Love it
I love what this serum has done to my skin. It’s smoother, looks fresher throughout the day, and even looks more plump. I think it’s also evened out some of the skin tones and redness on my face but I’m not sure. It also helps to control my extremely oily skin, just a little. Less blotting throughout the day.Acne is less my issue, but I have closed comedomes and other weird textured bumps that I can’t figure out how to control. This has been helping, little by little. There is a purging phase; I started getting a few pimples after use, and again when I upped how many times a day I was using it, but they don’t last long. My skin is somewhat sensitive but it doesn’t burn. It does dry me out but follow up with a good hyaluronic moisturizer and you’re good to go. I will be purchasing more from this brand in the future.

10/10 Helps with Acne
I absolutely love this product!!Breakdown: I have sensitive skin that gets oily and still experience acne breakouts in my 20’s. I wash my face twice a day with CeraVe’s Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser and CeraVe moisturizer but noticed I was still getting a lot of blackheads. I thought this item might help decrease the amount of blackheads I have and it’s done so much more!!This serum gives my skin a nice glow and glass look to it without making it look oily. It stings a bit if I have an open pimple but I can feel it tightening my pores and it makes my skin feel so soft. I don’t normally write reviews but this is a game changer for my skincare routine. It literally tightens up preexisting pimples so they’re not so painful and has made a total difference in my battle with acne. Super affordable, definitely worth the price. I use it once a day before I go to bed while my skin gets used to it. I’ve been using it for less than a week so results will vary but this is definitely an essential for my routine.

Finally — A Budget-Friendly Acne Solution That Works!
I’ve tried so many acne spot treatments over the years, but The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution has quickly become one of my absolute favorites. It’s simple, affordable, and actually effective.Within just a few days of using it, I noticed that my breakouts were smaller, less inflamed, and healing much faster. It works great both as a spot treatment and applied lightly over problem areas to keep pores clear. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue.What I really appreciate is that it doesn’t irritate my skin like other harsher acne products. No burning, no peeling — just clean, calm skin. I pair it with a moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning, and it fits perfectly into my routine.If you struggle with clogged pores, blackheads, or stubborn breakouts, this little bottle is absolutely worth a try. It’s proof that you don’t have to spend a fortune for real results!

Fantastic quality and a great price
My skin looks great! I don’t try to pick at my skin now that this unclogs pores on my nose for me, so my skin is much happier now.

It helps me manage my acne
My skin type is textured combination+very oily, acne-prone (hormonal acne). I’ve been using this for about 2 weeks, and already I see a difference. My face is shinier, signiticantly less oily, and smoother. My acne, while not completely gone, has become a lot easier to manage and less aggressive. Keep in mind I haven’t made any changes to my habits, such as eating cleaner or being adequately hydrated. Combined with better habits, I think this product could do even more.More things to keep in mind:- I wash my face twice a day. If you don’t, don’t expect any skincare to help you.- I pair this with sunscreen and moisturizer. Salicylic acid is VERY drying. You can’t skip out on moisturizer!!!- When you first use this, it might tingle or burn. Not significantly. It didn’t make my face red or irriated, but there is a sensation when you first put it on. This lasted about a week for me until it stopped. I used to only put it on at night, but after my skin adjusted I started using twice a day.Overall, I’m happy with this product and I’m definitely going to keep it as a permanent addition to my skincare routine!

Affordable, Lightweight Salicylic Acid – Gentle but Limited Blackhead Effect
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid has a great texture and is super affordable. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and unscented, and it lasts a long time. I like that it feels very gentle on the skin—no tingling or irritation at all.It works well for minor whiteheads and general exfoliation. However, I haven’t noticed a significant effect on blackheads on my nose. I think I may need to combine it with another product for stronger results. Overall, it’s a solid, budget-friendly acid that’s gentle and easy to use, but it may not be enough for stubborn blackheads.⸻✅ Pros• Affordable and long-lasting• Lightweight, non-greasy, and unscented• Gentle with no tingling or irritation• Helps with minor whiteheads and general exfoliation❌ Cons• Limited effect on blackheads• May need additional products for stronger results

Works very well and affordable!
Been using for about 2 months now and after just 2-3 weeks I noticed results. I did some research and these were one of the 3 products/brands that were best for my skin type (combo) and my struggle with clogged pores in certain areas and have noticed a significant result regarding the clogged pores in just 2 weeks! It’s also very gentle on the skin, it doesn’t leave my skin oily like every other serums have! Very gentle, lightweight, not super thick and doesn’t leave skin oily the next day (as mentioned before) Definitely a 10/10! Will be using this as my new and only serum from now on!

Great price, lasts a while
This serum has really helped reduce my acne and makes my skin more glowy in the dry weather. Definitely notice when I forget to use it a few times in a row and my acne comes back. I have pretty sensitive skin but this doesn’t irritate after daily use. Typically use 2-3 times per week. A little goes a long way so one bottle lasts me about 3-4 months.

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2 % Serum funktioniert wirklich sehr gut. Ich bin erstaunt und hätte es mir schon viel eher gekauft wenn ich gewusst hätte wie gut es gegen Unreinheiten hilft. Nach der ersten Anwendung habe ich wirklich schon eine Veränderung gesehen. Ich habe es auch sofort sehr gut vertragen. Wärmstens kann ich es empfehlen. Der Versand war super und ohne Probleme.

Product is perfect, I gave 1 star for the delivery, he did not call before delivery to confirm my presense at home , he left the package at the door unattended, and could have been easily stolen 🙁

Realmente funciona, después de más de un mes de uso he notado mi piel sin imperfecciones y mucho más suave.Me funcionó mejor que productos de marcas mucho más caras como Avene y La Roche.

Un incontournable de la gamme quand on veut exfolier la peau notamment pour la réduction de sébum des pores de votre nez. Couplé à la Niancinamide + Zinc, et vous avez une petite routine skincare, il est possible de prendre du Rétinol également pour la stimulation du collagène qui rends votre peau plus élastique et donc rends les pores plus visibles
