The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results... just like the Salicylic Acid 2% Masque (50ml), expertly formulated to work wonders for congested and lacklustre skin.
An excellent companion for oily, blemish-prone skin types, the Salicylic Acid 2% Masque (50ml) is here to deliver a swift goodbye to unwelcome vi-zits.
Its namesake, salicylic acid, is the star of the show; a hardworking BHA that exfoliates away dead cells both on the skin's surface and within pores, revealing brighter and clearer skin beneath. This multi-talented ingredient also helps to reduce the look of blemishes, alongside helping to prevent future ones from forming. Given away by the mask's jet-black hue, the formula also contains charcoal which works alongside Amazonian clays to deeply cleanse the complexion of impurities and grime. Clearer, smoother, more radiant skin, here we come...
Aqua (Water), Kaolin, Squalane, Glycerin, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Silica Cetyl Silylate, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Polyacrylate, Pentylene Glycol, Charcoal Powder, 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol, Sclerotium Gum, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Phytic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Use once or twice a week after cleansing on dry skin. Apply evenly on your face, then leave for 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do not use on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes both during application and rinse off.
Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

Great for decongesting skin
This is the 2nd time I have bought this product, goes on easily and very comfortable whilst on skin. Results are clearer more defined pores and less breakouts over time.

Does as stated - recommend
40F White with very fair skin, always burns Oily T-zone First time purchase and with *2 weekly usage I have noticed a difference. Less oily (esp. nose) T-zone and pores much less visible. Tiny blackheads are gone. I think this is a fantastic product, that gives the results it says it will at a very good price. I will continue to use this and will very likely re-purchase when it is gone. On a side note I used it on an area of my back where I get spots (keen triathlete, often sweating!) and it has cleared up all the spots.

Good results but drying
This mask definitely helps to reduce pore size, reduce oil and extract yucky stuff out of blemishes. Whilst skin looks brighter after use it hasn’t really faded any dark spots as of yet but perhaps I need to use it more. It is quite drying so you need a good moisturiser following its use.

Send best mask there is
I use this right after using the AHA mask from Ordinary. They work so perfectly together! At 35, I feel like I would "show" my age without these masks.
