The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a 10-minute exfoliating treatment with 30% Alpha Hydroxy 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 skin's uppermost surface for a brighter, more even appearance. Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) also exfoliate the skin with prolonged action to help clear pore congestion. This 32% AHA/BHA combination solution provides 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 wrinkles with continued use. This formula contains a Tasmanian Peppercorn derivative studied to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This plant-derived derivative changes color depending on the season and this color variation may appear in the formula from time to time.
This formula is also combined with hyaluronic acid for comfort, vitamin B5 to aid healing, and black carrot as an antioxidant. The pH of this formula is approximately 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 when formulating acids. 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 counterintuitively 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 Cosmeticary.com 's order history. If the reviews are not associated with existing orders (e.g., coming directly from Cosmeticary.com websites), Cosmeticary.com may request manual verification by submitting proof of orders.
A verified buyer badge is added once the review has been verified by Judge.me. The badge can be translated and customized, but cannot be added by Cosmeticary.com itself.
Ask for an opinion
Cosmeticary.com sends a review request via email to customers based on settings and conditions. Automatic reminders or web push notifications can be enabled. Cosmeticary.com can also request a review from past customers, not send an automatic review request, or request/remind individual users. Cosmeticary.com may respond privately or publicly to any review.
Give an opinion
The customer can leave a review in the email review form 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 (traceable) purchase history ("web reviews"). These can be disabled but will never receive a "Verified Buyer" badge if the reviewer's email is not part of the store's customer list. Reviews provided by the same email will have the same display name.
Reviews 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 only used for verification purposes.
Change the policy
Reviews may be edited to address typos, style/formatting issues, or minor review information. However, star ratings cannot be changed to maintain the integrity of reviews on Judge.me. After an edit, a notification email is sent to the reviewer informing them of any changes. The reviewer can reject any edit by clicking within the notification email. The Judge.me team is notified of all review edits and review rejections.
Star Calculation Method
