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).

Worth every penny
A staple for people like me who have oily skin and are prone to breakouts. It has a lovely texture and feels refreshing on your skin. Whenever it's that time of the month or I feel a zit coming I slather it on and it stops any under-the-skin activity. It's magical. During the summer, when it's hot and humid, I use it once a week to keep my skin clean and in check. It's a little bit of a pain to take off, but it's 100% worth it.

Had to come back
I’ve been using this since i was like 19 errrr don’t know why i even stopped. Hormones are displaced right now so i’ve come back after like a year. I know it will get rid of blemishes quite quickly it’s why it’s must for me. When washing off I use it as a mini scrub, works wonders on the surface of the skin. Silky feel. There is small tingle if you’re new to using it esp after using ordinary glycolic acids toner

Effective for spots and blemishes!
This is a classic - my go to mask whenever I feel a blemish coming on - I’ve noticed the price has significantly gone up in recent years but it’s still one of the few affordable masks on the market . Main issue for me is that when it starts to dry it can peel off so it drops everywhere so can be a bit messy ….
