I've been using this for over a year now and I love it. But I feel that sometimes with many skincare products stop working over time like your skin gets immune and doesn't help that much. however, I've changed my routine and use it two a week and it has helped my clogged pores and I use it as a spot treatment and it sucks everything out. would recommend it for anyone with acne but of course, use it if you actually need it and if it fits your skin type.
I was SO nervous about trying the Salicylic Acid that I actually waited months before finally purchasing a bottle! I don't know about other people, but I would break out so bad when using another product containing this that I honestly & truly thought I was allergic to it & couldn't use it!?!? I guess it was the formulations the "other" brands used because THIS does NOT cause me to break out at all!!!! I am so happy that I found this product & decided to finally try it!!! My medicine cabinet is almost all full of The Ordinary skincare products...nothing "ordinary" about this brand!!!! You guys & gals rock!!!!!!!
Amazing, it does what it promises, I am in love, thank you the ordinary
A drop of this on my spots used to help sooo much at night and kept my skin clearer for longer. But I am starting to lose my mind that it's been so long since it was last available and my replacements just don't quite compare to be honest..... please give us a date or ANY sort of hint when it may be available, yours sincerely... everyone X
I really need this!!!.... The only thing in my life that ever worked on my skin. This is so depressing. I really need this back guys PLEASE
I bought this salicylic acid serum and I really noticed differences. My pimples started going away and if you use it everyday more pimples wont come out. Altho I really wish there was a bigger size. PLEASE MAKE THIS IN 60ML I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEEEEEEEE THIS PRODUCT
Years ago I finished my roaccutane treatment which helped a lot with cystic acne but I still got little closed pimples and clogged pores. I used some other products (as retinol, aha bha peeling, niacimide+zinc) to improve my skin but the issue was still there. I introduced THIS Product a month ago and it was such a change!! My skin isnโt irritated at all, spots clear almost overnight, it helps with clogged pores like a miracle. And one more big plus: before I got pigmented spots after smallest pimples that were almost impossible to remove, salicylic acid solution clears them so fast! I pare it with hyaluronic acid at night and use on spots, or once or twice weekly also on the whole face if I feel like it. Iโm really happy about this purchase and will definitely continue to use it. My fiancรฉ uses it too, for him it works perfect as well. (I got a broken package first, customer support immediately sent me a new one!) donโt forget sunscreen!
I had a bad cycle of breakouts with the change of weather..trust me Iโve tried everything. So my last to go to is this magic in a bottle new formulated salicylic acid.. tried it for a week and wow! It didnโt dissapoint at all of my pimples new and old are all arrested and started to dry out.. be patient and consistent.. it will work for you.. pls pls pls donโt take this out of the market again..this stuff is magic x
I'm so happy you finally brought this amazing product back :). My skin has definitely missed it and I don't want to be without it anymore! There is nothing comparable on the discount shelves...but even if it were, I would always prefer your products due to the high concentration and purity of the ingredients :) Love it!
I'm one of the many who had been waiting 2 years for this product to come back. Ever since they stopped making this stuff, I'd been cycling through other products, trying to find something that could keep my acne under control, to no avail. I was worried that when they brought this back, the reformulation would not work on me, but I'm so happy to say that in just 5 days of use, my breakouts have almost entirely vanished. Works just how it did before. I hope they never stop making this stuff - nothing works even half as well for my skin to both heal and prevent breakouts. For me, it's the difference between large weekly breakouts and having completely clear skin as long as I'm using it.
my acne's worst nightmare. clears spots up in a couple of days. no irritation whatsoever. i am begging you to bring this back.
I had painful cystic acne and this product gave me the most amazing skin. Please bring the product back.
I had a lot of milia productions under my eyes, I put this on the other night and the next morning most of it had went down or completely gone. skin felt/looked really smooth. I enjoyed this product a lot. Great price and great formula! tip of advice: dont over use this it is an exfoliant and can be drying if over used. its recommend 2-3 times a week, I go by how my skin is feeling if I need that extra cleanse/exfoliation I use this. love the product ! DECIEM Response: We're so happy to hear you're enjoying The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution. Thank you for your review!
