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).

Still waiting to see results
On the plus side, it’s an affordable product, and easy to use (if a bit messy). Don’t expect immediate results though. I’m a month into using it, and I’m still waiting to see any visible signs of improvement on my nose pores.

A really good targeted treatment for spots/blemishes
I really like this mask as a spot treatment/mask whereby I just apply where I have active blemishes or breakouts as opposed to a full face mask as I think it could be a little drying - this might not be the case for skins oilier than mine (I tend to get an oily t-zone only), I do feel it makes a difference, particularly if the blemish is irritated/itchy. I am on my second tube and will definitely repurchase when finished.

It just works!
Leaves my skin feeling so refreshed, it’s a mask that actually works. It refines all the little lumps and bumps on my skin and smoothes out any texture I may have. I use it as a spot treatment but also as a full face mask when I’m needy some urgent care for my skin.

Good for breakouts
Great value, good for breakouts. Knocked a star off as it’s very difficult to get off once it’s on!
