Description

AHA and BHA Peeling Solution refers to a blend of powerful exfoliating acids, including glycolic, lactic, citric, salicylic, and tartaric acids. AHAs like glycolic and lactic acids are water-soluble and effectively exfoliate multiple layers of skin, while BHAs like salicylic acid are oil-soluble, making them a gentler option for sensitive skin. The combination of both types in this solution creates a potent formula that delivers significant results.

We’re thrilled that so many of you are loving our AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution! However, we want to ensure that you’re using it safely.

Here are a few tips when starting with direct acids:

1. Always perform a patch test first.
2. Avoid using it alongside other direct acids, retinoids, or pure Vitamin C.
3. Use acids in the evening and always protect your skin from the sun.
4. Do not apply to peeling, compromised, sensitive, or broken skin.
5. Follow the directions provided on the packaging or our website.

The ordinary’s AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a 10-minute exfoliating facial, designed for those experienced with direct acids. It provides effective chemical exfoliation to tackle dullness and uneven texture, enhancing skin radiance with regular use. The formula also includes a Tasmanian pepperberry derivative to minimize irritation that can occur with acid use.

Given its high concentration of active acids, we do not recommend this formula for sensitive, compromised, or peeling skin.

While exfoliating acids offer quick visible benefits, they can also cause inflammation and sensitivity. For a gentler approach, consider our alternatives like the Lactic Acid Serum for indirect exfoliation.
