The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a clarifying face treatment formulated specifically for blemish-prone skin. This charcoal and clay-infused formula contains 2% salicylic acid to target pore congestion, remove dead skin cells, and improve skin texture and tone. This masque should be used on clean, dry skin 1-2 times per week. Apply evenly across face avoiding the eye area and leave on for no more than 10 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with lukewarm water. Contains beta hydroxy acid (BHA) which may increase sun sensitivity - use sunscreen and limit sun exposure during use and for one week after. Patch testing is recommended before first use. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a physician.
