    I could not use this product: when you put it on your face it leathers like face wash. If you try to let it dry and put any other serum or moisturiser on top they will both lather. I normally love...

    This is the first Salycylic Acid I've ever used and I'm glad this is the best choice I've ever made in purchasing skincare products. I really like this product although it has thick, viscous...

    First let me start by saying that The Ordinary's Salicylic Acid 2 % Solution now comes in a one ounce bottle, not the .5 ounce, so this makes it a better deal. If you are used to using salicylic...

    I initially thought this did nothing at all on my skin and had left it aside for months. The texture was like any other the Ordinary serums, fluid and colorless, a bit tacky after it’s absorbed,...

    As someone with hormonal oily acne-prone skin, this stuff is awesome. It can be a tad drying so do follow up with a good moisturizer and only use small amounts of it. I use it as a spot treatment...

    2% salicylic acid, without the stickiness and at the correct pH level. If your skin responds well to salicylic acid, go for it. Do it. Some people will find this irritating, that's fine. If you do,...

    I use this to spot treat any breakouts, I dab it on overnight and by the next morning I notice a large reduction in the size of the breakout. Excellent price and effective.

    I have changed my initial review, because after more continued use this is is just too strong and drying for my skin, even just as a spot treatment. It causes raw patches and extreme dryness, that...

    I've been using the salicylic acid for about a month now. This is the second BHA product I've tried so I don't have much to compare to. I'm really liking this product so far. It helps reduce my...

    I've been using BHA for many years. Seems like all of the new formulations, especially those with further additives, break me out. I had hopes for this one but it caused raised, red itchy spots....

    Salicylic acid does nothing to my skin. But they say that it is good against congestion, so I keep trying it. Bought this bottle from The Ordinary to test. It is easy to apply and probably would be...

    This stuff gave me the worst contact dermatitis I ever experienced. Swollen shut eyes, itchy red patches, bumps all over the skin. Be careful and patch test. This stuff is strong.
