Salicylic Acid 2% Masque | The Ordinary

A clarifying face masque that targets dull, blemish-prone skin.

TARGETS: Signs of Congestion, Dullness, Textural Irregularities

SUITED TO: Oily Skin

FORMAT: Masque

Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a charcoal- and clay-infused formula that targets lacklustre tone and textural irregularities, leaving your skin clean and refreshed. With the help of salicylic acid, a lipophilic BHA known to target pore congestion, this deeply cleansing masque removes dead skin cells and excess oil, which promotes soft and smooth skin. The clay and charcoal absorb facial impurities that would otherwise clog pores, helping to boost radiance.
