An alright product
This product didn’t really work very well on my skin, it felt nice on my skin but overall didn’t really work for me.

Great for improving skin clarity.Great
Helps to keep skin clear.Perfect
Really good for acne-prone skin! Great for people especially with dry skin as well as that, helps fade out my pimples🩷🩷🩷Spot treating only
I have dry dehydrated skin, however I get congested on my nose. Therefore I decided to spot treat my nose with salicylic acid. So far so good. This serum is quite useful for that - it’s cheap and simple. This way I can understand if my theory to spot treat only nose will make things better. There is a little difference, but maybe I should also introduce some kind of clay mask for nose only or sulp...Read MoreAn alright product
This product didn’t really work very well on my skin, it felt nice on my skin but overall didn’t really work for me.Working well so far
Working my way up to using it more often, but the formula is pretty gentle (I have sensitive skin) and helps to mildly exfoliate. Hopefully works better on my stubborn blackheads with more regular use!Helps breakouts
Helps the pimple shrink and helps with the redness afterGreat
Love the way this feels on my skin. I noticed how even it looked with consistent use and less frequency of breakouts.Great spot treatment
Really speeds up drying & healing of my blemishes. And doesn’t trigger a reaction. I’ve been buying this product for years now & will keep buying it.Affordable and effective
Wouldn’t be without this fit treating the odd spot and breakout.Great
Suits sensitive skin and sits well under make up too.Multiple uses
I have been using on my dry heals together with a foot cream, great results. Tried after reading article by podiatrist. Affordable product and have other products from the same brandGood
It is a good product for blemishes and I recommendGood spot treatment
Have used to this on my spots and on my nose, where I can see blackheads, seems to have helped but haven’t seen drastic results.Great
Helps to keep skin clear with regular use.Great spot treatment
I use this as a spot treatment whenever I have a breakout. Just apply a dot of this & the niacinamide regularly for the next 2 days & it will dry out.This product burnt my skin
I’ve used Paula’s Choice products with the same ingredients and because I use The Ordinary retinol and multi peptide serum I thought I could trust their products, unfortunately this one gave me every reaction it says the label can cause, it could be my skin but I can’t reccomend this product to anyoneLove this stuff
I only wish I had this product when I was a teenager, just use on cheeks and chin, works really well.This is great!
I didn’t have luck with other The Ordinary products I purchased but this one is great! I’m really happy with the change in my skin after applying thisGood
No irritation so works well with sensitive skinMiracle elixr
This is one of my skincare staples. I put this on any spot that comes up and it's gone in 48 hours. I've started just adding a drop of this in my facial moisturiser to keep my skin clean and clear and it's amazing.Awesome
I have struggled with blackheads my whole life and just wish this existed when I was younger. The only downside is that it can be a bit sting-y upon application and can make your nose somewhat shiny, but it is worth it to banish those infuriating clogged pores.great for spot treatment
I have overall dry skin, but I do get congestion and break outs. I use this serum as a spot treatment, and it works really well. Definitely recommend!A must have for acne
This serum has no colour, no scent, not too sticky, not too watery. It’s an absolute must have for any skin that’s acne-prone, clogged pores, blackheads. It layers just fine with all other skincare. I apply on freshly washed skin at night, wait a couple of minutes, then follow with serum then moisturiser. The next day any breakouts are noticeably smaller, and I also use it after a day of heavy mak...Read MoreGreat for pimples
I get the occasional spot that comes up (largely around my chin), and find putting a very small amount of this on it for a couple of nights will have it go down in about 48 hours. Better than any other spot treatment I have tried and it lasts for ages as you only need a little bitStunningly working product
If I could add my pictures then I could actually make you guys see the result in just a months use. Simply loved it and a very much working product. I usually only apply salicylic acid in evening routine.Great product
Evens out my skin tone and isn’t too harsh on my skin. The bottle is long lasting as not a lot is needed when applying.Effective Spot Treatment
I feel like it works well as a spot treatment.Perfect
It helps so much with my bumps and evening out my skin toneMust have!
