Reviews of Salicylic Acid 2% by The Ordinary
“The salicylic Acid, hands down, is THE BEST! I use it all over my face after the glycolic toner in the evening, and my skin is blemish-free and smooth in texture. I have struggled with adult acne on my chin and parts of my cheeks. Since I have been using Salicylic Acid, I am blemish-free! Please, ladies, give this a try!” – meggieslashes.
“Game changer! I apply it on my spots as local treatment, and they are gone the day after” – carolinagsietra
“I will absolutely repurchase it. It dramatically reduces the acne size within just 2 days (I documented it in one of my Insta posts, too) and works excellent for blackheads. If u got oily, acne-prone skin, GET IT!” – thebeautywonk. 5/5 I love this!!
FAQS about Salicylic Acid 2%
Some of these questions have been answered by The Ordinary on Social Media.
1..So how has the new Salicylic Acid improved from the last formula? The new Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2%% Solution was formulated to offer the same benefits as its predecessor while curbing concerns of skin discomfort that can be associated with the use of SA. This was achieved by ensuring a focused delivery of SA to the outermost layer of the skin, where it is most beneficial, alongside the inclusion of a hydrating saccharide isomerate, offering appropriate barrier support.
2. What’s the difference between this Salicylic Acid one and the anhydrous solution? This one has a more instantaneous effect than the Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution which has a gentler approach to decongestion and exfoliation.
3. What is Salicylic Acid used for? Salicylic 2% Solution helps to exfoliate the skin and help decongest pores. We recommend using this in your PM routine on dry clean skin before moisturizer
