Pretty good
Feels pretty effective, don’t use it on open skin(like stated on the bottle-it’ll burn but I didn’t see it cause a scar) I used it kind of inconsistently and it still helped exfoliate well. It didn’t make my skin peel and it doesn’t dry and peel off. Consistency of the solution is slightly thicker than a serum. Helped brighten my skin a little, I would buy it again bc I think it was worth the money

The best chemical exfoliant and glow up.
I use this chemical exfoliant twice a week to slough off dead skin cells on my face and get that natural glow. I have been using this product by Ordinary for approximately two years and I notice a difference in the feel of my skin when I don't use it on a weekly basis. Yes, after cleansing your face it burns a little that is the sloughing off phase of the dead layers of skin or sun damaged areas. It is gooey to touch and a little cold. There is not much of a scent and it is red in color and once you apply it soaks right into your skin. The recommended time to leave on your skin is about 10 minutes but I leave it on until it's completely dry. Then once you rinse it off; you will notice a glow.

Dissolves your tret flakes
Wow, this stuff is magical. I've used all kinds of acids and layers of moisturizers over the years and always had tret flakes around my mouth / nose overnight. This keeps them at bay for days and leaves my skin smooth between applications. I've been using tret for over 10 years, so my skin is pretty durable. Start slow if you're gonna give this a try! I personally apply twice a week (Sunday & Wednesday) for about 5-6 minutes. I didn't see any difference between a 5-ish minute application vs the max 10 minutes, so I just do 5 minutes to be gentler on the skin and make my life easier. Also, your skin needs to be bone dry. Like, just wiping off water with a towel after a shower won't cut it. Let your skin air dry for at least 20 minutes before you attempt to apply this. If you're a long time tret user and you deal with persistent flaking that won't budge, give this a go! Just be careful, as with anything. If your skin is sensitive or your don't use actives, I would not use this - try something gentler.

The holy grail of skincare!
This little thing is my holy grail. My skin is extremely acne-prone and could generally be considered 'combination' (oily in the summer, super dry in the winter). My typical routine is The Ordinary glycolic acid toner, Good Molecules discoloration correcting serum, The Ordinary niacinamide 10% / zinc 1%, occasionally The Ordinary salicyic acid 2% during breakouts, and a good moisturizer (changes seasonally). This has been my daily routine for about 3 years, so my skin is accustomed to direct acids. This peeling solution stings a little bit for the first minute or so, and then doesn't feel like anything at all. Helps significantly with breakouts, acne scars, brightness, and skin texture. If you dermaplane, wait a day or two before you use this mask! From experience, if you dermaplane and use this mask afterward on the same day, it will sting/hurt and it will look like you have yourself a full-face chemical burn for a little while after you wash it off. Scent isn't strong but also isn't great (smells chemical-y). I use this 1-2x per week, follow with my typical routine, and one bottle lasts about 4-5 months! A little goes a long way.

Powerful Exfoliating Peel with Noticeable Results
First Impressions I had heard a lot about this peeling solution before trying it, and I knew going in that it was going to be strong. The packaging is simple and clinical, which is very on brand for The Ordinary, and the dark red liquid definitely makes an impression when you first apply it. Application & Experience The directions are clear about applying a thin layer for no more than 10 minutes, and I followed them exactly. Even so, I experienced redness and irritation immediately afterward, which is expected with an exfoliant this strong. It’s definitely not a product you can just throw into a casual routine without planning around it. Results Despite the initial irritation, the results the next day are worth it. My skin felt smoother, looked brighter, and had that “freshly resurfaced” glow that I was hoping for. This is the kind of product I now reserve for the night before an event or special outing — the recovery window is real, but so are the benefits. Final Thoughts This peel is not for beginners, and it requires careful use, but it delivers impressive results if you’re willing to deal with a little downtime. My advice is to patch test, use it sparingly, and always follow up with hydrating products and sunscreen. Overall, it’s a powerful treatment that earns its reputation — just be prepared for some temporary redness.

I love THE ORDINARY, you will too!
Every person who’s into self skincare should have this on their shelf. Easy to use, it’s a medium consistency (be careful around eyes, nose/mouth corners), it’s blood red , which makes it very good to see application. My daughter uses it, a male friend uses it, I use. It is a quality, affordable product by a company who has many outstanding products. Use sunscreen ALWAYS but especially after using this. I am in late 50’s, sun damage, and my facial skin has improved from using this, I get asked what do you use on your skin??? Tried and true product!

Brightest skin ever!
This is a MUST HAVE for aging skin. I'm in my mid-30s and this is my first experience with an exfoliating peel and I am floored. I use it once a week and it definitely stings for the first 30 seconds, but after that it calms down. My skin is so much brighter and healthier looking. I'd recommend only using 1x weekly, and maybe starting with 5-6 minutes for the first use before bumping up to 10 minutes on the second use onwards.

Highly recommend
I am pairing this product alongside the Ordinary package for acne prone skin. There is no dryness, itchiness, peeling happening whatsoever. The combination with the Ordinary acne prone products has left my skin feeling soft and has helped my acne inflammation go down.

So yes i could see the difference in first go..not that all my black pimple spots are gone but i had one active pimple which was quite large in size. In single application of this peel..it dried out completely. And when i woke up in the morning was completely shrunk . So it actually works on active pimples and if you urgently want to get rid of pimple. About acne marks i cannot comment right now but I feel it will work on them as well with use

This peeling solution is a powerhouse for anyone serious about skincare results. The AHA and BHA blend works deeply to exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reveal a noticeably smoother, brighter complexion after just a few uses. The tingling sensation lets you know it’s doing its job, and once rinsed off, the skin feels incredibly soft and refreshed without harsh dryness. The deep red formula might look intimidating, but with careful use (no more than twice a week), it delivers professional-level results from the comfort of home. It’s potent, effective, and perfect for reviving dull, uneven skin — a true glow-getter in a tiny bottle.

I was first thinking is it a fake as I had a product before and it was bit different. But I found out they just changed the formula a bit, it has different smell now. When I checked the box and bottle, everything is ok and seems genuine. And most importantly it works as should.

I wish I had bought this sooner in my life .. it works the first time you use it. It fades your hyperpigmantation, freckles, dead skin. Your face will be glowing , seriously like glass after 3 times of using it, I was pale white after 2 times even which is good considering I suffer from freckles and sundamage so this peel solution is the answer to your dull skin problems. ONLY LEAVE IT ON FOR 10 MINS, and hide your family will be scared as it looks like blood and it tingles in your skin doing its job. I LOVE THIS ORDINARY PRODUCT
