The Ordinary - skincarereview101 review for Salicylic Acid 2% Solution

~Gifted, but opinions are my own~ #pr #gifted #sponsored #GiftedFromOctolyandTheOrdinarygiftedme 🦋PRODUCT AND SIZING: The Ordinary, Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, 30 ml 🎁PRESENTATION: This alcohol-free, vegan, cruelty-free clear serum comes in a frosted glass bottle with a dropper. The dropper is a bit hard to use. 💦STAR INGREDIENTS: It contains salicylic acid known for treating acne, reducing sebum secretion, and reducing inflammation. 🌺TEXTURE and SCENT: This clear solution is viscous and has a bit of medicine-like scent. It has no added fragrance. 👨‍🦱 MY THOUGHTS: I have been having acne issues for several weeks now so I was excited to try this product, but I found the directions a bit confusing. In the beginning, I used this in AM and PM, but I later found out via the website you have to use this in PM (the website also lists anything that I should avoid while using this product). I was not sure whether I could use a toner before applying this. The direction says you have to apply it to a clean face. In the end, I applied this to a clean skin. But if anyone has any experience using this with a toner, I would love to hear it because I love using a toner. This turns white and absorbs clear with an initially sticky finish. This product does seem to speed up the healing of my acne. 👐 PAIRING: I used this with various products, including Sollalla cream and Nineless sun cream. Others may have different experiences based on skin types, other products they use, environmental conditions, etc.
