The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid Anhydrous Solution is a targeted skincare product designed to address various skin concerns, especially for those with oily or acne-prone skin. Here’s a breakdown of its benefits, how to use it, and some helpful tips:

Benefits

• Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), penetrates deep into the pores, effectively exfoliating the skin by dissolving dead skin cells, dirt, and excess oil. This can help reduce breakouts and promote smoother skin.
• The solution assists in clearing clogged pores, which are often a precursor to acne and other skin issues.
• It can smooth textural irregularities on the skin, making it a valuable option for those with uneven skin texture.
• The anti-inflammatory properties of salicylic acid aid in reducing erythema and evening out skin tone.
• The addition of squalane and polyglycerides in the formula ensures that the product doesn’t overly dry the skin, making it suitable for a range of skin types.

How to Use

1. Start with dry, clear epidermis. Ensure that your face and neck are cleansed and toned thoroughly.
2. Spoon a tiny bit of the serum over your neck and face.
3. Apply The Ordinary Salicylic Acid Anhydrous Solution to your skin and massage it in gently until it absorbs completely.
4. Depending on the demands and tolerance of your skin, you can apply the serum once or twice a day.

Additional Tips

• To avoid any potential irritation, start with a small amount of the serum and increase the quantity as needed.
• Since salicylic acid can be drying for some individuals, it’s important to follow up with a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
• If your skin is sensitive, you should start using it once a week and increase the frequency gradually as your skin becomes used to it.
• To avoid aggravating the skin more, do not apply the serum on broken or irritated areas.
