However, glycolic acid can be irritating (due to its small molecule size), and makes your skin more susceptible to sun damage. The moderate 7% concentration and addition of anti-inflammatory ingredients means it should be tolerated by most skin. Editor’s notes: As far as glycolic acid goes, this is a good formula.Other ingredients: Rose water, cornflower water, aloe, propanediol, glycerin, amino acids, ginseng, Tasmanian pepperberry.It can be used as often as once per day, ideally at nighttime. What it does: The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution is an exfoliating toner that removes dull, dead skin and improves texture, clarity and radiance.Sukari Babyfacial (reviewed here) is a comparable treatment, with 25% AHAs and 2% salicylic acid.

Rather than a weekly peel, I would argue that you’ll get better results from using a mild BHA on a more frequent basis, such as daily or every other day-especially if you deal with oily skin or breakouts. That said, you don’t really need AHAs if you have a BHA, since BHAs exfoliate both above and below the skin surface. I also like this peel because you’re getting both the superficial peeling benefits of the AHAs as well as the pore-cleaning benefits of the BHA (salicylic acid). Although it is highest in glycolic acid, which tends to be irritating, applying it just once or twice a week will minimize the risk. Editor’s notes: If you only want to exfoliate once or twice a week-and your skin is already used to acids-then this is a good option.Other ingredients: Aloe, carrot extract, propanediol, provitamin B5 (panthenol), hyaluronic acid, Tasmanian pepperberry.Key ingredients: 30% AHA blend (glycolic, lactic, tartaric and citric acids), 2% salicylic acid.Best for: Experienced users of acid exfoliants.It should be left on the skin for no more than 10 minutes, and can be used as often as twice per week. With continued use, it improves skin texture and reduces the look of fine lines. What it does: The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is an intensive exfoliating peel that brightens your skin, evens out tone, clears congested pores and fights acne.
