The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is the cult-favorite at-home facial peel that delivers visibly smoother, clearer, more radiant skin in just 10 minutes. This high-strength exfoliating serum is designed to improve skin texture, prevent pore congestion, and target uneven skin tone — without the downtime of a professional peel.
The formula combines 5 exfoliating acids at a total of 32% concentration — glycolic, lactic, tartaric, citric and salicylic — to deliver high-strength exfoliation both on the skin's surface and deep within pores. It's balanced with hyaluronic acid for hydration, pro-vitamin B5 for soothing, black carrot extract for antioxidant support, and Tasmanian pepperberry — a known anti-irritant that helps the skin tolerate the high acid load. When compared to a professional acid peel, this solution offers comparable results while respecting the skin barrier.
