The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution (30ml)

 What it is: The Ordinary's Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution is a water-free product designed to enhance skin exfoliation and aid in unclogging pores.

What it does:  It penetrates deep into your pores, exfoliating and unclogging to banish acne, blackheads, and congestion. Say hello to clearer, smoother skin with this powerful solution.  Direct acids, including alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), are well-known for their ability to facilitate the natural removal of dead skin cells. While AHAs work on promoting surface-level exfoliation, Salicylic Acid , a lipid-friendly BHA, excels at addressing oil accumulation within pores, which can contribute to blockages. The formulation of The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution is built on a Squalane base, aiming to mitigate potential skin irritation often associated with Salicylic Acid usage.

Main Ingredients

✔️ Salicylic Acid (2%): This is the key ingredient. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its exfoliating properties. It penetrates into the pores, dissolving sebum and dead skin cells, which helps unclog pores, reduce acne, and improve skin texture.

✔️ Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: This is a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizing agent derived from coconut oil. It helps to ensure the salicylic acid is effectively delivered to the skin.

✔️ Squalane: Squalane is a hydrating and emollient ingredient that helps prevent excessive drying or irritation from the salicylic acid.

These key ingredients work together to provide effective exfoliation and pore-clearing benefits while minimizing the risk of skin irritation.

How To Use

Apply a small amount  to the affected areas in the evening. Use it after cleansing and before other skincare products. Avoid using it on wet skin to minimize potential irritation. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce frequency or discontinue use. Always use sunscreen during the day when using salicylic acid products
