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

I’ve been using this for over 4 years and repurchase it every single time I run out—it’s that good. I used to swear by Babyfacial by Drunk Elephant, but after trying this, I never went back. It gives me the same smooth, glowy, clarified skin without the crazy price tag. The formula is powerful (you can feel the tingle working), but it’s never been harsh on my skin as long as I follow the instructions. It’s a bit thinner than Babyfacial, but just as effective—maybe even more so. My skin always feels baby-soft after rinsing, and over time it’s made a huge difference in texture and brightness. Honestly, this stuff is magic in a bottle and such a skincare staple for me!

Really love this product! I’ve been using it once a week for a while now, and it truly clears up my skin. After each use, my skin looks brighter, fresher, and has a healthy glow. A must-have in my skincare routine!

Great item. Made my skin feel smooth and clean. Minimal burning effect. Budget friendly.

Stings a lot when first used. It takes a while to get used to it, and the stinging deters me from using it frequently or often, but I can see the benefit right after I wash it off, my skin is smooth and soft and bouncy. Really want to keep it up.

So, I've been doing facial peels for many years at home. Originally I would see my dermatologist about every other month and she would do them. Over time, I developed a long standing relationship with her, became a pharmaceutical rep and she gracefully and kindly "taught me the ropes" for performing the peels at home and at my own risk.With that being said, I've used glycolic peels, TCA peels, natural peels, you name it, I've tried it. This peel by ORDINARY is something all together different in terms of results, process of application, and time. I received my bottle within two days and it was packaged well. I read the directions and proceeded to wash my face with Cetaphil for sensitive skin. I rinsed my face several times using warm to hot water and then a cool water rinse. I patted dry and waited for about 5 minutes before applying the ORDINARY peel. You never want to use a peel when your skin is wet or damp.Once ready to apply, I used the dropper to suck some product up into the tube and then began lightly squeezing the dropper on my forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. Oddly enough, it does not really drip off your face. I'd say it's a bit thicker than a serum, but obviously thinner than a lotion. Once I thought I had enough product on my face using the dropper, I then spread the product around using a light touch with my fingertips.After my face was covered completely (and kinda scary looking as it looks like blood), I then set the timer for 12 minutes. The directions say not to leave on the skin for longer than TEN minutes, but I know my skin and I know what it can handle and what it takes for a product such as this to work effectively. During the time the product was on my skin, somewhere around the 7 minute mark, I began to feel a slight tingling and burning sensation, somewhat like a sunburn, but definitely very tolerable. This means that the product is working and performing as it should. Yeah!After my time was up, I rinsed my face for a good 5 minutes using cool water and making sure to not leave any product residue behind. I then patted dry very lightly and examined my skin in a high powered mirror. I was able to see areas of my skin where I've had previous issues of acne and slight wrinkles really respond to the peel. Yeah, again! I'm happy about this because this does not always happen with other peels. Seeing a response to the product means the product is really WORKING.I waited about another 5 minutes after patting dry and applied a light moisturizer, Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Intense Advanced Serum, which is sort of part serum, part light lotion and excellent for sensitive skin. About an hour later I again examined my skin and found it to be glowing, a bit pink, soft and even textured. I have JUST FOUND MY NEW BEST FRIEND.Not even considering price (which by the way is excellent), this will be my once a week go-to peel. It's not messy, it takes hardly any time to do and the results are fantastic. I'd recommend this to friends and others looking for an easy addition to their skin care routine, especially one that visible results are clear. At this time, I have no active acne breakouts, but I've had them on occasion in the recent past, perhaps a couple times a year I'll get one or two pimples. I think using this product regularly will prevent that from happening. I'm thrilled with my experience of the ORDINARY peel!

It stings and burns, but it made sun burn spots on my face lighter. Im using it on my hands as well. I will buy againThe next day you will see improvement

This mask made my skin feel like powder on the first use and stayed feeling soft even after showering! I have relatively severe acne which leaves my skin really dry, uneven, and have a lot of acne scars as well (i will show a pic of my skin for reference). Immediately my skin felt a lot less textured, dry and irritated and also I could see some of the scars even out a little bit. Also their other product Niacinamide 10% Zinc 1% helps me a lot for surface level break outs and scarring.

It's a good product. Do not recommend it to people with sensitive skin. It will burn like crazy.
