If there's one thing you need to know about us at heatworld it's that we love a cheap, easy, beauty hack and the latest one has cleared someone's acne.

TikTok user, Kaelyn White, has gone viral - seriously, her video has been viewed over 3 million times - after she revealed the incredible results of using a peeling solution that's completely cleared her breakouts.

The teenager shared a clip of herself applying The Ordinary's AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution that she bought for less than $10 and claims it left her with clear skin.

Cheap and it actually works? We need it now.

In another TikTok clip Kaelyn revealed that she uses the peeling solution once or twice a week for a maximum time on 10 minutes and saw results after two weeks of using it.

This peeling solution exfoliates your skin and while the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) leaves your skin with a brighter and more even appearance, the beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) deeply exfoliate your skin leaving your pores congestion free.

It also helps fight against blemishes, boosts radiance, improves the appearance of your skin's texture and reduces fine lines.

Not only is it alcohol-free, nut-free, gluten-free, soy-free and vegan friendly but it costs less than £7 too.

Since the TikTok video was released at the beginning of 2020, The Ordinary sold hundreds of thousands of the bottles of red magic. So much so, that the Peeling Solution has been out of stock everywhere in the UK for months.

Until now! You can finally treat yourself to some stellar exfoliation at a v. affordable price.. But, be quick and don't dilly dally!
