AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

Share information about your product.

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a ten-minute at-home facial and the strongest exfoliant in the range. A combined 32% free acid concentration puts it firmly in expert territory — this is not a gentle weekly toner, and it should only be used by people already comfortable with acid exfoliation.

🎯 What It Does

• Deeply resurfaces — 30% AHA blend lifts the topmost layer for a visibly brighter, more even surface
• Clears congestion — 2% salicylic acid works inside the pore to decongest
• Fights visible blemishes — combined action targets breakouts and their marks
• Refines texture and lines — improves smoothness and softens fine lines with continued use
• Buffers the sting — Tasmanian pepperberry derivative reduces the irritation acids normally cause
• Keeps skin comfortable — hyaluronic acid crosspolymer and Vitamin B5 support recovery

🔬 Key Ingredients

• Alpha Hydroxy Acids 30% — glycolic, lactic, tartaric and citric acids for surface resurfacing
• Salicylic Acid 2% — oil-soluble BHA that clears pore congestion
• Tasmanian Pepperberry — a studied derivative that reduces acid-related irritation
• Hyaluronic Acid Crosspolymer — keeps skin comfortable during the treatment
• Vitamin B5 & Black Carrot — support healing and provide antioxidant defence

📋 How to Use

1. Cleanse and wait until skin is completely dry — never apply to wet skin.
2. Apply evenly across face and neck with fingertips, avoiding the eye contour entirely.
3. Leave on for no more than 10 minutes.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use no more than twice per week.

Important safety information. Do not use on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. This formula contains a very high concentration of free acids and is recommended only for experienced users of acid exfoliation. Sunburn alert: this product contains AHAs and a BHA that increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and the possibility of sunburn. Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure while using it and for a week afterwards. Patch test before first use.

The Tasmanian pepperberry derivative varies in colour seasonally, so the shade of the formula may differ slightly between batches.
