body{margin-left:12%}Product ReviewsRated 4.33 out of 5 stars2376 ReviewsMost Helpful Positive ReviewWow! Immediate results.I've used this mask a few times now and I'm very impressed. After just my first use, my skin felt smoother than it has in years. My skin looked brighter, visibly softer, more even. I have mildly sensitive skin. I'm prone to redness and dryness. This mask made my skin feel a little tight afterwards and my cheeks did have some temporary redness, but that's somewhat to be expected with such a strong AHA. I moisturized afterwards with The Ordinary's standard moisturizer. I did not (and do not recommend) use any other products that evening. Just my pre-peel wash, the AHA/BHA mask, and my moisturizer. This product is very, very strong and should be used on a night you're not using any other actives to reduce irritation. I did a ton of research before I purchased and used this product, and I would recommend anyone considering it does their due diligence and research it as well. It's definitely a very powerful chemical and perfectly safe if used properly, but I can see the potential for disaster if used improperly. All in all, I definitely recommend this product for 25+ skin. I think it's probably more powerful than someone under 25 needs, unless they're dealing with acne scarring or some other topical skin concerns that would warrant a strong acid like this. If you have rosacea, I definitely recommend you consult with a dermatologist or esthetician before trying this product.Most Helpful Critical ReviewI would never buy this product ever againI read how to use this product and once I received it, I made sure to follow directions. I used it once a week for three weeks, for no more than 10 min and then washed it with lukewarm water. I noticed some stinging on my cheek and chin area but I thought it was normal because it was mentioned everywhere that it stings a little. After the third week, I realized my cheek and chin area, the skin was damaged and really flaky and peeling off. My skin was literally peeling off and it hurt really bad. So I searched it up, and noticed how it happened to a few other girls too. I still have this burns on my face and they look really bad, I tried to make it a little better by using petroleum jelly and other burn creams but nothing is working. And my skin looks really gross, and dark and also really flaky. I definitely DO NOT recommend this product at all. It doesn't work on everyone's face, and it can legit just ruin your whole face and the company won't do anything about it. I really hope my skin heals I'll give it some time but if it doesn't, I will be taking bigger actions. Thank you for reading this, have a great day.Reviewed by 2376 customersLOVE IT!5neveah from txafter using this my skin has been so much better, less acne, softer and not rough, not dry nor oily. it has a little sting to it but it's not bad towards where you HAVE to take it off so that's awesome. definitely going to be purchasing this again!Great product!5Jen H. from Citrus Heights CAI love The Ordinary line of products! The Peeling Solution is a great product if you use it correctly. If your face is not used to acids I would start out once a week for 3-5 mins then work your way to twice a week for 5-10 mins. Make sure to use on clean and completely dry skin. I've noticed how soft my skin is now and my pores look so much better. I used to have blackheads and large pores and my pores appear considerably smaller and I love it!The hype is real5shara from MassI don't even know what to say. I used this chemical peels after all the rave reviews so I has to try it myself. My lord. I went to bed with some zits & woke up and they were GONE. As a 35 year old woman in Healthcare who wears a mask all day to say I am impressed is an understatement. My skin also feels and looks amazing! So happy to have found this!Don't buy made skin super sensitive1Maria from CaliforniaI spread a little amount just like a tiktoker said and left it on for 10 mins it left my skin with pain and red, my skin is currently not wanting any of my k-beauty skincare products (serums, toner, essence) they burn, I can only use light amounts of cream that aren't enough to keep my skin glowingThis changed my life5Jenny C from Chicago, ILI use to struggle with acne for years and now at 32 years of age I found something that gently exfoliates my skin. The cause of my acne has been contested pores. Since using this for a few months I break out less often and my skin looks brighter, more even toned, and less texture. This has been a godsend.I never write reviews5madi from philadelphiaseriously y'all I NEVER do this. but lemme tell u i've been struggling with acne scars for YEARSSS now and i've tried legit everything. nothing makes as much of a difference as this product. immediately after the first use my skin looked way more even toned, there is a slight burning sensation and I have combo and sensitive skin. if you struggle with acne scars and are debating this, do not sleep on it any longerBurnt my face1Danni from OpelousasThis peeling solution burnt my skin. I was doing it twice a week. I was leaving it on for like 5 mins every time and it still burnt my face. A lot of people Ik that used this product had that happened to them.I would buy this product again!4ADLR from Arlington, TexasI use this product once a week. At first, I user it twice a week which made my skin super sensitive and at one point, my skin burnt because I didnt use sunblock everyday. Now that I used it once a week and use sunblock everyday, my skin is alot better.Love this!5Dvp from ColoradoSlight burning sensation. I can only use for 5 minutes. Glowing skin after use and fewer breakouts.Great product!5Deb from TexasI have been having super dry skin. I tried this and it actually helps with the dryness. It can tingle a little bit but I think it feels nice. It caused my skin to purge and break out a little in the beginning. Highly recommend.BUY THIS5A from Oklahomahurts but is very effectiveI would buy this again.4Tae from Chillicothe, OHI liked the product, but highly suggest to watch some tutorials on how to put it on correctly. I've been using this