How to Use:

1. Cleanse the face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water, then pat skin dry.
2. Apply a small amount (a few drops) of The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution directly to areas of concern or to the entire face, avoiding the eye and lip area.
3. Gently massage or pat into the skin until fully absorbed, focusing on congested zones such as the T-zone, chin, and areas with visible blemishes.
4. Use once daily in the evening, unless otherwise directed by a skincare professional. Do not use on compromised, peeling, or overly sensitive skin.
5. Follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. During the day, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF, as exfoliating acids can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.

Suitable For:

• Skin Types: Best suited for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. Can be used with caution on normal skin prone to congestion. Not recommended for very sensitive or severely compromised skin.
• Hair Types: Not applicable; this is a facial skincare serum.
• Concerns: Blemishes, acne breakouts, blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged pores, uneven texture, excess oil, and post-acne dark spots/hyperpigmentation.

Results:

• Some users may notice a fresher, smoother feel and reduced surface oiliness within a few days of consistent use.
• With regular nightly use over 2–4 weeks, the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads, and active blemishes may gradually diminish, and skin texture may appear more refined. Continued use over 4–8 weeks can help support clearer-looking skin and a more even tone around post-acne marks. Individual results and timelines can vary.

Side Effects:

• May cause mild tingling or a slight warming sensation during the first few uses, especially on blemish-prone areas.
• Slight redness, dryness, or peeling may occur, particularly in individuals with sensitive or reactive skin or when overused.
• Rarely, allergic reactions or significant irritation can occur in individuals sensitive to salicylic acid or other formula components.
• Note: If severe irritation, burning, rash, swelling, or persistent discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional.

Precautions:

• Patch test recommended before first use: apply a small amount to a discreet area once a day for several days to assess tolerance.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes and mucous membranes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• For external use only; do not ingest.
• Discontinue use if irritation, excessive dryness, or sensitivity occurs and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist.
• Use sunscreen during the day when using this product, as exfoliating acids can increase skin’s sensitivity to UV radiation and risk of sunburn.
• Do not use on broken, inflamed, or eczematous skin. Avoid combining in the same routine with other strong acids, retinoids, or potent exfoliants unless directed by a professional.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
