Clear up blemishes and unclog pores with The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution. This gentle yet effective exfoliating serum targets blackheads, acne, and uneven texture while soothing the skin. Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin types.
Say goodbye to blemishes and stubborn clogged pores with The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution 30ml. A cult-favorite among skincare lovers, this lightweight serum is specifically designed to unclog pores, reduce acne, and improve skin clarity without over-drying or irritating the skin.
Ideal for oily, acne-prone, or combination skin types, the formula uses the power of salicylic acid—a beta hydroxy acid (BHA)—to gently exfoliate inside the pores where blemishes begin. Whether you’re dealing with blackheads, whiteheads, or uneven skin texture, this solution is your skin’s daily defender.
Salicylic Acid is a BHA (beta hydroxy acid) that is oil-soluble, meaning it can penetrate deep into the pores to dissolve excess sebum and dead skin cells. The Ordinary’s Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is a targeted treatment serum that helps reduce breakouts and promotes clearer, smoother skin over time.
Unlike harsh acne treatments, this formula is water-based and gentle enough for daily use, especially when introduced gradually into your routine.
The Ordinary has formulated this solution to offer powerful exfoliating and pore-clearing action while remaining lightweight and non-irritating. It works below the skin surface, cleaning out impurities that cause pimples, blackheads, and breakouts.
Its transparent, water-like texture absorbs quickly without residue, making it ideal under makeup or in your nighttime routine. In addition to reducing acne, this solution also refines skin texture, minimizes redness, and helps fade post-acne marks.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
