Pimples are not the best adornment for your face. Instead of masking imperfections with a thick layer of foundation, it is important to actively combat acne by eliminating it from your skin's surface. Your main ally in this battle will be the multifunctional serum Salicylic Acid 2% Solution from the professional Canadian brand The Ordinary.
With its ultra-light watery consistency and lack of a pronounced fragrance, the product spreads evenly across the skin or can be applied locally as inflammations appear. The primary active ingredient in this formula is 2% salicylic acid, which possesses powerful antibacterial, antiseptic, and antioxidant properties. Firstly, it gently exfoliates the dead skin layer of the epidermis, thereby evening out skin texture and lightening pigmentation. Secondly, the product eliminates bacteria on the surface of the skin and dries out inflammations. Thirdly, it protects against the damaging effects of free radicals, preventing aging.

Apply to the face after cleansing and before applying creams. This product can be used in the morning; however, always use a sunscreen afterwards.

I agree with the negative reviews. I finished the bottle, used it daily, and followed the manufacturer's recommendation to use the same brand cream for better results. However, there was no effect. Prior to this, I also finished a niacinamide serum from The Ordinary, and again, there was no effect. I am disappointed with this brand as I have tried three of their products and all the money I spent was in vain.
Background information - oily problematic skin. For me, this product is pointless, even thermal water is more effective. As a "bonus," the skin becomes sticky after application and this stickiness doesn't go away until the next morning, whether you apply cream on top or not. I haven't noticed any antibacterial effect, and inflammations don't heal faster with this serum.
This thing is useless. It had absolutely no effect after using half of the bottle. Later, a cosmetologist told me that the percentage of salicylic acid was too low.
I have already used half a bottle, using it every day, and I haven't seen any results. It's a pity I wasted my money.
I have been using this serum for a week. I bought it to lighten pigmentation and dry out inflammations, and it works great for both. In a short period of time, everything that used to cause concern and couldn't be treated even with pharmacy remedies disappeared (you can imagine the scale). My skin is dry, which made me a little hesitant before purchasing the serum, as it is advertised for oily and combination skin. However, I use it before applying Physiogel cream, and so far I can't complain about dryness. I also recommend applying the product directly to inflammations and pigmentation for those with dry skin. In conclusion, I recommend this serum specifically for solving the problems that the manufacturer claims. Despite its fairly affordable price, the product works even better than some other pricier brands.
Mixed feelings about this serum. On one hand, it helps to reduce inflammation faster and prevents new ones from appearing frequently. It doesn't excessively dry out the skin (unless you neglect moisturizing). However, the salicylic acid is supposed to unclog pores and cleanse them. This is the main reason why I purchased the serum. Unfortunately, I never experienced this effect. Even though I have used up the entire bottle. Therefore, I won't be repurchasing it. Overall, it does work fairly well on problematic skin.
This product effectively cleanses the pores, although it foams too much when applied and leaves a sticky residue.
Awful serum. After using it for a week, my breakouts got worse, and it really dries out my skin.
This serum is excellent, it has greatly improved the clarity of my skin. Any breakouts disappear overnight. However, since I purchased it (April 20, 2018), the price has increased by 100 UAH! I will wait for a sale. Overall, it is an excellent product.
Excellent serum for problem skin! I have been using it for just under a month, but I can already see results - the severity of my acne has decreased. I will definitely purchase it again! It's my new holy grail.
Great serum, get it while it's still available! My dermatologist recommended it to me (I have oily skin and breakouts), and I really like it. It mattifies the skin. However, I also use other ointments/creams (as prescribed) and do regular cleansing alongside using this serum. After 2-3 weeks of using the serum, the greasy feeling disappeared, and my skin feels soft and fresh (hydrated)! The serum has a watery consistency, so you only need a little bit. It absorbs quickly, doesn't make the skin oily, and there's no stickiness (if you apply a small amount). After applying, I use foundation or SPF, and everything works perfectly. Of course, during the day, I use blotting papers for my T-zone. I ordered a second bottle.
I want to thank the store so much, the delivery was excellent, everything arrived on time as always!
The effect after the first application is at its best. First, I would recommend checking the skin's sensitivity to the serum by applying a very thin layer for 3-4 hours in the evening, and then applying a soothing cream at night. It's a strong product, so getting a burn is quite easy.
I have previously purchased hyaluronic acid from this brand, so I have been a fan of The Ordinary for a while now. I recently bought their serum, and the only thing is, I don't know why after applying a tiny little drop on my face imperfections, it forms a white film (mess) at first and then gets absorbed and everything is fine. Maybe it's the reaction of salicylic acid with my skin... I'm not sure about it, to be honest. But overall, I am satisfied. The company's delivery, as always, is excellent!
This is an excellent product that I absolutely adore. It effectively gets rid of blackheads, which is crucial for someone with oily skin like me. It lasts a long time as I only use it on problem areas. The first time I used it, I got carried away and applied several layers all over my face, resulting in a nearly salicylic acid peel effect. Despite being water-based instead of alcohol-based, it still needs to be used with caution.
Overall, this serum is unique and there are very few comparable alternatives. However, the price for this relatively affordable brand is just astronomical in the makeup industry, which is unfortunate.
I rely on this serum in emergency situations, and it never disappoints! It clears away redness caused by impending disaster overnight! I apply it together with the azulene fluid from the same brand.
I bought this product to treat acne and its aftermath. The bottle is of very good quality. I have been using it for a week and there has been some improvement. The breakouts have become lighter and the scars from old acne are either disappearing or lightening. It doesn't dry out my skin and I haven't experienced any burning. After a month of use, I will write a more detailed review. My skin is normal but tends to be oily in the T-zone, and I get breakouts on my chin.
Super for problematic skin!!!!
This product is absolutely amazing for anyone dealing with problematic skin!
Finally!!! Thank you, Make up! I am very impressed: The Ordinary can now be purchased on your website. Excellent cosmetics. I have been using it for some time now and the results are satisfying. I have been waiting for so long for it to be available for purchase in Ukraine.
This serum is excellent for combination skin.
Simply indispensable for oily skin. Truly, The Ordinary does not need reviews. And a separate huge thank you to Makeup for the opportunity to buy this cosmetics.
