The Ordinary’s offering of pore purifiers just got even bigger. If you’re already obsessed with their Salicylic Acid 2% Masque, then allow us to introduce you to the Salicylic Anhydrous 2% Solution: a twice-daily, non-irritating serum tailored to congested skin with visible pores and uneven texture. The water-free formula balances slow-release salicylic acid (the industry-favourite exfoliating ingredient that helps to regulate oil levels and purify pores) with soothing squalane to gently target textural irregularities and problem pores.
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!
AM or PM. The serum can be used on the entire face or as a spot treatment. This product should not be used in the same regimen as: peptides, direct acids, retinoids, direct or ethylated vitamin C, EUK 134 0.1%.
Squalane, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pentylene Glycol, Salicylic Acid, Oleic/Linoleic/Linolenic Polyglycerides, 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol, Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.

It works
Is it good? Meh. It works to dry out my zits a bit but definitely doesn’t get rid of them alone. I use it on my t zone and chin to prevent acne rather than treat. For that I need a more concentrated product. I don’t think it does more than an exfoliating toner for me, maybe if you have more acne prone skin this will work? I have dry skin and just get texture with some breakouts.Â
Report this reviewGreat for sensitive skin
Great for dissolving sebum in pores. Does not irritate or dry my skin. Repurchased bc it works so well and it gentle on my skin
Report this reviewVery gentle, great for sensitive/prone to dryness skin
Just what I needed for my sensitive skin on Tretinoin. The texture is perfect if your skin is on the dryer side (oily texture) and you don’t struggle with any major skin problems, but some spots or blackheads sporadically. I wouldn’t recommend it for oily skin, but for normal, sensitive to dry - yes (in your pm routine).Â
Report this reviewGot it to dry out my zits
Got this to use as a spot treatment and while I don’t think it makes a huge difference it definitely helps dry them out a bit.Â
Report this reviewNot as good as it used to be
Absolutely loved this before they changed the formula. I still like it now, even though I feel like it's not as effective as the old formula. It feels like an oil and doesn't sink in to the skin, so I can see that some people with oily skin like myself will not like that feeling. However I don't have any issue with my make up sliding around or my face getting oilier than usual throughout the day and it does still what it's supposed to do so I do enjoy it. I just liked it better before.
Report this reviewPass
it goes on very oily. A little bit goes a long way. I don't like as I feel my skin gets too slick from use. It's supposed to be the opposite.
Report this reviewToo oily.
First ingredient is Squalane. I regret not looking at ingredients before buying it. Can't use it in daytime, skin is left too oily. Will use it up for nighttime.
Report this reviewTHIS FIXED MY SKIN
HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT! This will be a part of my routine forever! I have no small bumps or uneven texture. No spots, blemishes or even dullness since using this product. Results were clear after just 3 days.
Report this reviewGreat stuff
Didn't expect to love this one! I wanted the OG salicylic acid 2% solution but as it was sold out for so long, I ordered this one on a whim. It has worked wonders! My skin is SO smooth, I have way less pimples, my pores look cleaner and it doesn't irritate my very sensitive skin (which the regular salicylic acid one does), even when I use it both day and night. My skin is glowing, something I've never experienced before (dealing with acne for over 20 years). Love it!