twice a week with my oily, acne skin and it has been helping. Great price point as well.Start slow and build up5Faye from SacramentoI have dry, sensitive skin prone to redness so I was nervous about using this product. However, I wanted something that would help tackle texture issues with my skin. This product has worked really well for me. Immediately after use my skin feels so much smoother that it ever has. This is a powerful exfoliant and may not work for everyone, but I would recommend following package instructions exactly. Also, I started very slow. I used a very light coating of the product my first use and only left in on for 5 minutes. I use the product once a week and have slowly built up to leaving it on my skin longer (but no more than 10 min. MAX). There is some slight sensitivity to the sun the next day, but that's totally to be expected. As for my routine when I used this product, I wash with a gentle, cream-based cleanser, dry skin and use this product, then I follow up with toner and a heavy moisturizer. You are not supposed to use other actives when you use this product. Again, this product is doing wonders for me, but it may not be for all skin types.Definitely works5Abigail M from OrlandoAbigailSensitive skin beware1Somewhatraven from Santa Clarita, CAI bought This product after reading all the amazing reviews and seeing the great results of other people. Unfortunately, I did not heed the warnings for sensitive skin. I have facial eczema and decided to risk it. I'm here to tell you not to make my same mistakes. It irritated my skin terribly and ruined the texture for awhile, among creating a terrible flair up. After months, I am finally seeing improvement. IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN OR SKIN ISSUES DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.Love this!!!5Dorito from CanadaAmazing product!6 months of use and LOVE5K from VAThis product rejuvenates your skin like no other! So glad to have this option on the market at an affordable price! Follow the directions! Do not drip it down your face. Patch test first. Apply only a moisturizer after.Nooo1Lizzy from WaI used this multiple times. My skin kept breaking out and burned worse than an oven. I don't even have sensitive skinSmarter to BUY THIS STRAIGHT FROM DECIEM5Sturgisbaby from GALove The Ordinary products. Very reasonably priced and many items to choose from depending on your needs.I hope they never stop making this5SARA from NYCI use this product a lot more than recommended. My skin has been problematic since I was 12. Recently, as I approached 30 and my diet improved, it hasn't been as bad, but my skin is either too oily or too dry and there has always been breakouts no matter what. I had figured out a very intricate routine of applying lots of salicylic acid after a shower then twice more during the day and sleeping with a glycolic or other acid treatment at night and i used lots of exfloliaters, including a face brush and a scrub that finally balanced my skin to a reasonable degree. I KNOW what people say on the internet about overdoing acids and not moisturizing and I'm not here to preach, just tell you that given my history, my skin was very used to lots of acid use. That being said, when i started using this, i felt nothing. I was a little scared of adding another acid, but it didn't feel like it was drying or stinging. But since i was skeptical, I applied a thin layer for 5 minutes before my shower in the morning. Then I'd use my random face wash with spinny face brush and hop in the shower. After using every other day for a week, I ran out of my usual clean and clear astringent, and pandemic means I don't particularly want to go get more. So i switched to witch hazel for toning. After 2 weeks of only using face wash(some kale one I found at sally?) this product and witch hazel, I have clear skin! Even the scarring that used to take 8-12 months to completely go away is gone! Yes, I use it every day and since it's winter i add in hyaluronic acid moisture once a day (not always TBH) but this is the simplest routine I've ever had and idc what anyone says, it works so well. It is truly a miracle product. But remember, my skin was used to lots of acid use. I still see some breakouts try to form, but they shrink up and don't really show. I'm not a big make up person but even if I was, I don't think I'd need much anymore. 10/10 will keep buying forever.I am in love with this product5Nikki from Los AngelesI have just purchased my 2nd bottle of this product and also purchased one for my sister. This is a strong exfoliating serum that burns a bit on contact and pays back with smooth, wonderful skin. But please be aware that this product is NOT for those with sensitive skin. My skin is thick, non-sensitive and strong and this product worked perfectly for me- no reddening, no sensitivity, no dryness afterward. It is extremely important to follow the directions exactly- leave on no more than 10 minutes, use no more than twice a week. It took me just over 3 months to go through my first bottle. I pray that this product is always available. It's the best exfoliating serum I've ever used.Amazing product!!5Axan13 from MarylandPlease do not miss out on good skin and skincare.Buy it!5Miranda from San AntonioI had been hesitating on buying this bc nothing ever works for my skin.. I have combo skin/acne prone and I was trying to get rid of the redness on my face and it's obviously not completely gone after my first use but I could see a huge difference! My skin was ✨glowwiinngg✨I would buy again4Hannah from Cincinnati, OHa lot of people said it burns when applying it so I was some what scared but honestly didn't burn my skin at all and I have sensitive skin... it actually made my skin feel greatMy skin says thanks5eggrollfunk from North CarolinaREAD THE DIRECTIONS LADIES. I left this on for about 7 minutes and I could feel some tingling toward the end. My skin wasn't red or irritated after use. It was really soft and my T-zone wasn't dry and flaky like it was before use. I have some terrible winter skin problems in my T-zone! Hope this product continues to help. I love The Ordinary skin products!
