The Ordinary: Salicylic Acid 2% Solution

This water-based serum, which has a 2% concentration of salicylic acid, exfoliates the skin on the surface to promote the natural shedding of dead skin cells. Additionally, it is lipophilic, or oil-soluble, which enables it to enter pores and regulate acne lesions. The multipurpose nature of the composition helps minimize the appearance of comedones and apparent redness while also unclogging pores. This method clears up acne, promotes skin healing, and leaves skin appearing smoother and more radiant. Adolescents with mild to moderate acne can use this product.
