## Overview

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is a lightweight, water-based serum designed to exfoliate surface skin and penetrate pores to reduce blemishes and uneven texture. Featuring a squalane and polyglycerides base, it delivers salicylic acid gently over time, promoting clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin. Ideal for combination and blemish-prone skin types, this cruelty-free, vegan formula is a top-rated skincare essential for professionals seeking a polished, confident look.

## Description

Made with Salicylic acid 2% concentration, this water based serum offers surface level exfoliation, encouraging the natural shedding of dead skin. It's also lipophilic (oil-soluble) which means it can penetrate pores to control blemishes. The formula is made with an optimum concentration of salicylic acid which targets textural irregularities while removing dead skin cells that can clog pores. And because it promotes exfoliation, this solution helps visibly reduce congestion, giving way to brighter, clearer skin. Suitable for use by teenagers with blemish-prone skin.

Review: Good product - My skin is totally changed
Review: Highly effective, must buy if searching SA serum, love it - Highly effective, must buy if searching SA serum, love it, believe me the peoplewho have given one or two stars, are definitely not using it correctly else it is also very helpful for dry acne prone skin and for all if you want to improve texture, it smooths. I will not suggest it for very dry skin and yes if this is your first time starting this serum, you may break out in starting face for about 1 to 2 week but after all the impurities are removed then you will definitely see that what a beautiful and textured free skin you got, exactly like glass skin. I have even provided its ingredient list in the image for your convenience.
