The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a 10-minute exfoliating treatment with 30% Alpha Hydroxyl Acid (Glycolic / Lactic / Tartaric / Citric), 2% Beta Hydroxyl Acid (Salicylic Acid), Crosspolymer Acid, Vitamin B5, Black Carrot and Tasmanian Pepper.
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) exfoliate the highest surface of the skin for a brighter and more uniform appearance. Beta-hydroxyl acids (BHA) also exfoliate the skin with prolonged action to help clear pore congestion. This 32% AHA / BHA combined solution offers deeper exfoliation to help fight visible imperfections and improve skin radiance.
The formula also improves the appearance of skin texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines with continuous use. This formula contains a Tasmanian Pepper derivative studied to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative of plant origin changes colour according to the season and this colour variation may appear in the formula from time to time.
This formula is also combined with hyaluronic acid for comfort, vitamin B5 to help heal and black carrot as an antioxidant. The pH of this formula is about 3.6. Glycolic acid, the primary AHA used in the formula, has a pKa of 3.6 and pKa is the most important aspect to consider in acid formulation. When pKa is close to pH, there is an ideal balance between salt and acidity, maximizing the effectiveness of the acid. Higher pH levels in such a case would increase the salt which, in a counter-intuitive way, would make the formula irritating. Alcohol-free, oil-free, silicone-free, nut-free, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, not tested on animals.
Judge.me automatically verifies reviews based on the order history of Cosmeticary.com. If the notices are not associated with existing orders (e.g., directly from the websites Cosmeticary.com), Cosmeticary.com may request manual verification by submitting proof of orders.
A verified buyer badge is added once the review is verified by Judge.me. The badge can be translated and customized, but cannot be added by Cosmeticary.com even.
Ask for advice
Cosmeticary.com sends an email request for review to customers based on settings and conditions. Automatic reminders or web push notifications can be enabled. Cosmeticary.com may also request notification from past customers, not send automatic notification requests, or request/remind individual users. Cosmeticary.com can respond privately or publicly to any notice.
Give feedback
The customer can leave a review in the review form by e-mail or via the review widget. Product reviews are submitted via the review widget, while store reviews are submitted via the All Reviews page. Visitors can leave reviews without a (trackable) purchase history ("web reviews"). These can be disabled but will never receive a "Verified Buyer" badge if the reviewer's email is not on the store's customer list. Reviews provided by the same email will have the same display name.
Opinions are always voluntary. Cosmeticary.com does not pay their authors to write them.
The email address the customer provides will not be published and is used for verification purposes only.
Change the policy
Reviews can be edited to resolve typos, style/formatting issues, or minor review information. However, star ratings cannot be changed to maintain the integrity of reviews on Judge.me. After a change is made, an email notification is sent to the reviewer informing them of any changes. The reviewer can reject any changes by clicking in the notification email. The Judge.me team is notified of all review changes and review denials.
Method of calculating the stars
For the overall rating of the product, all the reviews given are taken into account to make the average.
