The Ordinary – Salicylic Acid 2% Solution

Description

This targeted treatment is formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) specifically designed for acne-prone skin. Because it is lipophilic (oil-soluble), it penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve congestion and encourage the natural shedding of dead skin cells. This dual-action approach helps to clear active pimples and prevent blackheads from forming.

The updated formulation uses a high-purity powder form of Salicylic Acid with an enhanced texture that treats acne without excessively drying out the skin. It is clinically proven to start clearing acne within 24 hours and visibly reduces pore congestion by the third day of use, resulting in a clearer, smoother, and more refined complexion.

Ideal for teenagers and adults with mild to moderate acne, this serum also helps improve visible redness, allowing the skin to heal more effectively while maintaining a healthy appearance.

How to use:

1. Thoroughly cleanse your skin before application.
2. Apply a thin layer to the affected areas once daily to start, ensuring your skin tolerates the treatment well.
3. Gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed, or as directed by a professional.
4. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
5. Warning: Using other topical acne medications simultaneously may increase irritation. If irritation occurs, use only one treatment at a time.
6. Always apply sunscreen during the day, as BHA can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
