Had it up to here with congested pores? The Ordinary's Salicylic Anhydrous 2% Solution is here to help! The water-free formula harnesses squalane for a gentler (still effective!) delivery of the beloved BHA, meaning that you can reap its pore-purifying properties without irritation.

Ideal if you’re new to salicylic acid or simply want a gentle everyday treatment, the lightweight formula effectively targets uneven texture and congestion. As you may have guessed, the 2% salicylic acid is the star of the show; the hardworking BHA (beta hydroxy acid) exfoliates away dead cells both on the skin’s surface and within the pores to reveal brighter and clearer skin beneath. Its purifying properties are balanced by non-comedogenic squalane and hydrating polyglycerides that help to slowly release the active ingredient and comfort your skin. Win, win!
