## Description

desertcart.com: The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, Acne-Fighting Serum for Blemish-Prone Skin, 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 2) : Beauty & Personal Care

Review: Great stuff! - I purchased a cleanser, Niacinamide serum, Salicylic acid serum, and a moisturizer. After the third use you could really see a difference in my skin! My problematic areas are clearing up my pores are smaller, and the redness is almost gone. My skin feels cleaner and I have a nice natural glow. I paid under 40.00 for everything which is cheaper than drugstore prices (what I normally buy). It did seem to irritate my skin at first so I used the serums once a day. I am so happy with my purchase that I’m looking for more of their products to try!
Review: The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution - The Ordinary’s Salicylic Acid 2% Solution is a highly effective exfoliating treatment that’s especially good for acne-prone, congested, or oily skin. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates into pores to dissolve buildup, helping reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts over time. This formula feels lightweight and absorbs easily into the skin without leaving a heavy or greasy finish. With regular use, many users notice smoother texture, clearer pores, and fewer blemishes — especially in areas like the T-zone or chin where congestion often occurs. Because it’s a potent acid treatment, it’s normal for skin to feel a bit sensitive at first, especially if you’re new to chemical exfoliants. It’s best used a few times a week, not daily for most people, and always with sun protection during the day, since exfoliation increases UV sensitivity. Pros: ✔ Targets clogged pores and acne-causing buildup ✔ Lightweight and easily absorbed ✔ Improves texture and clarity over time ✔ Good value for a strong active ingredient Cons: ✖ Can be a bit drying or irritating if overused ✖ Not ideal for very sensitive skin without patch testing Overall: A solid and effective acne-fighting solution that delivers visible results when used properly. Great for oily/congested skin, and a staple in many skincare routines.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great as a skin exfoliant but not recommended for dry skin or to be used alone
*by M***B on January 17, 2026*

Great product. Very affordable. This is best for skin prone to acne. Be very careful to not dry out your skin as it is for increasing cell turnover and is drying. Best used first before a hydrating serum or use alone if you're having too much acne from oil/blemish clogging pores.
