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).

Fave
I love a good face mask especially a clay and thick one that zaps the pores and cleans everything out. This is definitely one to try if you haven’t already

My most favourite BHA mask.
I have emptied 4 tubes of this mask already. Love the way it feels on my skin after washing it off. Love it.

Great but not for sensitive skin
I do like this mask and will buy it again when I use up my other masks. I don’t think it would be good for sensitive skin as it makes my skin tingle and mines not particularly sensitive. It feels like I does the job and my skin looks and feels much fresher after it use it.

Love this for congested skin
Love this face mask. It’s not as expensive as some other face masks but it outperforms more expensive salicylic acid masks I have. It’s like a mud mask and when it’s wiped off it left my skin soft and less congested. If used too often or with other acids can make skin sensitive though. Would recommend.

Essential
This little mask is a staple part of my weekly routine. I use it 2 or 3 times a week across my nose, cheeks and chin so deep cleanse pores and minimise their appearance
