Combat acne with the Salicylic Acid 2% Solution from The Ordinary; a clarifying, blemish-fighting solution that gently sheds dead cells from the skin’s surface and calm redness and inflammation.
Enriched with exfoliant Salicylic Acid, the solution penetrates the interior walls of congested pores to unclog and clear impurities, increases circulation and helps clear excess sebum and regulate production. Key ingredient Witch Hazel is a natural astringent and anti-inflammatory that aids in killing acne-causing bacteria and effectively protects the skin from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors such as smoke, pollution and UV light.
Free from alcohol, oil, silicone, nuts, gluten and soy.

How to conduct an at-home patch test: Patch tests are an easy way to help predict if you will have a negative initial reaction to a new product. It is recommended to perform a patch test before incorporating a new product into your routine. We have outlined a general method for conducting your own patch test. - Apply a small amount of the product onto a clean area of skin on the upper forearm. - Keep the area dry, preferably covered with a bandage. - After 24 hours, uncover the area and rinse. - If any redness, burning, itching, blistering or irritation is observed at any time throughout the test, do not use the product. Please note that the patch test is only for determining initial irritation reactions to products and does not guarantee similar results when applied to other areas of the body (including the face) or after continuous use. It does not account for underlying conditions and should not be used for the diagnosis of hypersensitivity or allergic contact dermatitis. If you are concerned about starting a new product, please consult a dermatologist prior to use.

Love this
I found this to be great at stopping spots in their tracks, it dries them out and stops the redness. I also use it on my nose to shrink pores and help to get rid of blackheads.

The ordinary
I’ve been using this for about 3 weeks now along side with the ordinary Niacinamide 10% + zinc 1% and ALPHAH clear skin daily hydrate with eucalyptus and can honestly say these products have done wonders for my skin I have super oily skin and using these has definitely helped I barley have any oil anymore, I also have acne and acne scarring, I’ve had acne for years and it cleared up as I got older but then I started taking the contraceptive pill and it made my shoulders, back and face break out worse than when it was just teenage spots I use these products for this aswell and it is a massive help it’s cleared my shoulders and back up and face and and helps prevent future spots I still get them but not half as bad, remember nothing works instantly but after 3 weeks I’ve noticed a massive difference I feel a lot more confident with my skin!

burn allert!
I have been using this to calm down some pimples and congested areas of my face. Overall I haven't seen a major difference. This is not really a complaint about this product but more of a warning...I have chemical burns on two areas of my forehead, where I had pimples and was hoping that this product would reduce it's appearance. be careful ladies and gents :)

Burnt and scars
I was so excited about trying this product after reading many positive reviews. I did a patch test as I always do, all ok after doing one 3 times. I washed my face (water only) put one “dot” (thin layer) on a spot on my chin and a few other places on my face. I went to bed, and woke up with burns on my face! I had to go to the Drs as they were so painful. I ended up with blisters and scans all over my face. I now have 2 nasty scars on my chin and cheek! Absolutely distressed with the results. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! Worst part is I only had 3 spots!

Chemical burn! Please be careful!
I suffer from acne on my chin and have been looking for a product that will help. I recently came across products that use salicylic acid as a component, and I have had good results. When I came across The Ordinary’s range and read plenty of positive reviews regarding their salicylic acid solution.. I thought I’d give it a go. I did a patch test to be cautious as I didn’t want anything like this to happen, which went perfectly fine. The following evening I used a small amount of it on my chin and woke up the next morning horrified with the results! I had painful blisters all over my chin, it was swollen and very painful to touch. Not only am I upset about my acne, I now have painful blistering and burns over my chin which has made me unable to leave the house without feeling self conscious. This is the first time I have ever reviewed a product, but I feel as if I needed to share my experience to raise awareness about this acid and how it can affect certain skin types.

Great
I have been using this twice a day for three weeks and definitely see a difference. I use in the morning after washing my fave and before moisturiser and again in the evening. I have always suffered with mild acne around my chin and this has improved it more than anything i have ever tried before and at the age of 31 i have tried a lot! Will be buying the whole ordinary range as its incredible value for money and i would definitely put it up there with the likes of clinique!

Really good
I'm still in the middle of actually trying and seeing difference, but the application is smooth and it has reduced the pigmentation and acne in just a week! Amazing! Will definitely recommend it to friends.

Both my daughter and I have noticed an improvement. Her teenage skin and my menopausal skin are both clearer!
