A Game-Changer for Acne-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 am happy with this serum🤗
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!

Great acne serum!
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.

Truly works, have bought it 6 times so far and will continue to buy it.
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.

My acne looks so much better!!
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.

Works wonders
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.

Affordable and effective skincare product
I’ve been using The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution and overall I like it. It’s a simple product with a lightweight texture that absorbs easily into the skin. I mainly use it when my skin feels congested, and it helps make my skin feel smoother. It can be drying if you use too much or too often, so I recommend starting slowly and using moisturizer. It’s not an overnight miracle, but with consistent use it can be a helpful addition to a skincare routine. Overall, it’s a good affordable product.

Genial
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.

Enfin une solution qui fonctionne vraiment
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

Buon prodotto per imperfezioni e pelle mista
Ho acquistato questo siero per aiutare a tenere sotto controllo imperfezioni e punti neri, e nel complesso mi è sembrato un buon prodotto. La texture è leggera, si assorbe abbastanza velocemente e non lascia la pelle appiccicosa. Usato con costanza, aiuta a rendere la pelle più pulita e uniforme, soprattutto nelle zone più soggette a impurità. Come tutti i prodotti a base di acido salicilico, va usato con attenzione per evitare di irritare la pelle. Nel complesso lo trovo efficace e adatto a chi cerca un trattamento mirato senza una sensazione pesante sulla pelle.

Unacceptable delivery agent behviour
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 :(

Affordable & Effective
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.
