This has helped so much with these acne scars I have had for years it is insane. This is the difference in a year of using it no filters or anything its great.

This product is my holy grail. I'm 38 and I've struggled with acne all of my adult life. This deeply cleanses and exfoliates. I rarely get pimples any more. It's very strong. I recommend using a timer and start with only a few minutes. I'm not a make up girly but using this once a week or bi weekly leaves my skin looking presentable without makeup!

The best serums. The niacinamide gives my face a different look.

Brit05510 months ago

I bought it for the first time and used it day 1. Saw incredible results ! I was looking for a product to brighten and smooth some texture on my forehead and chin area and it did that immediately. Next day results were even better. I could feel how smoothe my skin looked when I woke up. I only let it sit for 7 min. Maybe next time I will try 8.

After battling with my skin for months and because anxiety and stress made me look dull, I was looking for an exfoliating product but as my skin is very sensitive I avoid harsh scrubs…I tried it for 3 min on the first time cause I was afraid it would be too strong, in only 3 min I got a baby skin, super soft and i literally saw my pores getting cleaner. I am flabbergasted by the efficiency of the product! And for the price!!! You got yourself a new client for life!

Blood peel as i call it. Gives funny pinching sensation when applied on skin. I use it for face , neck, shoulders and hands. Nicely removes ded skin but must be carefull with timing. Better shorter than too long, from my experience if you are begginer let skin adjust othervise u will burn it. Like this product, use every other week and alwas apply moisturiser afterwoods

This is product is amazing for acne. I had a bunch of blackheads and whiteheads and after using this a couple times ive noticed they've started going away. i use this after washing my face with la roche posay foaming cleanser. Make sure to apply with completely dry skin because if your skin is slightly damp it will burn really bad. At first application it will tingle and burn a bit but it should stop as it dries. I leave it on for ten minutes and when i rinse it off with warm water, it my skin feels so soft. I have dry skin and this doesn't dry it out. I use it about two times a week which is the recommendation. Worth your money.

I am on my second bottle of this and I love it! I let my skin go for a couple of months and when I noticed, I did this peel twice; three nights apart. The difference is amazing! I will never let my skincare regimen go again.

AHoney10 months ago

This product has improve my skin in less than 4 weeks. I use it as instructed and couldn’t be happier.

kimmyd10 months ago

GET IT! Use it as directed! It faded my scars after 1 use! Look at my before and after photos (taken a few days a part)! This is an absolute staple in my routine now! I love it so much! (:

I used this tonight and only had it on for three minutes. By the three minute mark I started to feel burning. I do not typically have sensitive skin. The peel is way too strong I received a chemical burn on my cheeks by the time I was finally able to get it off.

Symphony1 year ago

Thank you for creating such amazing products. I used the peeling solution this morning and my skin feels like baby’s skin & it’s glowing! My face was a little rough due to my period and stress but once I used this and washed it off it came back to life! My face was so smooth that I thought it was the mask so I kept washing and washing it 🥹😂😍🥰

I recently started using the ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% peeling solution. I have so far found it to be helpful in lightening dark blemishes. As a result, I have included the product in my skin regimen. The product is not harsh on the skin, initially there is a tingling sensation when the product is applied; however, it is bearable. It took some time for me to truly start seeing results but consistency in using the product is very important where that is concerned. There is no massive peeling or shedding of the skin, which is a plus and there is no excessive dryness. I would definitely recommend the product for persons who are seeking to brighten their skin from acne marks. All in all, I found it to be helpful so far and I plan to continue using it.

Cjeffer2202 years ago

I've used this product for about three months now (I like to wait 2-3mo before posting reviews so they're as honest as possible). I use it once every 7-10 days, in addition to a Salicylic acid masque about 4-5 days after this (so I'm still just using direct acids no more than 1-2x/week). I apply about 1-1.5 droppers full onto my face and gently massage in, then set my timer! \r\n The scent is wonderfully sweet, subtle, and fruity. I was worried the product might stain, but so far I've not stained anything since it rinses off so well. This product gives instant gratification and my skin is immediately baby-bum smooth for the next 1-2 days. It seems to be slightly drying and very tingly, so I make sure to use a little extra moisturizer after this. \r\n\r\nAwesome product, but I can't use more than every 7-10 days since it's so strong!

Skylar2 years ago

I have been strugging for years with irregular, bumpy skin and hormonal acne flare ups and nothing ever really could do much against it - at best I had some products to take care of acute pimples... But now - and I kid you not - I used this product twice as instructed by the package and my skin is already soft as a baby and for the first time in my life i can actually run a finger over my cheeks/jaw and feel at most 2-3 noticable bumps on either side of my face!! \r\n\r\nInterestingly enough, I noticed the effects really kicking in in both cases the morning after up to 2 days later rather than immedeatly after application so if anyone is wondering if it is working for them - have patience, use it a few times as intstructed and wait and see.\r\n\r\n But yes, overall I love it and I hope it will keep performing just as nicely for the future to come.

Lexiexoxo__3 years ago

This chemical peel is awesome! So far I have only used it twice with a week in between each usage. I am slowly trying to make my way up to using it once every week, but since I don't particularly have acne scars and such I might just stick to twice a month. The product is great at getting rid of that top layer of dead dull skin and leaves your face feeling fresh and clean. I will say that following instructions is a MUST!!! I've heard of a lot of incidents with this and aside from now following directions I am not sure how someone could end up with burns. If you're not an experienced user (I.e. use acids regularly on your skin) I would stay away from this one until you have built some tolerance as it can feel tingly on the skin; which is normal. Overall, I do see myself continuing to use this and will recommend it ONLY to experienced acid users and people who know how to patch test.

