Benefits of The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque:
- Formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid
- Improves uneven texture & blemish-prone skin
- Contains charcoal & clays to absorb dirt, oil & impurities
- Removes dead skin cells
- Once a week treatment
Salicylic Acid is one of the most effective active ingredients in treating acneic and blemish-prone skin. This once a week treatment masque works to improve the appearance of skin by exfoliating dead skin cells removing dirt, oil and impurities and leaving the complexion feeling refreshed and radiant.
Salicylic Acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and works to dissolve oils from the skin surface and within pores to reduce their appearance and leave skin feeling refreshed, radiant and clear.
Together with the 2% Salicylic Acid, is a blend of charcoal and clays, which work to draw out impurities alongside the BHA, for a multi-pronged approach to removing excess oils and impurities. The treatment masque also works to remove surface dead skin cells to reveal a radiant complexion.
With continued use, uneven skin texture is improved, skin is deeply cleansed and pores are unclogged.
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque has a pH of 3.50 - 4.50 and is free from alcohol, oil, silicone, nut, gluten and is vegan and cruelty-free.
