The Ordinary AHA 30% BHA 2% Peeling Solution, First Night

I’m really obsessed with The Ordinary skin care products right now. I’ve always wanted to try them, but I didn’t until now. I’m happy that I gave them a chance. Here’s another one that I wanted to try. It’s the AHA 30% + BHA 2% 10-Minute Exfoliatin Facial Peel. So what is it?

• For blemishes, fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and uneven texture
• Exfolating solution to help fight visible blemishes
• Improve skin texture and radiance
• Glycolic acid exfoliates outer layers of the skin
• Lactic acid exfolaites outer layers of the skin
• Salicylic acid exfoliates inside the pores to reduce congestion

How to Use:

2. Leave on for 10 minutes, rinse with lukewarm water

Ingredients:

I used The Ordinary AHA 30% BHA 2% Peeling Solution only once. This week, I’m going to use it twice. This is a 10 minute exfoliating facial peel. It has a combination of 30% AHA and 2% BHA. It’s supposed to help with blemishes and make the skin look smoother in texture for a more radiant look. That’s what it says anyways. What I did was dispense some product onto my fingertips and smoothed it all over my face (dry skin). Left the product on for 10 minutes and rinsed it off. I didn’t feel my skin tingle at all. This is a higher percentage of glycolic acid that I’m using too. I’ve used glycolic acid that’s below 30% (10%), and my skin tingled/burned. After using the facial peel, I didn’t notice any changes in my skin afterwards. It says to use twice a week. No more than that. Let’s see how this goes! I’m excited!

Have you used The Ordinary AHA 30% BHA 2% Peeling Solution before? Share your experience!

The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, Day 3

It’s Day 3 of The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. I started to get nasty clogged pores. I had to stop using it. BLEH! It was going sooo well! I think the silicones in this skin care product got to me. If you have acne, be aware that this product can make you break out. It may or may not work for you. Try it yourself. It just didn’t work for me by the 3rd day. I really wanted it to work but meh. I’m over it. I’m going back to Cos de BAHA Azelaic Acid 10 Serum.
