The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution is a gentle, water-free serum formulated to address blemish-prone skin and uneven texture. Unlike traditional salicylic acid products, this anhydrous (water-free) formula utilizes a squalane-based emollient base and supporting hydrating polyglycerides to deliver salicylic acid over time, reducing the irritation potential often associated with acid use. This makes it an ideal choice for those new to acid exfoliation or with sensitive skin. citeturn0search0
