Product Specifications & Details

Why Choose The Ordinary Direct Acids AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution?

THE ORDINARY AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is designed for customers who already have experience with acid exfoliation and want a more intensive exfoliating treatment. Its combination of AHA and BHA provides exfoliating care for both the appearance of surface texture and pore congestion.

The high-strength 30% AHA and 2% BHA formula makes this a more intensive option than a basic exfoliating toner or serum. It can be used as part of a carefully planned routine when concerns include dullness, uneven texture and uneven-looking skin tone.

Because of its high acid concentration, this product requires careful use. The Ordinary recommends it for experienced acid users and advises against using it on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin.
