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).

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

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.

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%

Best one ever, I’m Using since 3yrs perfect for acne prone skin

Buy this regularly and this was the cheapest online

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!

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.

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 :(

The bottle, product, and dropper provides great value at the listed price. The salicylic acid itself is easy to apply and since you are only meant to use a few drops at a time, the bottle lasts a long time. This was a great addition to my skincare routine.
