The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution is a 10-minute exfoliating facial. With 30% Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (Glycolic/ Lactic/ Tartaric/ Citric), 2% Beta Hydroxyl Acid (Salicylic Acid), Hyaluronic Acid Crosspolymer, Vitamin B5, Black Carrot & Tasmanian Pepperberry. Alpha hydroxyl acids (AHA) exfoliate the skin's topmost surface for a brighter & more even appearance. Beta hydroxyl acids (BHA) also exfoliate the skin with an extended function to help clear pore congestion. This combined 32% AHA/BHA solution offers deeper exfoliation to help fight visible blemishes & for enhanced skin radiance. The formula also improves the appearance of skin texture & reduces the look of fine lines with continued use. This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin & varies in colour seasonally & this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time. This formula is further supported with a crosspolymer form of hyaluronic acid for comfort, Vitamin B5 to assist healing & black carrot as an antioxidant. This p H of this formula is Approx. 3.6. Glycolic Acid, the primary AHA used in the formula, has a p Ka of 3.6 & p Ka is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. p Ka implies acid availability. When p Ka is close to p H, there is an ideal balance between salt & acidity, maximising effectiveness of the acid & reducing irritation. Higher p H numbers in such a case would increase salt which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic.

The Ordinary Colours Coverage Foundation are full-coverage formulations available in a comprehensive shade range. It contains higher pigment levels than the Serum Foundation but still offer a smooth finish that avoids the heavy makeup look that can make skin appear more aged. The texture is that of a lightweight, non-oily cream. The pigments used in these formulation is treated for a rich, highly-saturated effect.

This SPF15 protection is achieved without the use of chemical sunscreens & only through physical protection from Titanium Dioxide. in addition, no nano-particles are used to achieve this sun protection. These attributes are unique in foundations because it is exceptionally difficult to create a natural, lightweight look & consistent shades when using only non-nano forms of Titanium Dioxide for sun protection without any chemical sunscreen agents. The shades are divided into three categories: 1 for fair to lighter tones, 2 for medium tones; & 3 for darker tones. Each category is then classified further by a second digit from 0 to 3 to indicate depth within each category. Finally, a letter is added to the shade code to identify the undertone: P (Pink) & R (Red) indicate cool undertones for lighter & darker shades respectively; N indicates a Neutral tone; Y indicates a Yellow undertone. Each shade code has a descriptive name as well. For example, 1.2P is Light with Pink Undertones while 3.0Y is Medium Dark with Yellow Undertones. Three of the shades have an additional letter at the end: S indicates Silver highlights & G indicates Gold highlights; these shades use natural-looking & exceptionally fine dispersions of metallic effect pigments for added highlight. ...
