Description
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) work both on the skin surface and inside pores to help clear congestion. This combined 32% AHA/BHA solution offers deeper exfoliation to help fight visible textural irregularities, while targetting the look of fine lines with continued use.
This pH of this formula is approximately 3.6. Glycolic Acid, the primary AHA present in the formula, has a pKa of 3.6. The pKa is the most important aspect to consider when formulating with acids as it implies acid availability. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing the efficacy of the acid and reducing the potential of developing irritation. Higher pH values in such a case would increase the concentration of salt, which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.Alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA) exfoliate the skin's topmost surface for a brighter and more even appearance. Beta hydroxyl 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 crosspolymer form of hyaluronic acid for comfort, Vitamin B5 to assist healing and black carrot as an antioxidant.
Note: This formula contains a very high concentration of free acids. We recommend use only if you are an experienced user of acid exfoliation and your skin is not sensitive.
Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note and other warnings in provided Directions.

Thank you to The Ordinary

This makes my skin so soft, the reviews made me nervous to buy. It really depends on your skin type. Make sure to follow the intructions and moistuize after. Definitely has a little stinging feel.
A must try

The Ordinary has no mention of a formula change in the packaging, but after contacting them they did admit they changed it, and doubled the price! I did a Ph test, it is not 3.5, Shame, they offered no resolution. Ill have to return to Ulta.
Regular Repurchase!

This is a regular part of my routine. I use semi weekly and am very happy with the results. Lightens only acne scars and sun spots for a more eaten skin tone.
Great

My skin was too sensitive to use this, causing a very bad burning sensation and some acne. HOWEVER, I do have family members that use this product and it has left their skin very nice! Do research on products based on your skin so that you can avoid any kind of discomfort, etc.

This peeling mask is great if you want to get rid of textured skin. Although it burns, which is expected from a peeling mask, it made my skin instantly smooth after using it once. It's a good addition to your skin care routine if you want to smooth out your skin!
MOISTURIZE PRIOR TO USE

#1 instrction on the box: MOISTURIZE PRIOR TO USE. This is an ACID (aka At Home chemical peel). While its not nearly as strong as what a plactic surgeon uses, it is still two acids. I recommend doing a SMALL patch test, perhaps near the hairline where your hair will cover it.
The moisturize protects against actual acid burn- but yes, acid peels have a burning sensation. Intolerable may not be the product, but your sensitive skin. BABY STEPS and not all AHA/BHA peels are created equal; Research first and Choose Wisely.

Definitely a chemical peel, but holy crap it burns. I dont have sensitive skin but this burned! It does help with breakouts and exfoliating but I can really only do it once a week. Also, why does it have to be blood colored?!
The Mad Hippie AHA exfoliating peel is way better. Doesnt burn or irritate your skin and can be left on overnight as it is more of a serum.
No no no

I usually love The Ordinary products and I was excited to try this one, as I have some acne scarring and larger pores. The smell is a bit off-putting but the much bigger issue is that it IMMEDIATELY began irritating and burning my skin. I lasted 30 seconds before washing it off. It's now been another 2 minutes since I removed it and my skin it still itchy and stings.
I'm glad it works for other people, but I would advise those with sensitive skin to stay away!!
