Hello, beauties !! How are you all? As we are becoming more aware of acids in our skincare. Many skincare acids ( For example-Salicylic acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Hyaluronic acid and many more) can work wonders for beautifying your skin, giving gorgeous, more youthful, radiant glow to the skin and sloughing off dead cells. The ordinary is one such brand which provides skincare at reasonable prices. I will be reviewing The Ordinary AHA 30%+BHA 2% Peeling Solution in this post today.
ABOUT
With 30% Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic/Lactic/Tartaric/Citric), 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid (Salicylic Acid), Hyaluronic Acid Crosspolymer, Vitamin B5, Black Carrot and Tasmanian Pepperberry
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) exfoliate the skin’s topmost surface for a brighter and more even appearance. Beta hydroxy acids (BHA) also exfoliate the skin with an extended function to help clear pore congestion. This combined 32% AHA/BHA solution offers deeper exfoliation to help fight visible blemishes and for improved skin radiance. The formula also improves the appearance of skin texture and reduces the look of fine lines with continued use.
This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin and varies in colour seasonally and this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time. This formula is further supported with a cross-polymer form of hyaluronic acid for comfort, Vitamin B5 to assist healing and black carrot as an antioxidant.
This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin.

MY TAKE ON THIS/FINAL VERDICT
I prefer using it once a week. I saw some redness after I used it by the very first time and I got scared that I may have spoiled my face. My skin is not sensitive or acne prone but still, we all have different skin so the product can behave other than expected also. I have not used direct acids on my face before. But I applied my moisturizer Cliniques moisture surge and that redness subsided after some time. The next day I got a clear face. To clarify I never got that redness again so I am loving this peel.
But I have not seen a drastic change right after the first use. It gives slight tingling sensation for few minutes when you apply it. You may notice some slight flaking, as this product is an exfoliant. You will definitely see a change after 3-4 uses. It will change your skin in so many beautiful ways.
Don’t overuse it. Once a week will be enough.
