Common questions

Is The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution fragrance-free?

Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.

Does The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution safe for fungal acne?

It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: polysorbates (polysorbate 20). How much it matters depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
