- Q
I bought the AHA 30% + BHA 2% High-Strength Peeling Solution for Brightening how should I use both that and the Glycolouc toner?
- Asked by Jo
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there, we recommend using AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution and Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner in separate regimens as they are both direct acids. We'd recommend using the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution once a week, and Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 1-2x/week in separate regimens (preferably in the PM) if you're planning on using both of them.

- Q
Why is it not recommended to use this or other direct acids with the GF 15 serum? Thanks in advance!
- Asked by B. R.
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageAs growth factors are structurally similar to peptides, we recommend avoiding applying our GF 15% Solution in the same regimen as formulations containing direct acids and direct vitamin C. This is because the acidic nature of the formulas can lead to the hydrolysis (breakdown) of the growth factor molecules.Was this answer helpful to you

Chemical Scalp Exfoliant - Helps Manage Dandruff & Oils
I use this product for "other than the intended purpose". Skin care is important to me, but I struggle with psoriasis/dermatitis which sometimes results in dandruff and a rough patch behind one ear. In the past I have tried glycolic acid for my face and it was terrible. More than just a purging, it...

Not a bad product, my skin just didn't care for it
Product came with 2 options to apply them with: a squirtle or a regular top lid thingy. I chose the squirtle and I'd spritz it on a bottom pad and swept across my face. It would sting me. I thought my skin was just not used to it. This was one of the first products I purchased when I got into skinca...

Nice
I used it on my face and it's great for armpits odor because deodorant make rashes
I would buy it again, it helps so much!!
I really like how it felt on my skin and it got rid of so much I feel way more confident now
glowy and even skin!
im not a person to say "OMG THIS CHANGED MY LIFE 10/5 STARS", but this is pretty good. I have semi-oily skin (combination maybe?) with minimal acne and after about a week and a half my skin started to become clearer with a more even tone. Dare I say brighter too! I cant say what'll be for those with dry/very oily/sensitive skin, but if the way I describe my skin applies to you give it a try! (WEAR SUNSCREEN WITH IT)
Love it
I originally got this in the smaller size to clear up some clogged pores on my forehead, and then ended up using it for so many differeht things - rouch patches on my knees and elbows, KP on my arms, etc. You have to be consistent to see results, and following up with a physical exfoliant every so often will help speed up the process. But now my forehead is clear, knees and elbows are so soft, and the KP on my arms is gone! I repurchased but in the bigger size this time
Immediate results!
This product showed me immediate results when putting it on my acne and pores. I usually put it on every other night. Putting it on every night is a little harsh on your skin but other than that, I recommend!
