How to use The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a rinse-off exfoliating mask designed to smooth and brighten the appearance of skin. Its AHA and BHA blend makes it a practical option for an at-home evening skincare routine. Apply to clean, completely dry skin, leave on for no longer than 10 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water; use no more than twice a week. It may suit those seeking a targeted exfoliating step. Avoid the eye area and use sunscreen afterwards.

How to Choose the Right Exfoliating Face Mask

Choose an exfoliating face mask by matching its exfoliating ingredients and strength to your skin’s needs, then check that the directions and aftercare fit your routine. A higher acid percentage is not automatically a better choice, particularly if your skin is sensitive or new to exfoliation.

Key Features to Consider

Compare the ingredient type, suitability for your skin and practical instructions before buying.

  • Exfoliating ingredients and strength: Check whether the formula uses AHAs, such as glycolic or lactic acid, which work on the skin’s surface, or BHAs, such as salicylic acid. Review the stated concentration and contact time; if you are new to acid exfoliants, consider a gentler option rather than choosing the strongest formula.
  • Skin type and tolerance: Read the label for suitability and cautions, especially if your skin is sensitive, dry, blemish-prone or easily irritated. Look for clear usage guidance and avoid assuming that a mask labelled for one concern will suit every skin type; patch test before first use.
  • Directions and aftercare: Check how long the mask should stay on, how often it can be used and whether it needs rinsing off, as leaving an exfoliant on for longer may cause irritation. For acid-based masks, check the aftercare advice, including daily sun protection, and consider whether the routine is easy to follow consistently.