Just like every ordinary skincare product, its really good! I use it as a spot treatment and as an overall face serumCleared my whiteheads
The serum cleared up most of my whiteheads and is overall gentle on my dry and sensitive skin. I use it weekly.white heads
cleared up my whiteheads on my nose and chin, have to use it constantly for them to stay away, as once you stop using it they will return. i need something for blackheads nowNot a fan
I cannot say this product does anything for me. I still get congested pores and hormonal acne.Great
Has really helped to clear up my skin.Use sparingly!
Does an amazing job at getting rid of spots BUT use sparingly otherwise you have dry sore skin for weeks. Great price tooGreat
Lasts a long time and helps to improve skin texture and tone.Good
Does a good job keeping my skin clear.Really 'ordinary'
It was one of the first products I tried from The Ordinary. And it was ... well, ordinary. It started off OK, it took some time to see results. Yes, indeed I did see my skin clear up. But my guess is the product life/stability is not great, because within a few months, the product started to irritate my skin, so much so that I had to stop using it.Good
Skin is smooth and helps me feel more confidentgreat product!
this product exceeded my expectations! skin felt instantly bouncy and had really quick results, evened out my skins texture amazingly!Effectively reduces the occurrence of spots
I use the nightly as a preventative measure and also on spots to heal them faster. I would not be without this in my arsenal.10/10
The product is fantastic at getting rough skin off. I use it on my legs, and to my surprise it has helped diminish small wartsPretty good
Feels a bit sticky but has the right ingredients for the jobMy face thanks The Ordinary
I have acne-prone skin. But most of all, I had these irritating old acne scars that were brown spots and starting to affect my self esteem. I had heard so many good things about this product, I HAD to try it. I've just ordered my second refill because I don't think I can have a good night's sleep without it. I started out using it on only my spots, but quickly moved to using a little bit all ove...Read MoreEffective
A little goes such a long way. I need half a drop on my forehead and it applies easily. This has really helped clear up a persistent breakout on my forehead. Dont be fooled by the low price point this is great:It is ok
For the price, it does the job. It is also cheaper than other brands. Repurchased twice.Great!
Leaves my skin feeling so smooth, definitely worked better than i expectedGreat
Has really helped to improve the appearance of my skin over a few months of use.it's ok

coming off the pill, my acne needed something reliable to get it back under control again. was previously using prescription Duac for break outs which worked really well but wont be able to continue using it when pregnant. salicylic acid was okay-ed by my obgyn so i tried it and this product worked okay enough. just don't use it more than once daily as the bottle instructs, my skin reacted poorly ...Read MoreEffective spot treatment, great price
Use this as a spot treatment and it really helps knock pimples down, doesn't dry or irritate my breakouts or surrounding skin, used in this way it'll last forever as one drop goes a long way.L
I've purchased this before and love it for preventing and getting rid of all types of acne - blackheads/whiteheads, pimples etc. I have combination skin and this is not irritating. You would have to use it for a couple to a few weeks to see obvious results. Would absolutely recommend this salicylic acid product to anyone struggling with acne/ clogged pores, especially because it is so valuable!Has helped to keep skin clear
It took a while to notice improvement but it has helped to keep my skin clear.Perfect
Only had it for a little while but it has reduced spots and faded dark marks where spots had been. I just put a thin layer around my chin, as that is where I get hormonal spots.My new best friend!!!
Normally, I never write reviews. I either like a product or I don't. I've enjoyed The Ordinary products for a while now, but never went "this is to die for"... Until now. Hear me out. I have persistent acne from hormonal fluctuations and they have been SO painful and red and damaging to my confidence. I tried the Salicylic acid Masque and found decent results so wanted to give this a go. I've be...Read MoreAn excellent product for spot application
As part of my evening skin care routine I use this for spot application if I feel any sign of a blemish appearing. Especially around my chin area. I apply after cleansing and toning before any serums and moisturiser.Amazing !
It's an amazing product for skin prone to acne. It improved my skin and made it clear. I love it!the ordinary is the best
improves my acne prone skin. careful not to use to much. but my skin has become clearer and brighter with use.Great if you're on a budget
Salicylic Acid is such a great ingredient and this product does not disappoint,i use it every few days and I've definitely seen an improvement in my congestion.Brighter, Clearer Skin
Such a lovely product, with continued use, your skin becomes brighter, clearer and "glowy" however, it can irritate more sensitive skin types.
