Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
So what has changed? A spokesperson for The Ordinary told R29: “We took some time away to perfect our formulation to ensure a pleasant experience for as many users as possible,” hinting that the new product might be a gentler version. “The reformulated Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is aimed towards blemish-prone skin,” confirms the brand. Like other exfoliating skincare acids, salicylic acid has the potential to irritate some skin types (especially when overused). The brand adds that getting the product just right contributed to the wait, and while it certainly took a long time, a new, improved product is sure to be welcomed.
Key Features:
- Blemish-Targeting: Directly targets impurities and blemishes, reducing their appearance and preventing future breakouts.
- Congestion Clearing: Helps to dissolve skin congestion and clogged pores for a smoother, clearer complexion.
- Oil Control: Formulated for oily skin, it works to regulate sebum production, minimizing shine and maintaining a mattified look.
- Water-Based Serum: A light, water-based solution that absorbs quickly, leaving no greasy residue behind.
How is The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution different from the Salicylic Acid Anhydrous Solution?
You might wonder how the OG Salicylic Acid Solution compares to the Salicylic Acid Anhydrous Solution, which launched last year. The biggest difference is the texture: The Anhydrous Solution is suspended in squalane, which feels a bit like an oil on the skin. While it’s very moisturizing and non-comedogenic (less likely to clog pores), it does feel heavier than the Salicylic Acid Solution, which typically absorbs much faster. If you don’t like the feeling of products on your skin, the original salicylic acid product is probably better suited to you. Though, if your skin becomes dry easily, then the Anhydrous Solution could be your best bet.
How to Use:
To achieve the best results from The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, follow these simple steps:
- Cleanse your skin thoroughly before applying the serum.
- Dispense a small amount onto the fingertips or a cotton pad.
- Apply the solution directly to the areas of concern. Do not rinse off.
- Follow with a moisturizer or your regular skincare routine.
- Use in the evening, ideally before bed, for maximum effectiveness.
