The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution is a water-free product formulated to effectively decongest the skin, and impart a superficial exfoliating effect. This will result in a visible reduction of apparent pore size and textural irregularities, with improved skin tone homogeneity and clarity over time. It exfoliates the surface of skin, clearing away dead skin cells, and penetrates into the inside walls of pores to clear excess oils that can lead to clogging. It helps to reduce the appearance of blemishes and clarifies skin with continued use over time. Salicylic Acid also has anti-inflammatory properties, so helps to tone down redness and inflammation of acne. It can even help to regulate sebum production so skin becomes more balanced over time.

Important:

Always use a daytime SPF when using products with BHAs like Salicylic Acid.

Skin type:

All skin types, especially Oily or Combination.

Salicylic Acid (2%): This is the active ingredient. Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), which is oil-soluble. It’s known for its ability to exfoliate the skin, especially within the pores. This makes it effective in combating acne, blackheads, and blemishes. Additionally, it possesses anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe the skin and reduce redness.
