General Rule of Thumb for Application Order:

Water-based serums
Anhydrous solutions and oil formulations
Creams and suspensions

Important Notes:

If you have more than one water-based serum, apply based on the priority of your concerns (the product targeting the most critical concern should go first). It’s recommended to apply eye serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
Limit your regimen to a maximum of three serum formulations.
Always apply sunscreen when exposed to the sun!

NOTE: Anyone who has a habit of popping their pimples, make sure you have none freshly popped pimples because let me tell you IT BURNS BURNS. Lasted for like 30 seconds but probably the most painful 30 seconds I experienced

I love how in depth and professional your tutorials are. You leave no room for ambiguity and that's really admirable. I see this channel blowing up real soon. 👑

[christysteadman]

You have a gift for fashioning your tutorials in your ability to perfectly structure, simplify and (though seemingly less important but a major factor in someone’s watchability) - your voice and the way it isn’t too loud nor too soft. Your balance is refreshing and will clearly bring you many gifts in this life. Thank you!

I legit have the peeling acid on my face right now as I’m watching this video thanks a lot and I can see some results in my skin!!

[emm_jayy-op]

as someone who is very VERY new to using skin care products and bought a bunch of the ordinary products without prior knowledge, your account is literal gold!!! thank you very much!!

[ajf]

Thank you. Im a guy who wanted to be more serious about my skincare, i have bad acne and im honestly sick of it, so i was recommended some ordinary skincare products and this one was one of them along with the hyaluronic acid as well. This one was a little daunting at first, thought it would burn but it didnt at all especially after i patched tested myself. I am actually enjoying caring for my skin and appreciate your tutorial.

This is by far THE BEST video I have watched on how to apply The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution. It's very simple to follow and you hit all the bullet points. All the questions I have about the before and after in using this product have been answered. Thank you so much!

[debrafrias]

This is the best video about the Ordinary’s products that I’ve seen so far... thank you so much!

[gepyalong]

Thank you for this video Melissa! Because of your videos, I purchased salicylic acid and niacinamide last week (I follow the instructions you gave-- patch test, every other day then move on to every day after a week or so, etc.) and the results have been so amazing! It works better than other products I've tried. Now I'm planning on buying this peeling solution next month so I'm trying to educate myself about the DOs and DONTs :) Thank you!

[tutifruti]

[yasminkhawam]

I’ve just found out about your channel and I’m soooo impressed omg.. you explain everything so well and I love the way you speak!! I ordered a peeling today and it should arrive in like 2 days and I’m so excited to use it omg. This was so helpful though so thank you!!

[denisa]

Wish I watched this before I piled on everything on my face during the same routine, burnt my skin and now I’m peeling like a lizard 🤦🏻‍♀️ this is so helpful! Now I know not to use it with the toner and niacinamide!

[accurry]

I just finished my peeling solution for the first time and came to find out what to put on after it and found this video! I wish I would have watched this first because I used WAY TOO MUCH on my face, I did do the patch test and had no reaction for 48 hours after the test and used it on my face tonight. It did sting a bit but nothing I couldn't tolerate and kept it on around 7 minutes. My face is so smooth and its covered in moisturizing cream for the night! Great, very informative video!

First video I found that explains the process clearly! Thank you young lady. This 65 year old mama is going to try the peel solution this weekend.
