The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution Face serum 30ml

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid Anhydrous Face Serum is a targeted skincare product formulated to address concerns related to acne, congestion, and uneven skin texture. As a part of The Ordinary's skincare lineup, this serum focuses on providing a potent and concentrated solution for those dealing with oily, blemish-prone skin.

Key Ingredients:

• Salicylic Acid: This is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that exfoliates the skin by penetrating the pores and dissolving sebum and dead skin cells. It helps to unclog pores, reduce blackheads and whiteheads, and promote smoother skin texture.

Product Benefits:

1. Exfoliation: The salicylic acid in the serum helps to exfoliate the skin's surface and within the pores, leading to the removal of dead skin cells and excess sebum. This can result in clearer pores and a reduction in acne breakouts.
2. Unclogging Pores: The serum's ability to penetrate pores deeply can help to dislodge and dissolve the buildup of debris and sebum that can contribute to acne and congestion.
3. Smoothing Texture: Regular use of the serum can lead to a smoother skin texture by promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and encouraging cell turnover.
4. Reducing Acne: Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to calm redness and inflammation associated with acne, leading to a reduction in the appearance of active breakouts.
5. Oil Control: For those with oily skin, the serum's exfoliating and pore-clearing properties can contribute to a reduction in excess oil production over time.
6. Blackhead and Whitehead Reduction: The serum's targeted action on clogged pores can lead to a decrease in the formation of blackheads and whiteheads, which are often caused by the accumulation of dead skin cells and sebum.

Usage:

• The serum is typically recommended to be used in the evening.
• Start by applying a small amount to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area.
• If you are new to salicylic acid or have sensitive skin, it's advisable to perform a patch test before applying to the entire face.
• Follow up with a moisturizer to prevent dryness or irritation.
• Since salicylic acid can increase skin's sensitivity to the sun, it's important to use sunscreen during the day.
