THE ORDINARY Salicylic Acid 2% Masque

Product Information

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a rinse-off treatment designed to deeply cleanse pores, reduce excess oil, and improve the appearance of uneven skin texture. Formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) and charcoal and clay-based ingredients, this mask helps draw out impurities while gently exfoliating the skin.

This powerful yet controlled formula targets clogged pores, blackheads, and dullness, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and purified after each use. The clay-based texture helps absorb excess sebum, while salicylic acid works inside pores to clear buildup and reduce congestion.

Ideal for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin, this masque is best used weekly as part of a targeted skincare routine for clearer, smoother-looking skin.
