Why you need it
Why you need it
The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque has an oil-free formula infused with deep cleansing charcoals and clays. It brightens dull, lacklustre skin and helps to minimise blackheads, breakouts and blemishes. It also helps to clear acne and acne-prone skin, balancing excess oil and actively working to clarify clogged pores. Use all over the face (avoid lips and eye area) or as a targeted treatment just where it's needed for skin that looks smooth and clear once more.
Targets dull skin and textural irregularities
Exfoliates, smoothes and clarifies skin
Great for oily or blemish-prone skin
Salicylic Acid is an oil-soluble BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) which makes it ideal for targeting the removal of dead skin cells on the surface of oily and blemish-prone skin, revealing more radiant skin beneath. Charcoal and clays are ingredients renowned for their deep cleansing abilities due to their porosity and large surface area available for adsorption. They aid the removal of facial impurities that would otherwise remain on the skin surface and clog pores. In comparison to Deciem's The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution , Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a rinse-off formula. Leave on for no longer than 10 minutes in order to maximize the exfoliating benefits.

Q: Is this mask suitable for all skin types?
A: While The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Mask is formulated for blemish-prone skin, it can be beneficial for most skin types, especially oily and combination skin. Those with very sensitive or dry skin should patch-test first and use with caution.
Q: Can I use this mask if I have active breakouts?
A: Yes, salicylic acid is known to help treat and reduce active breakouts. However, avoid applying it to broken or highly irritated skin.
Q: How often should I use The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Mask?
A: It's recommended to use the mask once or twice a week. Overuse might cause irritation or excessive dryness, so it's essential to monitor how your skin reacts and adjust the frequency accordingly.
Q: Can I combine this mask with other The Ordinary products?
A: Yes, you can combine it with other products from The Ordinary. However, to avoid potential over-exfoliation or irritation, avoid using it on the same day as other strong acids or peels. This mask shouldn’t be used alongside direct vitamin C.
Q: Does this mask dry out the skin?

A: Typically, The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Mask does not cause downtime or visible peeling. However, some might experience slight redness or a tingling sensation during use. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
Q: Should I avoid the sun after using this mask?
A: Yes, exfoliating products like this mask can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, especially after using exfoliating products.
Q: Is it safe to use The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Mask during pregnancy?
A: While salicylic acid is generally considered safe in topical products, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist before using any new skincare products during pregnancy.
