The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (30ml)

Description

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a skincare product designed to exfoliate and improve the texture of your skin. It contains a combination of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHA).

Benefits

• Exfoliation: It helps remove dead skin cells, promoting a smoother and brighter complexion.
• Unclogs Pores: The BHA component (salicylic acid) can penetrate and unclog pores, reducing the occurrence of acne and blackheads.
• Improved Skin Texture: Regular use can lead to smoother, more refined skin texture.
• Reduced Hyperpigmentation: It can help fade the appearance of dark spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
• Enhanced Skin Radiance: Exfoliation reveals fresh, radiant skin by removing dull, outer layers.
• Fine Line Reduction: It may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
• Minimized Acne: By clearing pores and preventing the buildup of dead skin cells, it can be beneficial in the management of acne.

How to use

• Patch Test: Before using the product on your face, it’s essential to perform a patch test. Apply a small amount to a discreet area of your skin (e.g., behind your ear) and leave it on for 24 hours to check for any adverse reactions or irritation.
• Evening Application: This product is typically used in the evening as part of your skincare routine because it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Do not use it in the morning, and always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
• Cleansing: Start with clean, dry skin. Gently cleanse your face to remove any makeup, sunscreen, or impurities.
• Application: Using the dropper, apply a small amount of the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution to dry skin. You don’t need to use a lot of product; a few drops are usually enough to cover your face. Avoid the eye area and lips.
• Leave on: Leave the product on your skin for no more than 10 minutes. It’s not recommended to exceed this duration.
• Rinse Off: After 10 minutes, rinse the product off thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do not leave it on for longer than recommended, as it is a potent exfoliant.
• Follow with Moisturizer: After rinsing off the solution, you can apply your regular moisturizer to help hydrate your skin.
• Sunscreen: As mentioned earlier, it’s crucial to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following day and during the days after using this product. Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.
• Frequency: The Ordinary recommends using this product no more than twice a week. Overusing it can lead to skin irritation.
• Sensitivity: If you experience any excessive redness, burning, or irritation, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Some redness and tingling can be normal, but it should not be unbearable or long-lasting.
