The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, Acne-Fighting Serum for Blemish-Prone Skin

I’ve been using this serum consistently, and it’s made a noticeable difference in my skin. It helps reduce breakouts, unclogs my pores, and keeps new blemishes from appearing. The formula is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling sticky or greasy. I also appreciate that it’s gentle enough to use regularly without causing excessive dryness when I follow up with a good moisturizer. My skin looks smoother, clearer, and more even than before. If you struggle with acne or clogged pores, this is definitely worth trying. Great quality at an affordable price!

I’m really impressed with this serum. The Ordinary consistently delivers effective skincare at a great value, and this Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is no exception. It has been a great addition to my skincare routine for helping with occasional breakouts and improving overall skin clarity. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy on the skin. It layers well with my other skincare products and works nicely both in the morning and evening routine. I also appreciate that it doesn’t have a strong fragrance. After using it consistently, I noticed my skin looked smoother, pores appeared less congested, and blemishes seemed to calm down faster. It helps keep my skin looking clearer and more balanced without over-drying when used as directed. A little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts quite a while. For anyone with blemish-prone or oily skin looking for an affordable and effective treatment, this is definitely worth trying. Highly recommend!

I’ve been using The Ordinary serum and I really like it. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin looking smoother and more hydrated. It’s affordable and works well for my skincare routine. Definitely worth trying!

This stuff actually works for being so inexpensive. I have oily yet sensitive skin and as long as I used this with a good lotion (I use CeraVe or Illiyoon) I never once got dry skin. It does burn more if your face isn't clean, for whatever reason. And continues to until you get used to it but the burn wasn't too bad or unbearable in any way but if it is for you, please discontinue using, wash your face, and use a good hydrating lotion.

I purchased this salicylic acid solution and it’s been a helpful addition to my skincare routine. It’s lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. It works well for targeting breakouts and helping keep pores clear. With consistent use, my skin looks smoother and less congested. The formula is simple and easy to apply, and a little goes a long way. It layers well with other skincare products without pilling. I also like that it’s fragrance-free and feels gentle compared to some other acne treatments. Overall, this is a great option if you’re looking for a straightforward product to help with breakouts. It’s easy to use, effective, and fits well into a regular routine.

I absolutely love adding the serum to my skin care regimen! After using this, I noticed much more calm breakouts! Although I feel like this product, sometimes leaves dryness or leads my forehead to peel. Despite the fact that I know acne medication’s are meant to dry acne or whitehead out. I feel like this product just left me overly dry and that’s just why I took one star away. If you are struggling with acne, this is a super affordable product that you will see more subtle results.

The Ordinary acne serum has been a great addition to my skincare routine. It feels lightweight on the skin and absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. After using it consistently, I’ve noticed fewer breakouts and my skin looks calmer and more even overall. It’s gentle enough for daily use but still effective at helping manage acne and congestion. For the price, it’s a really solid product that delivers noticeable results over time.

This review is after 4 uses so like to remind me to update I have large sebaceous filaments on my nose and chin, dryer skin, sensitive to fragrance, and I am black so our skin may not react the same to products. I don’t have acne but I heard a low concentration of this acid 2/3 times a week can penetrate deep into pores and dissolve sebum, reducing the bumpy and white look of the filaments. It’s supposed to take weeks to notice a difference, but proper moisturization I notice that I don’t feel the bumps and they look smaller with no more of the white coming to the surface. I did notice that one day I accidentally put it back to back and it stung on a specific area but not the whole face.

Muy contenta con este producto. Hay que utilizarlo con prudencia, porque si se abusa seca mucho la piel, pero aplicándolo uno o dos días a la semana, por la noche, es genial. Deja una piel muy bonita y ayuda a contralar imperfecciones y a mejorar la apariencia de los poros.

Après mes grossesses, ma peau me posait vraiment problème. Depuis que j'utilise ce produit The Ordinary, la différence est incroyable : ma peau est maintenant parfaite, comme avant. Je suis bluffée par les résultats. Un produit que je recommande vivement

This actually works- I am using in my night routine and I can see the visible smoothness on my face that everyone noticing I must recommend this to all I simply wash my face and apply this on dry skin - it clams my acne’s

Vedremo sul lungo termine ma già dai primissimi utilizzi lascia la pelle luminosa e più liscia. Lo metto su tutto il viso ad eccezione del contorno occhi, in particolare sul naso, ogni giorno e su pelle mista e non troppo delicata non sembra aggressivo. Mi sembra che i punti neri siano già un po' ridotti ma non so se sia un'impressione, lascia un finish lucido che vi deve piacere ma io trovo che dia un aspetto sano al viso

Very happy with product , light consitency, easy to absorb, working great on acne, amazing value for money. Reccomended!
