- Q
Can I use this product and glycolic acid rotating each one?
- Asked by Heather
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there. You can rotate between AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution and Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner in alternating regimens. Please allow the skin some time in between to adjust after exfoliation. We'd recommend using the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution 1-2x/week, or, the Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 1-3x/week and slowly building up your tolerance.

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...

Wow, very affordable & effective product
No weird odors, easy to smear on (dont get it on your lops!). Let sit for 10 minutes and rinse. Your skin will be instantly smoother. Love it. It does tingle, that lets me know its woeking!
Buy it!
This will burn your face off! In a good and bad way. It burns within a minute of putting it on and will make your skin red and temder. But day 2…… is amazing! Smooth as silk! I did put a ton if barrier support oj aftwe because of the burning but I do that nightly and haven't experienced these results. Sensitive skin people should maybe only do once a week or twice a week for five minutes.
Holy grail for textured skin and hyperpigmentation
I bought this for hyperpigmentation on my body from insect bites. This product helped fade the marks quickly. It is also great for clearing hyperpigmentation from body acne scars. On the face, I notice an immediate glow and smoothness. I have lots of sebaceous filaments on my nose, causing it to feel bumpy but this peel made my nose baby smooth. However, if you use too much product or let it sit for too long, there will be redness on your face so be careful.
It works
Stings a little but totally worth it. My combo skin can be hard to care for, but this exfoliant helps slough off the dry patches that have a habit of clogging my pores. My complexion is clearer and my make-up goes on smoother.
Nothing better for closed comedones!
If you use this correctly, it is amazing! I have very oily skin and I get a lot of closed comedones and blackheads which is why I purchased this product - and it's very affordable. Using this only once a week, leaving it on for 5-7 minutes, then generously applying my moisturizer has made a huge difference in my skin! My face is finally baby smooth again and my pores are clearer almost immediately after using this resulting in plump, brighter skin. I wouldn't recommend using this on active or inflamed acne, and I definitely don't recommend using it as often as the bottle states…seriously, don't use it that often. A lot of irriation can come from potent products like this, but if you're careful using it and not overly sensitive, it really does work wonders!
