The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution - 30ml

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is a water-based exfoliating serum formulated with an optimum concentration of salicylic acid to target blemish-prone and congested skin. This powerful beta hydroxy acid (BHA) penetrates deep into pores to remove dead skin cells and debris that can lead to breakouts, blackheads, and textural irregularities. Enhanced with Saccharide Isomerate, a hydrating ingredient that helps reduce the discomfort associated with direct acid use, this clarifying solution works to unclog pores, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and smooth uneven skin texture. The lightweight, water-based formula is suitable for oily and acne-prone skin types, including teenagers experiencing blemishes. With a pH of 3.20-4.00, this alcohol-free, oil-free, vegan, and cruelty-free solution delivers visible results while maintaining skin comfort. Regular use reveals clearer, brighter, and more refined skin with reduced congestion and improved overall texture.
