Salicylic acid or BHAs (beta-hydroxy-acids) are a miracle worker for clogged pores & exfoliating. They’re oil soluble & can penetrate the skin deeper then an AHA which makes them exceptional at unclogging pores & combating acne. Even dry skin can benefit from a BHA, and as someone with dry, sensitive skin I can’t imagine not using one. Here are a couple different options from The Ordinary lớn experience the goodness that BHAs offer.
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque
Salicylic Acid can be used as a serum or treatment. Depending on your skin type, you may not need lớn use salicylic acid all that often so a weekly treatment can be a great option. At 2% BHA, this treatment mask by The Ordinary is effective yet non-irritating on the skin. Some serums range up khổng lồ 20% acid and your skin does not need anywhere near that much khổng lồ see a difference.
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a leave-on treatment containing charcoal clay and salicylic acid. It’s great at drawing out oils & imperfections from your pores. It exfoliates dead skin cells while unveiling a radiant and smooth complexion upon washing it off. If I’m breaking out, this is the mask I use. As someone with dry, sensitive skin I really enjoy this mask và I think it does a great job at achieving what it claims.
The Ordinary advises this mask khổng lồ be left on for no longer than 10 minutes, I leave sầu it on for about 8 minutes & wash it off sooner if it’s burning or uncomfortable. I still see a noticeable difference after 8 minutes. I would hotline this the best clay mask I’ve ever used and you can use this as a spot treatment khổng lồ target a specific blemish.
On nights when you use this mask, it should be used in place of your typical acid or active. No need lớn use retinoids or actives on days when you use this mask. You’ll want lớn follow up the mask with a hydrating serum lượt thích Hyaluronic Acid or Marine Hyaluronics and a moisturizer as it may make your skin feel dry.

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
After the introductions on the SA mask, the 2% SA Solution similarly exfoliates the skin, unclogs pores and breaks down oil build up. This solution performs with very similar functions as their 2% masque. But, at 2% just like the weekly salicylic acid masque from The Ordinary, you can’t help but wonder, is this solution intense? Yes, this product is pretty intense & it’s best for oily or blemish prone skin types. It’s also a hàng hóa that does not need to lớn be used very often.

Like the 2% Salicylic acid masque, this hàng hóa is an acid & should not be used daily. If your skin can tolerate this sản phẩm you probably want lớn use it a few times a week at most. It conflicts with other acids, retinoids & vitamin C so save this for your nighttime routine. It pairs very well with The Ordinary’s Niacinamide serum and the two together are great at combating acne.
Luckily TO is working on updating this hàng hóa as well as releasing an 0.5% and 1.0% formulation of salicylic acid. These will be much better suited for more sensitive skin types. The Ordinary has a pretty vast collection of acids but only 2 BHA products. We’ve sầu learned, BHAs persize differently then AHAs và it benefits your skin to lớn use both.
I experienced stinging and burning with this sản phẩm & it’s the only direct acid from The Ordinary that irritated my skin. I much prefer their other acids or to just use the Salicylic Acid Masque. It has a lightweight, viscous texture & water based formula like most of their acid serums.
This hàng hóa is not for all skin types and if you have sầu sensitive skin, proceed with caution But, with The Ordinary’s new updates, there should be an option that can suit everyone soon!
