The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, Acne-Fighting Serum for Blemish-Prone Skin

Great product! Great for acne prone sensitive skin, I have medium tan skin that shows hyperpigmentation and acne scarring. So I started my skincare regimen with a lot of products from the ordinary line and I’m so glad I did. It’s great value for the ingredients list and strength, they deliver on helping the skin and skin barrier in multiple ways. The serum is easy to use, doesn’t have a scent, absorbs into the skin well with no stinging or itching. And as long as you stay consistent in your skincare you should see results in less than a month.

I was a little skeptical about The Ordinary at first because of how affordable their stuff is, but this salicylic acid serum genuinely surprised me. I’ve been dealing with clogged pores and the occasional breakout, especially around my T-zone, and this actually made a noticeable difference after just a few uses. The texture is lightweight and sinks in pretty fast not sticky or greasy at all. I use it mostly at night, a few times a week, and it helps keep my skin feeling smooth and clearer overall. It doesn’t dry me out like some other salicylic products I’ve tried, but I still follow it up with moisturizer just in case. What I really like is that it helps prevent breakouts more than just treating existing ones. I still get a pimple here and there, but it’s way less frequent, and they don’t last as long. Definitely a staple in my routine now.

I’ve been using this salicylic acid solution and it’s been really effective, especially for my acne-prone skin. With regular use, my skin feels so much smoother and more even. It’s one of those products that actually delivers consistent results, which is hard to find. Plus, it’s super affordable—definitely a great value for what you get.

I wanted to give this product a try simply because of the awesome reviews and the price was so reasonable. I have been using salicylic acid in my products for years, so this was just in place of my previous product. The first few days of using I did have a couple pimples pop up, nothing huge, and it was also when my cycle was going to start so it could have been because of that. I wanted to trust the process so I kept using it, and I’m SO glad I did!! I’ve been using it for about three weeks now and my skin has NEVER looked so good!! I’m so happy to feel so confident in my own skin without makeup or anything additional!

I’ve been using this for a few weeks now on my acne-prone skin and it’s really helped clear things up. It dries out pimples fast and even keeps new ones from showing up. It does tingle a bit when you first apply, but it settles quickly. Super affordable and honestly works better than some expensive stuff I’ve tried.

This product has helped me a lot. My skin had pimples, blackheads and kind of dull. Since I started using it, my face looks cleaner and the pimples have almost come off. It does not irritate or dry me out. I use it at night and it has worked very well for me. I really recommend it.

Works very well only taking a few days to notice a difference. Worth the price and doesn't dry out my skin. Very good for teens to use without getting a prescription from a Dr.

I've been using The Ordinary's salicylic acid, and it's truly effective! It helps clear my skin and reduces breakouts without drying it out. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my overall skin texture. A must-have for anyone struggling with acne!
