Use on my scalp
Does what it needs to and good price. Using on my scalp as an exfoliator before I shower to reduce psoriasis and would recommend.

Very effective
This effect will really be great. Before, I didn't take good care of my skin and stayed up late, so my face would always have acne and leave acne marks. However, this one is not irritating to use, and the acne is flat. The small closed mouth on my forehead is also cleaned and has a repair function. After using it for a few days, the effect is better and visible to the eyes

A relatively stimulating product
A relatively stimulating product, but the amazing effect is enough to make me ignore the stimulation and less beautiful skin feeling it brings. I can see the effect of oil control, acne removal and light printing on my face, and even the sunburn on my face has been reduced to a certain extent due to the combination of salicylic acid (more amazing than some whitening essence). In short, sensitive skin should be carefully inserted, and it will form a film after drying, which is easy to rub mud. Oily acne skin that is not too demanding for skin feeling and resistant is highly recommended

Unreal
I bought this because I’d been using adapalene for about ten months and regretted it. My skin has always had spots and congestion and when starting adapalene it purged and went back to being spotty so I was gutted. I’ve been trying to use fungal acne safe products and as the ordinary original salicylic acid serum isn’t fungal acne safe I thought I’d try this anhydrous one even though it’s got mixed reviews. This made my skin awful at first, small bumps, redness, cystic acne and makeup wouldn’t sit on top of it but I continued to use it and it’s been amazing. This is my fifth week and I’m almost halfway and my skin is so clear. It’s brighter and even toned and although I do still get the occasional spot, my skin is smooth. It’s very oily and at first when I was applying it after the Niacinamide it would pill unless I patted it on which would mean it sat on the skin and was awkward going to bed because the pillow would get oily but now I use with Hyaluronic acid and then this and it rubs in so well. I would really recommend and to anyone who’s started using it and it’s making it seem worse, I would wait the recommended six weeks to see some results.

The Ordinary makes great products at affordable prices. I rely on their skin oils and peel products for myself and the other members of my household. I purchased this product to supplement my skin routine which includes the Ordinary HA moisturizer.

Hormonal acne
Bought this to help with my hormonal acne. Haven’t seen any visible difference yet. Keep getting spots and they heal just as if I’m not using any product on it
