The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution 15ml
Featuring salicylic acid (a beta hydroxyl acid that offers exquisite exfoliation) and witch hazel, this blemish-battling solution penetrates the interior walls of pores to unclog and clear impurities, delivering visibly improved skin clarity with continued use. Powerful and concentrated, this treatment offers extraordinary results.
Offering powerful, concentrated treatment – at a surprisingly tiny price – The Ordinary’s Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is ideal for oily, congested skin. Supercharged with salicylic acid, the pH-balanced formula penetrates the interior walls of pores to unclog and eliminate blemish-causing impurities and balance excess sebum production. The welcome addition of witch hazel helps to reduce redness and alleviate discomfort, leaving your complexion clearer and calmer, with a more even and refined texture.
Use in the morning and evening. Apply a small dot directly on spots for visible improvement or apply a small amount over the face to maintain visible clarity with continued use. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes. Do not rinse off. Continue with additional skin treatments as needed. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Please see below for an in-depth guide to patch testing. Keep out of reach of children.
(Sunburn Alert: This product contains a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.)
How to conduct an at-home patch test:
Patch tests are an easy way to help predict if you will have a negative initial reaction to a new product. It is recommended to perform a patch test before incorporating a new product into your routine. We have outlined a general method for conducting your own patch test.
- Apply a small amount of the product onto a clean area of skin on the upper forearm.
- Keep the area dry, preferably covered with a bandage.
- After 24 hours, uncover the area and rinse.
- If any redness, burning, itching, blistering or irritation is observed at any time throughout the test, do not use the product.
Please note that the patch test is only for determining initial irritation reactions to products and does not guarantee similar results when applied to other areas of the body (including the face) or after continuous use. It does not account for underlying conditions and should not be used for the diagnosis of hypersensitivity or allergic contact dermatitis. If you are concerned about starting a new product, please consult a dermatologist prior to use.

Improved my breakouts
This really improved my break outs and is really good value. I have now moved on from the ordinary to high end skincare but it is great if you're starting out and trying to find out what works for you and your skin without breaking the bank!

No effect on blackheads.
I have blackheads on my nose due to enlarge pores and oily skin. My skin felt slightly tight and smooth after application but blackheads persisted.

Meh others are better
No noticeable difference to my blackheads or sebaceous filaments I got results with Paula's choice 2% BHA liquid exfoliant but it is pricey so this one is worth a go if you're on a budget
