Product Overview

Deep clean your pores and restore skin clarity with The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque. This intensive treatment is specifically formulated for oily and blemish-prone skin that suffers from a lackluster tone and textural irregularities. By combining a 2% concentration of Salicylic Acid (BHA) with high-quality Kaolin Clay and Charcoal, this masque acts like a vacuum for your pores, lifting away facial impurities, dead skin cells, and excess sebum. The result is a refreshed, noticeably smoother complexion with a radiant, matte finish.

Key Benefits

Deep Pore Decongestion: Salicylic Acid penetrates deep into the follicle to dissolve the debris that causes blackheads and blemishes.
Instant Oil Absorption: Infused with Charcoal and Kaolin Clay to soak up excess oils and reduce surface shine.
Refines Skin Texture: Effectively removes dead skin cell buildup for a softer, "polished" skin feel.
Boosts Radiance: Eliminates the "dull" look caused by environmental impurities and clogged pores.
Targeted Blemish Support: Helps dry out active congestion and prevent new breakouts from forming.
10-Minute Treatment: A high-performance facial that works in just 10 minutes, making it a perfect weekly boost.
Soothes Redness: Formulated with 4-t-Butylcyclohexanol to help calm skin sensitivity during the exfoliation process.
Rinses Cleanly: Despite its deep color, the mask rinses off easily without leaving a residue or staining the skin.
Professional Strength: Delivers clinical-grade BHA results in a controlled, easy-to-use home format.
Vegan & Cruelty-Free: A clean formulation that respects your skin and the environment.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): A lipophilic (oil-soluble) acid that can bypass surface oil to enter the pore lining, breaking down the bonds that hold clogs together.
Kaolin Clay: A gentle but effective mineral clay that draws out impurities without stripping the skin’s moisture.
Charcoal Powder: Acts as a magnet for dirt and environmental pollutants for a deeper clean.
