Purify and refine your skin with The Ordinary’s Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution, a water-free exfoliating treatment designed to promote a clearer, more balanced complexion over time. This lightweight, oil-based formula harnesses the power of salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its ability to deeply penetrate pores and dissolve excess sebum, dead skin cells, and other impurities that contribute to congestion and breakouts.

Unlike traditional salicylic acid solutions, which are typically water-based and can sometimes cause dryness, this unique anhydrous (water-free) formulation is infused with a squalane-like emollient that helps to enhance hydration and comfort. This allows for a more gentle exfoliation process, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive or blemish-prone skin.

By promoting a mild yet effective exfoliation, the solution helps to visibly refine pores, smooth uneven skin texture, and support a clearer, more radiant complexion. With consistent use, the formula works to reduce the appearance of blemishes, blackheads, and dullness, revealing fresher, healthier-looking skin.

Key Benefits:

• Targets clogged pores by dissolving debris and excess oil.
• Provides gentle exfoliation to promote a more even skin tone and texture.
• Minimizes the look of enlarged pores for a refined appearance.
• Water-free, non-drying formula for enhanced skin comfort.
• Suitable for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin types.

For best results, apply a few drops to clean, dry skin in the morning and/or evening. Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as exfoliating acids can increase sensitivity to the sun.