I use It in the Pm and now Can't stay without.The best for cistic acne, irregular skin ect...
Love this stuff. When is it going to be in stock again? It's been months. The mask is ok but a bit of a pain in the butt. Not a viable replacement. Please get it together & get this back on the shelves. DECIEM Response: We're so happy you're enjoying The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution. We're so sorry it's taking so long.

Absolute save for sudden pimples or the really inflamed and headless ones! Fastest in drying out pimples and helps with spots
This products is awesome!! I use it daily under my makeup and alternate at night with other ordinary products. The plus side is my face is not oily when using this product under makeup. Some way it controls my oils. This products clears white heads and black heads. If you have a bump you literally apply this acid and by the morning the bump is flat. Try it you wonโt be sorry. Itโs light weight, dries fast, no smell, and gives you clear skin. I love this stuff I will never buy a over the counter products thy contain salicylic acid again because those products breaks me out. This product doesnโt do that, I love it!!!
Love this product! It worked like a charm to eliminate any hormonal/cystic acne I had, but is also the only thing we've managed to find to help with my daughterโs acne from puberty. My only qualm is that it comes in a glass packaging. Iโve had a The Ordinary product broken during shipment, which your company replaced with no hassle, but my daughter has also managed to โaccidentallyโ drop 2 separate bottles. While the bottles did not shatter, both times the glass screw on closure part broke. I really wish you would offer plastic serum/oil containers.

Clears up all my pimples before they get too bad. Really happy with this product. Donโt get a lot of acne but really good for spot treatment whenever I do. DECIEM Response: We're so happy to hear you're enjoying The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution. Thank you for your review! โค
I absolutely love the ordinary as a brand and recommend it to all my friends. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the salicylic acid acid changed my life - no other product has helped me so much. That's why it's even more disappointing that it has been out of stock for SUCH a long time (over a year now I think?). Really resistant to incorporate a product in to your routine if you can't rely on it. Even an indication of when you think it might be back in stock would help at this point!
AMAZING! I cannot recommend this product highly enough. I've only been using it for just over a week (twice a day AM & PM, applying a small amount all over my face) and my blackheads have almost disappeared from my nose (for anyone who is worried that it will make their skin dry, I leave it 5 minutes and moisturise after). I've spent years looking for a product like this. Thank you The Ordinary and DECIEM :)
This stuff is lovely. Definitely helps with congestion but doesn't dry out my skin or trigger my rosacea. I use once a day (pm) after cleansing and layer retinol about 45-60 minutes later.
I used this product for around 6 months with no problems however, recently it brings my face up in red patches sometimes with an itchy rash as well. This has possibly coincided with a new bottle - has the formula changed? Iโm gutted as I previously loved this product and got loads of compliments on my skin but the irritation is too much now.
For the love of god.. please bring this back! This was my OG product! I love everything about this.. I mis it with my la mer soft cream. This has made my skin the best that it has ever looked. Estรฉe!! Please bring this back home. We need it sis. As a skin expert I. This industry.. NOTHING touches this
iโve always had mini bumps on my skin, not spots just like tiny bumps and i never know how to get rid of them and i saw someone on tiktok use it and i thought i may aswell try. it itโs only ยฃ5 thinking it wouldnโt work because nothing really works on my skin but when i started using it it cleared the bumps completely and my skin was so smooth iโve just ran out and theyโve started to come back again :( couldnโt recommend any more
I bought this product a few months ago and I have seen great improvements in my skin. When I first started using the product, my skin went through a pretty bad purging phase. I kept going with the product and I now have the clearest skin ever. I feel now that I have control over my skin and that my skin doesnโt control me anymore!
I always wanted to try this product BUT it was out of stick for so long. I finally got my hands on it and I am completely obsessed!!! My skin has a clarity I did not know was possible. I this in my PM routine and Niacinamide in my AM routine. Thank you DECIEM!
