The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is a lightweight, water based serum formulated to target acne and blemishes. Its 2% salicylic acid promotes surface exfoliation, encouraging the natural shedding of dead skin while visibly smoothing texture and decongesting pores. Because salicylic acid is oil soluble, it can penetrate pores to help reduce the appearance of acne.
