Bright, smooth, clearer skin that is refreshed and balanced. Perfect for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin, it helps to minimise redness, uneven tone, and other textural irregularities visibly. Formulated with glycerin and witch hazel extract, making it gentle and hydrating — everything that harsh treatments are not — to keep dryness and irritation at bay. Science-backed with a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula that can easily be incorporated into your skin-care routine as a spot treatment for blemishes or an allover exfoliant here for the long haul. It meets the highest clean beauty standards, such as being vegan, cruelty-free and free of silicones, alcohol, parabens and synthetic fragrance. The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution will help reduce the appearance of pores or blemishes and enhance the skin texture and tone, ultimately allowing you to achieve healthy and balanced glowing skin. Dealing with those annoying, occasional breakouts or struggling with persistent acne, either way, this multi-use serum is your answer to your favourite skin — clear and blemish-free.

FAQs

Is this serum suitable for everyday use?

We advise starting 2–3 times a week and increasing as the skin tolerates it. Always use sunscreen after and during the day.

Is The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution recommended for sensitive skin?

It is gentle, but it is always a good idea to patch-test any new product on the skin first just to be safe, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Is this compatible with other active ingredients?

Please do not use it in the same routine with potent acids or retinol to reduce irritation. It is best when used in conjunction with hydration.

How long does it take to get results?

Results are variable, but continued improvements in skin texture and clarity after 2–4 weeks can be noticed.
