Replying to @John🇮🇪✝️☦️ The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a highly concentrated exfoliating treatment designed to provide deep skin renewal and improve the appearance of skin texture, tone, and clarity. It combines Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) to exfoliate both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. AHA 30% (Alpha Hydroxy Acid): Primarily glycolic acid, AHAs help to exfoliate the surface of the skin, removing dead skin cells, improving skin texture, and boosting radiance. BHA 2% (Beta Hydroxy Acid): Salicylic acid, BHA penetrates deeper into the pores, helping to exfoliate and clear out debris, making it especially beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin. Additional Ingredients: The formula also includes soothing agents like Tasmanian pepperberry extract to minimize irritation and redness. Key Benefits: Exfoliation: Helps slough off dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter skin. Improved Skin Texture: Can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, rough patches, and clogged pores. Clearer Skin: BHA penetrates into the pores, helping to reduce the occurrence of breakouts and blackheads. Radiance Boost: AHAs promote a fresh, luminous complexion by removing dull, dead skin. How to Use: Patch Test First: Always perform a patch test 24 hours before using the product on your face. Apply a small amount to a discrete area, such as behind the ear, and wait for 24 hours to check for any allergic reactions or irritation. Cleanse: Begin with clean, dry skin. Wash your face using a gentle cleanser, and ensure your skin is completely dry before applying the peeling solution. This is important because applying acids to damp skin can increase irritation. Apply the Solution: Using your fingertips, apply a thin, even layer of the peeling solution to your face. Avoid the eye area, lips, and any broken or irritated skin. Leave On for 10 Minutes: The treatment should only be left on for no more than 10 minutes. During this time, you may feel a tingling or slight burning sensation, which is normal, but if it becomes painful or intolerable, rinse off immediately with water. Rinse Off: After 10 minutes, rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water. Make sure to remove all product from your skin. Follow Up with Skincare: After rinsing, follow with a soothing toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). Avoid using any other exfoliating treatments (such as retinoids or other acids) on the same day to prevent over-exfoliation. Frequency of Use: For beginners: Start by using the peeling solution once a week to assess how your skin reacts. For experienced users: You may use it up to 2-3 times a week if your skin tolerates it, but do not exceed the recommended usage to avoid irritation. Precautions & Tips: Sun Protection: AHAs and BHAs can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, making it more prone to sunburn. Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) during the day, especially when using this product. Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply this solution to areas with active breakouts, cuts, or irritation. Avoid the eye area and any mucous membranes. Sensitive Skin Warning: If you have sensitive skin or are prone to irritation, consider patch testing and using the solution less frequently. Not for Use on Skin with Active Conditions: Do not use on skin with rosacea, eczema, or severe acne, unless advised by a dermatologist. Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycolic Acid, Purified Water, Tasmanian Pepperberry (Tasmannia Lanceolata) Extract, Sodium Hydroxide, Salicylic Acid, and more.