I’ve bought several The Ordinary products and tried it out almost a month. It did nothing to make my skin better but worse. Black spots, acne scars and blemish still remain the same or worse. Truly disappointed and it’s overrated. DECIEM Response: We're so sorry to hear it's not working out. Please note it is difficult to say exactly how long it will take to achieve the desired result.

I've been using this product for about 7 weeks now, at first I wasn't sure how this product was performing because I bought it along with the squalane oil and the 10% niacinamide and I had issues with both of those products. Ive been using this on its own for for a month now. I thought I was at least semi used to acids but I was wrong, this stuff is strong! There wasn't any burning sensation, redness or flaking skin, but I was using this for the full 10 minutes once a week and I was consistently breaking out the day after in these strange whiteheads, in places I dont normally get them. However, I was determined to give this product a good try, so I knocked the time down to 5-6 minutes and now its working perfectly. No more breaking out and I can see that my skin is more and more decongested! That was my goal and I am sure that I will see more improvements the longer I use it.

So far am loving all the items I purchased but most especially this one.I basically went all out to order the below items and group them accordingly as set out below:AMSalicylic on the the spotsNiacinamideHyaluronicMarula oil (only dab)then continue with my own sunblock tinted creamPMCleanserGlycolic tonerVitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside 12%) - which I do dailyAlpha Arbutin + 2% HA - daily also (planning to add in the morning as well)Granactive Retinoid in 2% squalen - MWFAzelaic 10% suspension - TTHSThe AHA 30% + BHA 2% I only use once a week on Sundays and follow it up with HA 2% and my own night oilSO far in 3 weeks I have notice a brightening and lightening of the pigment from a dried out pimple.I do not if I am overdoing it so far so good...now am missing the caffeine mix for the eye area which I plan to order + another set for stocking purposes! Love ordinary!

JR5 years ago

I recently started taking care of my skin again and bought a few select products after endless research. Been very good with my routine for about 2 months now. This AHA/BHA peel is my newest purchase (just got it this week), and it has been The Best Thing yet! I never review anything before using it for at least a month, but this peel was truly effective from the very first use. The blood-red color freaked me out, but aside from some mild tingling, there was zero discomfort. Followed the directions exactly as stated, followed it up with only a thin layer of Buffet (my other recent fav), and my face just looked healthy and fresh -- and even more so the following morning. This will replace my usual nightly glycolic and BHA treatments. Don't think I need those anymore! DECIEM Response: Hi Jeannie! Thank you for sharing! We love that you love the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution!

AM5 years ago

So I’m basically OBSESSED!I purchased the AHA 30% and BHA 2% peeling solution, Niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% and the glycolic acid 7% toning solution. I’ve got to say, I’m loving every single product, especially the AHA 30% and BHA 2% peeling solution!This is my first ever review but I had no choice but to write one because OMG how my skin has changed from one use. I’m literally IN LOVE! I was wondering, I use the peeling solution once every week, can I use the glycolic acid 7% toning solution on the days I’m not using the AHA 30% and BHA 2% peeling solution? Is it to much? Will I be over exfoliating my skin? Thank you DECIEM for blessing me with these amazing PRODUCTS! ❤️ DECIEM Response: We're so happy you're loving The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. You may indeed use Glycolic Acid on the days you don't use AHA + BHA Peeling Solution. Thank you for your raving review ❤

CG5 years ago

I rarely write reviews, if ever, but I had to for these products. I saw such positive reviews I bought 5 things right before the new year to help with my hypopigmentation and acne scars plus uneven tone. I use Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA and Azelaic Acid Suspension in the morning then the Alpha Arbutin 2% plus Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% at night. Every few days I’ll use the Glycolic Acid Toning Solution 7% and AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution.It’s been less than two months and my skin looks the best it has in years. I wish I could attach a photo to back my claim up. My scars are extremely light, the pigmentation issues are barely visible and my makeup glides on and looks so smooth without having to dot on concealer all over. I highly, highly recommend getting these products if you have similar issues, it’s been an absolute game changer.

BB5 years ago

This has been a game-changer. The 2% salicylic acid solution by itself did wonders for my skin tone and acne, but this just took it to a whole new level. After I get out of the shower, I cleanse with micellar water and then spread about a pipette's worth all over my face and the parts of my neck that have scarring or discolouration. It's also an amazing incentive not to go on a face-picking spree, because my god it stings like hell if you accidentally get it into an open cut. It tingles when it first goes on, but I've never had much irritation afterwards, and I can irritate my skin by putting a jumper on in the morning and accidentally touching it to my face, so that's saying something. I haven't had skin this clear and smooth since before I turned 10, and I'm still amazed every time I see myself in the mirror. DECIEM Response: This is so lovely to hear, thank you Bronwyn!

I never write reviews but I had to with this one. I’ve tried many Ordinary products but this one takes the cake. My skin did a freak out recently and had not seen that much horrible acne in a while. I keep a normal healthy diet, but I went overboard with everything bad due to the lockdown/stress and my skin just went nuts. Read as many reviews as possible before buying this and decided to try it, I was desperate. I made sure to do a ridged routine (wash, tone, hydrate, oil) day and night for 3 days then tried the peel. I woke up the next morning and my skin looked amazing ! Red bumps faded and flat, new deep pimples totally defused and my skin looked brighter and clean. My big pores looked more faded as well. Make sure you double moisturize after the peel, best before bed. I have combination skin mostly oily. Can’t wait to use it again next week. Thank you for this product !
