Immediate results!
Over the past few years, I've been trying to get rid of the little "blackheads" on my nose. I've tried everything from cleansers, scrub masks, peel masks, blackhead strips, etc. Then I learned they weren't even blackheads, but sebaceous filaments! I found this brand on tiktok (go figure), and I was ...

Great for sensitive-combination skin
Hey thanks to everyone for their reviews, I just used my peeling solution for the first time also. Right after washing off the peel my face felt so soft and smooth I applied the hyaluronic acid to add hydration back to my skin follow up with NMF. My face literally feels like a baby I'm thankful to D...

OMG sooo gooood!
It left my face noticeable smoother and more even. I'm definitely going to use once a week. I think that's more than enough.
Beware if you have sensitive skin
It started burning so badly on my skin so I had to instantly wash it off. 30 percent is strong so if you have sensitive skin be careful.
Broke out in rash
This broke my face out bad.
Repeat buyer
I love this product and have purchased it many times. I leave it on for about 5 minutes. It would not work for sensitive skin because it is a concentrated formula.
Will buy again

- Q
It says do not use in the same routine as peptides, so when done at in the pm just moisturizer my face after? Or what ordinary products do you use afterwards?
- Asked by Pretty in Pink
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there. Yes, we do not advise using Peptides in the same regimen as AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. You may wish to alternate them (Peptides in the AM, AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution in the PM). After using AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, we'd recommend a gentle hydrating product like Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 or Marine Hyaluronics . We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you
