Amazing!
Iâve been using this for a few weeks now on my acne-prone skin and itâs really helped clear things up. It dries out pimples fast and even keeps new ones from showing up. It does tingle a bit when you first apply, but it settles quickly. Super affordable and honestly works better than some expensive stuff Iâve tried.

Awesome product! Works like a charm
I was a little skeptical about The Ordinary at first because of how affordable their stuff is, but this salicylic acid serum genuinely surprised me. Iâve been dealing with clogged pores and the occasional breakout, especially around my T-zone, and this actually made a noticeable difference after just a few uses. The texture is lightweight and sinks in pretty fast not sticky or greasy at all. I use it mostly at night, a few times a week, and it helps keep my skin feeling smooth and clearer overall. It doesnât dry me out like some other salicylic products Iâve tried, but I still follow it up with moisturizer just in case. What I really like is that it helps prevent breakouts more than just treating existing ones. I still get a pimple here and there, but itâs way less frequent, and they donât last as long. Definitely a staple in my routine now.

Effective salicylic acid treatment
I’ve been using The Ordinary’s salicylic acid, and it’s truly effective! It helps clear my skin and reduces breakouts without drying it out. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my overall skin texture. A must-have for anyone struggling with acne!

Great value!
Iâve been using this salicylic acid solution and itâs been really effective, especially for my acne-prone skin. With regular use, my skin feels so much smoother and more even. Itâs one of those products that actually delivers consistent results, which is hard to find. Plus, itâs super affordableâdefinitely a great value for what you get.

So helpful
So smooth. Easy to put on and EFFECTIVE. This cleared up breakouts in two days- tops. Anytime I feel something coming up, I put a dot of this on at night, and it’s gone in the morning. This hasn’t dried my skin out too much. I’ve used some in the past that made my skin peel- this doesn’t do that. I well definitely keep this in my routine!

Excellent product
This product has helped me a lot. My skin had pimples, blackheads and kind of dull. Since I started using it, my face looks cleaner and the pimples have almost come off. It does not irritate or dry me out. I use it at night and it has worked very well for me. I really recommend it.

A good deal on salicylic acid.
Decent product. Hasnât drawn out one buried pimple. I have had a long time yet. Cleans up the surface nicely. A very good bargain.

Great results and gentle on my skin
Iâve been using this serum for a few weeks now and Iâm really happy with the results. My skin feels smoother, looks more even, and it hasnât caused any irritation at all. It absorbs quickly and works well under my moisturizer. If youâre looking for a gentle and effective skincare product, this one is definitely worth trying.

Muy bueno para el control del acné, me lo pongo directo en los brotes y se me quita muy rápido y sin dejar marca.

Seems to have cleared up and shrunk my pores really quickly. I use this first thing in the morning after a shower or in the evening before retinol.

Product is perfect, I gave 1 star for the delivery, he did not call before delivery to confirm my presense at home , he left the package at the door unattended, and could have been easily stolen 🙁
