The Ordinary Direct Acids AHA 30% + BHA 2% Facial Peeling Solution - 30 ml

The Ordinary Direct Acids AHA 30% + BHA 2% Facial Peeling Solution  

30 ml 

An advanced peeling solution, the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution exfoliates multiple layers of skin to brighten and even skin tone. This at-home peel contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), and Tasmanian pepper extract to reduce the irritation often associated with fruit acid use. The formula smooths skin texture, unclogs pores, and improves uneven skin tone. The formula also contains cross-linked hyaluronic acid to enhance skincare benefits, pro-vitamin B5 to enrich moisture, and antioxidant black carrot.

Note: This formulation contains an extremely high concentration of unbuffered acids. We therefore only recommend using it if you are an experienced acid peel user and your skin is not sensitive.

The pH of this formula is approximately 3.6. Glycolic acid, the product's primary AHA, has a pKa of 3.6. The pKa of acids is the key factor in the composition of acid peels. pKa indicates the acid's availability. When the pKa is close to the pH, an ideal balance between salt and acid exists, maximizing the acid's effectiveness and reducing the risk of irritation.

Contraindications: Do not use with 100% Niacinamide Powder, peptides, or EUK 134. Sunburn warning: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), which may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and, in particular, the possibility of sunburn.
Use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and avoid sun exposure while using this product and for one week afterward. Use only as directed on intact skin.
