The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution 30ml

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution (30mL / 1 fl. oz) – Authentic Canadian Import

Clear active breakouts, dissolve pore congestion, and smooth rough skin texture with authentic The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution (30mL / 1 fl. oz). Directly imported from Canada, this water-based liquid exfoliant is formulated with a 2% concentration of Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid) to penetrate deep into pore walls, break down trapped sebum, remove dead skin cells, and prevent future blackheads and blemishes.

BHA Exfoliation Science & Pore Clearing

Acne, blackheads, and uneven skin texture occur when dead skin cells mix with excess sebum, forming plugs inside the follicle lining. Because Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble (lipophilic), it easily bypasses surface oils to penetrate deep into pores:

2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): Dissolves the lipid "glue" binding dead cells together inside pore walls to decongest skin, target active blemishes, and clear out stubborn blackheads.

Optimized pH Range (3.20–4.00): Formulated within an ideal pH range to maximize BHA bio-activity and skin renewal without reliance on abrasive physical scrubs.

Lightweight Water-Based Delivery: Oil-free serum absorbs rapidly without leaving a greasy residue, film, or heavy finish.

Texture Smoothing & Clarity: Gently sheds dulling surface cells to refine rough patches, balance surface shine, and restore overall skin clarity.

Key Performance Benefits & Targeted Blemish Care

Dual-Action Application: Works effectively as an all-over facial treatment for pore congestion or as a targeted spot treatment for active breakouts.

Unclogs & Refines Pores: Clears trapped oils and debris to diminish the appearance of enlarged pores and blackheads.

Lightweight Layering: Absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer beneath hydrating serums, lightweight moisturizers, or night creams.

Clean Clinical Standards: 100% Vegan, cruelty-free, oil-free, silicone-free, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free.

100% Authentic Canadian Import: Packaged in a classic 30mL glass dropper bottle under strict DECIEM clinical quality control standards.

Clean Care & Compatibility Standards

Suitable Skin Types: Ideal for oily, combination, blemish-prone, and congested skin struggling with acne, blackheads, and rough texture.

Precautions: Do not use on sensitive, peeling, broken, or eczema-prone skin. Avoid combining with direct acids, retinoids, or direct Vitamin C in the same routine.

How to Use

Step 1 (Cleanse & Dry): Cleanse face thoroughly and pat completely dry (do not apply to wet skin).

Step 2 (Apply): Use once daily, preferably in the evening. Apply a small dot directly onto active blemishes as a spot treatment, or smooth 2 to 3 drops over the face for overall congestion. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes.

Step 3 (Layer Moisture): Allow the product to absorb fully before applying creams or facial oils.

Sunburn Alert: This product contains a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that may increase skin sensitivity to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily during use and for a week after discontinuing.
