The Ordinary Exfoliate & Hydrate Duo — AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution & Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (30 ml) — Exfoliating and Hyd

The Ordinary Exfoliate & Hydrate Duo pairs a clinical-strength AHA/BHA peeling solution with a multi-weight hyaluronic acid serum to resurface and deeply moisturize skin.

This two-piece set combines targeted chemical exfoliation and sustained hydration in travel-friendly 1 fl oz bottles. The AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is designed to remove dead surface cells and clear pores, while the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (formulated alongside ceramides) replenishes moisture and supports the skin’s barrier. Together they form a complementary routine: periodic resurfacing to improve texture and tone, and daily hydration to maintain softness and elasticity.

How should I use the peeling solution safely?

Use the AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution as an occasional treatment, not a daily exfoliant. Apply to clean, dry skin, leave on for up to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly; limit use to once or twice weekly in the evening and avoid mixing with other strong actives on the same night.

• Apply to dry face only; do not use on wet skin.
• Maximum leave-on time: 10 minutes; rinse with lukewarm water.
• Use at most 1–2 times per week; avoid combining with retinoids or vitamin C immediately.
• Always follow with sunscreen during the day—exfoliation increases sun sensitivity.

What benefits will the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 serum give my skin?

This hyaluronic acid serum delivers multi-weight HA molecules to attract and hold moisture at different skin layers, while provitamin B5 helps skin feel smoother and more flexible. Regular application supports skin plumpness and helps reduce the appearance of dehydration lines without adding oiliness.

• Multi-molecular hyaluronic acids hydrate both surface and deeper layers.
• Pro-vitamin B5 improves skin softness and resilience.
• Lightweight, non-greasy texture suits layered routines and makeup.
• Safe for daily morning and evening use under moisturizers.

Will this duo help with breakouts, dullness, and texture?

The peeling solution targets clogged pores and textured skin through potent AHA and BHA exfoliation, while the hyaluronic formula restores hydration after resurfacing. Together they can help reduce visible dullness and improve skin smoothness when used as directed, though results depend on individual skin type and consistent use.

• AHA ingredients promote shedding of dead cells to reveal brighter skin.
• BHA helps clear pore congestion and reduce blemish-prone areas.
• Hyaluronic Acid rehydrates and supports barrier repair post-exfoliation.
• Best combined with a gentle cleanser, sunscreen, and minimal conflicting actives.

Who is this for: This set suits people with oily, combination, or dehydrated skin who want stronger chemical exfoliation plus reliable hydration. It’s well suited to anyone battling dullness, uneven texture, or occasional blemishes while prioritizing a moisture-supporting follow-up step. Avoid if you have very sensitive, compromised, or actively irritated skin—consider patch testing and consult a dermatologist if you’re unsure about combining high-strength acids with your current routine.