Please consider producing the old formula until the new formula is ready. please please pleas ple
Iโve been wanting to buy more. Itโs been out of stock for two years now. The formula was perfect! I hope it comes back soon. Havenโt been able to find anything like it.
Please bring back the salicylic acid 2% solution. It really helped my skin like nothing else. When will it be back?
Used this on my whole face for a week to improve texture, sebaceous filaments and large pores on my t-zone and it has drastically improved all of the above. Now I use to spot treat alongside niacinimide 10% and zinc 1% and they two work great together.
Iโve been using this along with the niacimide & zinc serum by the ordinary and have noticed great results to my very oily, acne prone skin. The first night I used it I made the mistake of letting too much of the product sit on my skin and did see some redness the next morning. Since that I have used a small amount over my entire face and noticed an immediate improvement in the texture and appearance of my skin along with the frequency of my breakouts.
An absolute life-changer for me. I'm 32 and have been struggling with my acne, pores, skin texture and oily skin since I was 10. I've tried almost everything. Until now the only thing that cleared my skin was accutane, but the side-effects weren't worth it. I always had blemishes, bumpy skin, huge pores and I was super OILY. I started with this product and moisturized more and noticed within a few days that my texture had improved and my blemishes were disappearing. The increase in moisture also seemed to close my pores. I couldn't help but add extra TO products and so far I've had positive experiences with them all (Plant derived squalene, naicinamide + zinc, Rosehip Oil & Vit C powder). However, this is still my holy grail. I wouldn't do without it.
Huge fan of this product! This (and the niacinamide, buffet, hyaluronic acid, vitamin c and sqaulane) has completely stopped my pimples and made my skin look better then it has been in years. Being over 30 and stuggling with this problem for over 15 years, finding these products have made me and my skin so happy!
The. Best. Thing. Ever. for drying nasty surprises on your face and neck line, I could see results after only 1 application! It slightly foams on skin but dries out really quickly, it goes well with make up too. 9/10
I use it twice a week, it's good.However, can't leave it on during the day...becajse it will leave sticky / greyish residue behind. And pills under makeup. DECIEM Response: "Pilling" often occurs due to many different reasons, for example amount of the product being applied, consistencies of the products being used in conjunction, the total number of products being applied, etc. In general terms, water formulations should be applied before oil formulations and we recommend using a maximum of three serum formulations in a single regimen. In this case, you may be applying too much product onto your skin. Your skin can only absorb a certain amount of product, and any excess will be left on top of the skin so that when the next product is being applied, it rubs off. We recommend using 1-2 drops of each product, massaging it into the skin until it is fully absorbed in order to move onto the next. We hope this helps! If there is anything else we can assist you with, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Really terrific product! I use it for spot treatment when I started to break out (especially on my period) and it works wonder minimizing the intensity of blemishes. Currently waiting for it to restock - my current bottle is basically empty! DECIEM Response: We're so happy you're loving The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution. We don't have any estimated dates for restocking products at this time, but we promise our team is working very hard to produce as much stock as possible. Thank you for your review! โค
This product is great for treating spots or to use on your whole face until your acne starts to clear. I have used it to spot treat and my 13 year old son is using it on his whole face. I have noticed a vast improvement in his skin in just a week. He is also using the niacinamide + zinc and HA 2% + B5. His skin is clearing up. Love all The Ordinary products that I've tried thus far. You cannot beat the price and customer service. Thank you! DECIEM Response: Hi Erin! Thank you for the kind words! We are so happy to hear these successes with your use of The Ordinary!
Too adstringent because of the witch hazel. My face feels extremely tight after applying this and it takes about 30 minutes for me to recover after application. Generally a good and cheap salicylic acid formulation, just wish youโd get rid of the witch hazel. DECIEM Response: Hi Karlo! Thank you for sharing! We can recommend using it as a spot treatment to avoid the issue you are currently experiencing. If you no longer wish to use the product, please take advantage of our 365 day return policy
