The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a professional-strength exfoliating treatment designed to deeply resurface the skin for a radiant, healthy glow. This cult-favorite peel combines 30% Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) — including glycolic, lactic, tartaric, and citric acids — with 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), also known as salicylic acid, to deliver a powerful dual-action exfoliation.

This peeling solution helps unclog pores, reduce blemishes, smooth fine lines, and improve uneven skin texture. The addition of hyaluronic acid crosspolymer, vitamin B5, black carrot, and Tasmanian pepperberry extract provides hydration and soothes irritation, making it effective while minimizing sensitivity.

With consistent use, it promotes clearer skin, enhanced radiance, and a refined complexion, making it ideal for those dealing with dullness, rough texture, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven tone.

• Exfoliates dead skin cells for a brighter, smoother complexion
