The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution (30 ml / 1 fl oz)

Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Blemish-Prone Skin and Uneven Texture

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution is a unique, oil-based exfoliating serum formulated to gently target clogged pores, breakouts, and uneven texture. Unlike traditional water-based acid serums, this formula uses squalane to deliver 2% salicylic acid in a slower-release system, helping to minimize irritation while keeping skin comfortably hydrated. Ideal for those with blemish-prone, oily, or combination skin.

Key Benefits

• Exfoliates inside the pores to help clear congestion and reduce breakouts

• Smooths rough texture and helps refine skin clarity

• Minimizes the appearance of blackheads and enlarged pores

• Hydrates and soothes with a squalane-rich base

• Ideal for beginners or sensitive skin new to BHA

Key Ingredients

• Salicylic Acid (2%) – A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that deeply exfoliates within the pores to help prevent and reduce blemishes

• Squalane – A skin-identical emollient that hydrates, calms, and supports barrier function

• 4‑t‑Butylcyclohexanol – Helps soothe and reduce the potential for irritation

How to Use
Apply a small amount in the evening to clean, dry skin. Use as a spot treatment or across the face, avoiding the eye area. Start with a few times per week, gradually increasing if well-tolerated. Always use SPF during the day when using acids.
