The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, Blemish-Fighting Serum for Blemish-Prone Skin, 30ml

Fantastic product if you're looking for a simple yet effective salicylic acid to help unclog pores, fight spots and keep oily skin at bay. I also bought this for a slightly different reason – to use on the tops of my arms for keratosis pilaris. Being disabled, regularly using a body wash or cleanser that needs washing off isn't always the most practical option for me, so after doing some research into ingredients that can help with KP, I decided to give this a try as a simple leave-on alternative. I'll admit I haven't been as consistent with it as I probably should have been, so I can't claim miraculous results, but I have noticed a small improvement. That's made me quite optimistic that with more regular use I'll see an even bigger difference. I've found it gentle enough that it hasn't caused me any irritation, a little goes a long way, and the price is incredibly reasonable for an effective skincare ingredient. It's not a luxurious product – you don't get fancy scents or textures that make you feel like you're having a full-blown spa facial – but that's not really what The Ordinary is about. If you want something practical, affordable and effective that simply gets on with the job, I'd definitely recommend it.

Not sure why the negative reviews. I guess this product is not suitable for everyone. I used it every single day without any irritation for a whole month. No pimples or rashes. I am using 4 drops (nose, cheeks, and chin) so I think that’s a lot considering the recommended dosage is every few days. I will continue to use it because it helped control acne 100%. Due to how stressful my job is, I normally get spots every now and then. I’ve not seen a single spot since using it so it must be doing something for me. For the price, I would recommend giving it a try. I think this is the only useful product from their brand (I’ve tried quite a few different ones from ordinary).

and reducing dark spots. It absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a greasy residue, and leaves skin looking noticeably smoother and clearer within days of consistent use. A staple product that is well worth every penny!

As a man, I like to keep my skincare routine pretty simple , usually just a cleanser, niacinamide and moisturiser. I started adding The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution into my evening routine and have been really impressed with it. I only use it around twice a week in the evening rather than going overboard with it. It’s easy to think that using it more often will give better results, but I found that keeping it limited helps avoid unnecessary dryness or irritation. I’d definitely recommend doing a patch test before using it properly, especially if you already use other active skincare products. It’s also worth checking that it’s compatible with the other products in your routine rather than just layering everything together. Overall, a good addition to a straightforward routine and a little goes a long way. I’d recommend it, particularly if you’re looking for something simple to add to an evening routine without making your skincare unnecessarily complicated. Great for tightening those pores or helping with blackheads. Or anyone who maybe trains in the gym and sweats a lot, helps keeps spots away and you looking as pretty as always.

I love this product nothing compares to its effectiveness and price Great value for money but more than anything great for sensitive skin types too

The best solution for acne . One day and its gone .

I will always swear by this product. I broke out in what looked like acne out of nowhere, I remembered I used this product a few years ago and rated it, so thought I’d try it again, iv only put it on once over night so far and the difference it has done to the spots is insane! I feel like a couple more uses and they’ll be gone! It might not work for everybody but it worked for me a few years ago and is working for me right now. Love it and recommend it 100%

Buy this regularly and this was the cheapest online

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.

Ive been extremely impressed with The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution. I originally bought it to help with clogged pores and blackheads, particularly around my nose and in the corners of my nose. The difference has been remarkable. My pores look much cleaner, and I now rarely see a visible blackhead. What surprised me most was the improvement in the overall texture and smoothness of my skin. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) and is oil-soluble, which allows it to penetrate into the pore and help loosen excess sebum and dead skin cells. It also acts as a chemical exfoliant, helping break down the bonds between dead skin cells at the surface so they can shed more effectively. That exfoliation seems to be making a noticeable cosmetic difference for me. With less buildup of dead skin cells, the surface of my skin feels smoother and more refined, and because the surface is more even, it reflects light more uniformly. The result is a naturally healthier, clearer, glowing appearance rather than dull or rough-looking skin. I started using it once daily and gradually increased to twice daily. My skin has tolerated it exceptionally well with no noticeable dryness, redness, peeling, or irritation. For me, this has been much more than a blackhead treatment. It’s noticeably improved the clarity, texture, smoothness, and overall appearance of my skin. Definitely a product I plan to continue using. 5 stars. Buy it ! It’s a great price! Much better then proactive which I have Used for over 20 years. I’m like everyone else….I wish I found this little gem sooner. Even the fine lines have been reduced, my skin is never look so good and I’m 53 years old.

Acheté pour mon fils de 13 ans à la peau acneique et grasse, après un mois d’utilisation la transformation est folle! Je n’en reviens pas! Il n’a plus de boutons, quelques points noir encore mais rien comparé au mois dernier! Et Il régule bien sa peau grasse. Il l’utilise dans sa routine du soir ( il a une autre routine le matin très efficace aussi mais qui ne nécessite pas de mettre de la crème solaire toute la journée par rapport aux composants, ce qui n’est pas pratique quand on est collégien). Mon fils a la peau sensible, à la première utilisation il a eu une petite sensation de picotements, mais pas de réaction. Produit très abordable et économique car il a besoin de très peu de gouttes. Je recommande!

mi ha svoltato la vita, grandioso per chi ha i pori molto dilatati, mi ha migliorato la pelle in due settimane. illumina in modo fantastico la pelle, consigliatissimo

Product is perfect, I gave 1 star for the delivery, he did not call before delivery to confirm my presense at home , he left the package at the door unattended, and could have been easily stolen :(
