The OrdinaryAHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, Advanced Exfoliating Peel for Brighter Skin

This peel from The Ordinary is highly effective — the 30% AHA + 2% BHA combo noticeably smooths skin, clears pores, and brightens the complexion after just a few uses. It’s a great value for its strength.However, it’s very strong and can cause irritation, especially if your skin is sensitive or if you’re new to acids. Use it only once or twice a week, for no more than 10 minutes, and always follow with sunscreen. It works — but you have to be careful with it.

This peel is an absolute game-changer if you want brighter, smoother skin. It applies easily with the dropper, spreads evenly, and has a satisfying lightweight texture. The tingling is mild but lets you know it’s working. In just 10 minutes, it clears away dead skin, unclogs pores, and leaves my face soft, radiant, and refreshed. I’ve noticed my skin tone looking more even, fine lines softened, and stubborn texture reduced after consistent use. The deep red color rinses off cleanly without residue, and the results feel almost spa-level at home.It’s incredibly effective, especially for congestion and dullness, but strong enough that I stick to once or twice a week. With regular use, my skin feels renewed and absorbs my serums and moisturizers so much better. Definitely worth keeping in your skincare rotation.

I'm a beginner to skincare and especially to chemical peels. People on the internet warned me that this wasn't beginner-friendly, but I strongly disagree. This was a perfect introduction. The instructions were very clear, the peel itself was simple to use, and the results have been great. I'm working on some acne scars and general skin redness on both my face and arms. On my arms, I don't usually feel anything from the peel (which I use about twice a week), but the results are quickly visible in the next day or two. On my face, there's a light stinging kind of itchy sensation, but it's not unbearable or painful, and I still like the results. I really like this peel and I think the slow and steady ones are probably a better fit for me than the more intense ones people talk about!

This peeling solution makes my skin feel smoother and brighter after just a few uses. It’s very strong, so I only leave it on for a few minutes and use sunscreen after. It can sting a little, but overall it’s an effective product for deep exfoliation.

This product is a game-changer if you're looking to improve skin texture, reduce dullness, and manage acne. It's become a staple in my routine, and I always recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and effective at-home peel.

I was a bit nervous to try a chemical peel at home, but this product exceeded my expectations. The texture is lightweight and easy to apply, and I felt only a slight tingling sensation the first time. After rinsing, my skin immediately felt smoother and looked brighter.I’ve been using it twice a week, and after a few uses, I’ve noticed a big improvement in the appearance of my pores and overall skin tone. It hasn’t caused any irritation or dryness, which is a big win for my sensitive skin. This peeling is now a permanent part of my skincare routine. Highly recommended!

I wasn’t sure what to expect but I trust this brand. I was NOT disappointed! My skin looks and feels so much better. I’ve had professional facials that did not produce these results. Make sure to follow the directions, it is powerful. I started with 5 minutes then progressed.

Not sure yet. It kinda irritates the face whenever I use it. I use it once each week and lace it for about 6-7 mins
