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... just like the Salicylic Acid 2% Masque (50ml), expertly formulated to work wonders for congested and lacklustre skin.
An excellent companion for oily, blemish-prone skin types, the Salicylic Acid 2% Masque (50ml) is here to deliver a swift goodbye to unwelcome vi-zits.
Its namesake, salicylic acid, is the star of the show; a hardworking BHA that exfoliates away dead cells both on the skin's surface and within pores, revealing brighter and clearer skin beneath. This multi-talented ingredient also helps to reduce the look of blemishes, alongside helping to prevent future ones from forming. Given away by the mask's jet-black hue, the formula also contains charcoal which works alongside Amazonian clays to deeply cleanse the complexion of impurities and grime. Clearer, smoother, more radiant skin, here we come...
Aqua (Water), Kaolin, Squalane, Glycerin, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Silica Cetyl Silylate, Salicylic Acid, Sodium Polyacrylate, Pentylene Glycol, Charcoal Powder, 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol, Sclerotium Gum, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Phytic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Use once or twice a week after cleansing on dry skin. Apply evenly on your face, then leave for 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do not use on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes both during application and rinse off.
Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

Love it
I really like this mask, I tried the Ordinary Peeling Solution and it breaks me out every time, this leaves my skin glowing and really smooth, I also feel like my hormonal acne is really calm the next day and looks a lot better. Going to up my usage to twice a week as it really makes a difference to my skin. My only con is that when I first got it and shook it a bit it literally felt like half a tube- you could hear it moving around like it wasn't full but for the price, I am happy to keep purchasing.

Amazing mask!
This mask has replaced The Ordinary AHA 10% & BHA 2% peeling solution mask. It applies on quicker and helps with really oily skin and congestion. My skin loves it and I have made a repurchase. CON: it is a small amount. It will get finished quickly.

Great but messy
You do have to use a lot of products to cover your whole face and it is a bit messy washing it off, but I always see a difference immediately after using it. My skin looks brighter and I love the added element of charcoal.

Great mask
I use a mask a couple of times a week. Sometimes it pinches a little skin, but does not cause discomfort. The effect is good - the skin is slightly lighter, the inflammation is dried. Great thing!

Love it
Absolutely love it. After each use my skin looks brighter and softer. The mask doesn't sting or burn, application is easy and it sits nicely on skin without any tugging. I use it once to twice a week and I can say that it is a must have if you have acne prone skin. It helps and works great with other treatments I use.

This works!
This is so good, I used it every second day to clear up a bad breakout and it didn't dry my skin out too much. The spots haven't come back which is even better!

Love it for breakouts
I saw Ruth Crilly (A Model Recommends) talking about this in one of her videos and thought I’d give it a go. I suffer from hormonal breakouts in my chin and milia. I use this 1-2 times a week along with other exfoliates and I do think it helps to clear the gunk in your skin and dry things up.
