The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is a powerful water-based serum designed to treat acne and improve the appearance of skin texture. With a 2% concentration of salicylic acid, this formula works by exfoliating the skin's surface, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells, and penetrating deep into the pores to clear up acne blemishes. Its lipophilic (oil-soluble) nature allows it to effectively target congestion and comedones, resulting in clearer, smoother-looking skin. This serum not only helps reduce visible redness but also encourages the skin's natural healing process. Suitable for mild to moderate acne, it can be used by teenagers and adults alike. Its multi-functional approach helps control acne breakouts and provides a more balanced complexion, leaving the skin feeling healthier. Start with one application daily to assess skin tolerance and gradually increase to two or three applications if necessary.
