How to Use Step 1. Cleanse your face and gently pat your skin dry before applying The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque - 50ml. Use this face mask after cleansing and before applying serums, treatments or moisturisers. Step 2.

Avoid the eye area and do not apply to broken or irritated skin. Step 4. Leave the masque on for up to 10 minutes. Do not leave the product on longer than recommended. Step 5. Rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove the masque completely. Step 6. Gently pat your skin dry and follow with a moisturiser.

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a facial mask designed to deeply cleanse the pores using a high concentration of salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), combined with black charcoal and Amazonian clays for a balancing effect on oily and blemish-prone skin.
The masque is suitable for all skin types except sensitive skin. It is particularly ideal for normal to oily and combination skin, especially for those experiencing skin texture irregularities and impurities.
The 2% salicylic acid acts as an oil-soluble exfoliant, targeting problematic pores and blackheads. The charcoal pulls out impurities, while the Amazonian clays help absorb excess oil and prevent shine, ultimately improving the appearance of enlarged pores.
The key ingredients include 2% salicylic acid, black charcoal derived from vegetable matter, Amazonian clays, and squalane for hydration. These components work together to cleanse the skin and balance oil levels without causing dryness.
Use the masque once or twice a week on completely clean, dry skin. Apply evenly across the face with your fingertips, avoiding the eye area. Leave it on for no more than 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water.
It is recommended to avoid using this masque if you have sensitive skin. Patch testing on a small area is advisable to check for any adverse reactions before applying it to the entire face.
The masque targets concerns such as acne, breakouts, blackheads, and oiliness. It specifically aims to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores.
Yes, The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a vegan product, meaning it does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.

This didnt really help my pores at all. It did improve a little but not enough to repurchase unfortunately.
