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.

This is my holy grail face mask. I'm 35+ and I have acne-prone skin. Using this once per week keeps the dead skin cells to a minimum, and keeps my pores clean. I use this at least 1x every week. This is not a good option if you have sensitive skin, or have active breakouts.
Nice mask!

I started using this product last month and can visibly see a difference in the brightness and overall evenness of my skin tone. My son noticed it as well. I use it once every two weeks. The first time using it, I didn't experience any burning. The next few times, it stung a bit, but tolerable. My skin looks great. I do not exceed 10 minutes as the bottle says. I follow up with a light lavender facial oil. I will definitely continue to use. Great buy!
Tried for the first time and I'm impressed

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!
