The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. And the Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution (30ml) balances slow-release salicylic acid with soothing squalane to gently target textural irregularities.
Had it up to here with congested pores? The Ordinary's Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution (30ml) is here to help.
Ideal if you're new to salicylic acid or simply want a gentle everyday treatment, this lightweight formula effectively targets uneven texture and congestion. As you may have guessed, the 2% salicylic acid is the star of the show; exfoliating away dead cells both on the skin's surface and within pores to reveal a brighter and clearer complexion. Balanced by non-comedogenic squalane and hydrating polyglycerides that slowly release the active ingredient and comfort your skin, it's a win, win!
Squalane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pentylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Oleic/Linoleic/Linolenic Polyglycerides, 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol, Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.

Most gentlest BHA
This most gentlest BHA serum that i have ever tried. But it does leaves greasy finish which is common most BHA serums in the market. Beginner to skin care? Grab this.

Works but no good under makeup
This seems to work fine and isn’t too drying as it’s quite oily. Can only use at night though as it doesn’t play well under makeup.

Hydrating!
I use this on my arms when they're particularly dry and find this helps to treat rough skin, bumps and is super moisturising.

Good for dry skin
This is a SA serum in oil base. More on the dry oil side but will not cause you drying issue while some SA will do. But I don't like oils and Squalane, so I prefer water-based serum

Too heavy for oily skin
I've tried to like it and it's probably a hit for those with dry skin, but it just doesn't feel right. I have oily skin and do use oils from time to time, but this one is just too heavy for me. I'll have it used up during the cold season but will get back to water-based BHA serums.

A rare disappointment from The Ordinary
Having been impressed by other products by The Ordinary, I decided to give this a go since the 'usual' Salicylic Acid version was sold out and this is marketed as gentler alternative. Unfortunately, with this product, The Ordinary fails to deliver. Whilst the solution doesn't sting, even the tiniest amount deposits a runny, heavy residue which in my case simply exacerbated the spot/pimple being treated. Moreover, because it is hard to apply the runny serum with precision, the product unavoidably hits other areas, thereby creating new blemishes rather than treating pre-existing ones! I'm no chemist but one issue perhaps is that the anhydrous solution simply drowns out the therapeutic action of the acid.

Daily BHA Exfoliant
I've been applying this gentle BHA Exfoliant serum ever since The Ordinary has introduced this item and are seeing noticeable reduction of slin inflammation.

Satisfied so far
Been wanting to try Salicylic acid for ages. I have dry skin but my skin is coping well with it, though I am being mindful to build it up gradually. I also use it topically in places most needed and have found it works for the pores on my nose and hormonal spots on my chin.
