The Ordinary's AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a strong at-home peel built mainly on glycolic, lactic, and tartaric acids with a smaller amount of salicylic acid, meant for a short application of about 10 minutes rather than daily use. It's designed to slough off dulling surface cells and refine texture in one sitting, leaving skin visibly brighter afterward. Because of the acid concentration, it's best reserved for skin that already tolerates regular exfoliation.
