What is The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution?

The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a clinical-grade chemical exfoliant that delivers the highest concentration of exfoliating acids available in an over-the-counter skincare product. Developed by DECIEM (The Ordinary's parent company), this 10-minute rinse-off facial peel combines 30% Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) with 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) — a concentration typically found only in professional chemical peel treatments — to dramatically resurface the skin, reduce hyperpigmentation, fade acne scars, smooth texture, and reveal brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin. It is one of the most popular skincare products in Pakistan for treating the hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks prevalent in South Asian skin types.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

• 30% AHA Complex (Glycolic, Lactic, Tartaric & Citric Acids): The highest commercially available AHA concentration. These acids work together to exfoliate the outermost layers of dead skin cells, dramatically accelerate cell turnover, fade dark spots and post-acne hyperpigmentation, smooth fine lines, and reveal visibly brighter, smoother skin with regular use. Glycolic acid — the most effective AHA — leads the complex with the smallest molecule size for deepest penetration.
• 2% BHA (Salicylic Acid): Oil-soluble salicylic acid penetrates into pores to dissolve oil-based congestion, clear blackheads and whiteheads, control sebum production, and prevent future breakouts. Combined with the AHA complex, it provides both surface and within-pore exfoliation simultaneously.
• Tasmanian Pepperberry Derivative: Included at a sufficient concentration to reduce skin sensitivity and irritation that would otherwise be associated with this level of chemical exfoliation. This ingredient makes the formula more tolerable even for slightly sensitive skin.
• Black Carrot & Charcoal for Colour: The product's distinctive blood-red colour comes from black carrot — a natural antioxidant — and a small amount of activated charcoal. These do not have primary functional roles but provide antioxidant support and visual confirmation of even application.

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

This is a high-strength, rinse-off treatment — not a leave-on serum. Use it maximum 2 times per week on dry skin after cleansing, in the evening only. Apply an even layer to the face using fingertips, avoiding the eye area and any broken, inflamed, or cut skin. Leave on for exactly 10 minutes — do not exceed this time. The skin may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation, which is normal. Rinse off thoroughly with water. Follow immediately with a gentle, soothing moisturiser or serum. Always use SPF 50+ the following morning — the fresh skin exposed after chemical exfoliation is highly photosensitive. Do not use this product on the same evening as Retinol, other acids, or SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA Serum.

The Ordinary AHA+BHA Peeling Solution in Your Skincare Routine

Reserve this for 1–2 evenings per week as a treatment step after cleansing. On peeling solution nights, use only gentle, non-active skincare afterward — a simple moisturiser or The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid Serum for soothing hydration. Avoid SOME BY MI 30 Days Miracle Serum, retinol, or vitamin C on the same night. This product delivers cumulative brightening and resurfacing results with regular use — most people see measurable improvement in dark spots and skin clarity within 4–6 weeks.

Yes — at Korean Skincare Pakistan with Cash on Delivery nationwide.

What is the price in Pakistan?

PKR 5,400 at Korean Skincare Pakistan.

How often should I use the AHA BHA Peeling Solution?

Maximum 2 times per week. Beginners should start with once per week for the first month to allow skin to build tolerance to the high acid concentration.

Is it safe for dark skin tones or hyperpigmentation-prone skin?

Yes, when used as directed. Regular use (1–2x weekly, SPF daily) significantly fades hyperpigmentation and post-acne marks. Avoid overuse, which can temporarily increase skin sensitivity.

Can I use it with SOME BY MI 30 Days Miracle products?

Not on the same night — both are acid-based exfoliants and combining them increases irritation risk. Alternate on different evenings for best results.
