How To Use

The Ordinary recommends performing a patch test prior to incorporating a new product into your skin care routine.

Use ideally in the PM, no more frequently than twice per week. Clean face and wait for skin to dry. Do not use on wet skin. Apply evenly across face and neck using your fingertips. Leave on for no more than 10 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.

A top tip when dying eyebrows: Apply the mask while the dye is sitting, and rinse both together in the shower for a quick, convenient experience.

Q
does it peel the skin
Asked by jen
Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand Engage
Hi there! AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is an at-home exfoliating facial for experienced users seeking to improve texture, reduce pore congestion, and target uneven skin tone. It works by using alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to exfoliate the skin's surface and penetrate into the pores. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you

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.

I've been using this product for 3 weeks now and am having huge success! I love the burn, it's gentle but lets me know magic is happening. My problem areas are responding so well, I'm very pleased with this product. Price makes it even better.

Cleared and shrunk my pores in 10 minutes flat! I have very sensitive akin and at first it tingled like a lip plumper but that faded quickly and after about 1 minute there was no further discomfort.

I know I keep boasting about this company but it keeps delivering time and again year after year. I use this as my first serum in my skincare process. I am always complemented on how beautiful my skin looks.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

So far so good

I did a test spot on my cheek like the employee suggested. I dont have sensitive skin at all and the test soot did fine after 8 minutes. Put it on my whole face and in certain areas where i am more oily or prone to breakouts (chin, mainly) did have a slight burn, nothing like when i use my amazonian clay mask mixed with apple code vineage though. Its a slight tingle. After washing it off my skin felt AMAZING! i used Caudalie serum and tatcha skin cream afterwards and i love it. I really hope this will keep my hormonal/PMS acne at bay. Time will tell!!

I get facials but have an event coming up and wanted to try something DIY. I found The Ordinary on a beauty rated site and bought it. The minute I rinsed it off I could feel how hydrated my skin was and it just drank in my moisturizer. I am a "woman of a certain age" and have sensitive skin so I think this was a great choice. I will buy it again.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
