The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% solution Face Serum 30ml

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is a skincare product specifically formulated to target acne, blemishes, and congestion on the skin. As part of The Ordinary's extensive line of straightforward and effective skincare solutions, this product focuses on providing a concentrated dose of salicylic acid to address common skin concerns.

Key Ingredient:

• Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid/BHA): Salicylic acid is a type of exfoliating ingredient that can penetrate into the pores, effectively dissolving excess oil, dead skin cells, and debris. It's known for its ability to help unclog pores, reduce acne, and improve skin texture.

Product Benefits:

1. Exfoliation: The 2% concentration of salicylic acid helps to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, promoting the removal of dead skin cells and allowing healthier skin cells to emerge.
2. Unclogging Pores: By penetrating deep into the pores, salicylic acid can help to dislodge and dissolve sebum and impurities that can lead to acne and congestion.
3. Acne Treatment: Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties that make it effective in treating acne. It can help reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne breakouts.
4. Blackhead and Whitehead Reduction: Regular use of the solution can aid in reducing the formation of blackheads and whiteheads by preventing the accumulation of sebum and dead skin cells within pores.
5. Smoothing Skin Texture: Through its exfoliating action, the solution can contribute to a smoother and more even skin texture over time

Usage:

• The solution is typically recommended for use once a day, ideally in the evening.
• After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount to the affected areas, avoiding the eye area.
• It's important to patch test the product if you have sensitive skin or are introducing salicylic acid into your routine for the first time.
• Follow with a moisturizer to maintain skin hydration.
• Because salicylic acid can increase skin's sensitivity to the sun, it's essential to use sunscreen during the day.
