“An oily, blemish-prone skin rescuer, The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque targets active breakouts and uneven texture by smoothing and purifying your complexion without drying it out.” - Hannah, Escentual Beauty Team.

 

Why You’ll Love The Ordinary Salicylic Acid Mask:

  • Purifying face mask that targets skin tone and blemishes.
  • Targets breakouts and clogged pores.
  • Exfoliates the skin for a smooth complexion.
  • Features a non-drying, rinse off clay-charcoal formula.

 

What You Need To Know:

Revitalise your complexion with The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque, a purifying face masque for oily, blemish and acne-prone skin that targets textural irregularities and dull tones. The mask’s ink-black, jelly-like formula is enriched with 2% salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that gently exfoliates the skin to remove dead cells, cleanse pores and reduce inflammation. Clogged pores are cleansed by charcoal and Amazonian clays as they absorb impurities to reveal brighter skin beneath. When washed off, skin feels balanced, clear and radiant, while future breakouts are minimised.

 

Why It’s Escentual:

We love it when skincare creates an immediate effect, and the Salicylic Acid Masque certainly does just that as it instantly makes your skin look and feel smoother, while unveiling a healthy-looking glow. And unlike many other clay masks, this one won’t dry your skin out either, thanks to its nourishing addition of squalene and its natural scent.

The black coloured face mask is effective yet gentle on the skin, cleansing your pores and removing dead skin cells without irritating your face. Charcoal and clay masks are a firm favourite of beauty bloggers and blemished skin types because of their natural ability to detox the skin. They’re excellent at removing excess oils and bacteria from the top layer of your skin, which is why they’re so good at preventing future breakouts from occurring. The squeezy tube is another benefit to acne-prone skin types because there'll be no bacteria transfer between uses.

 

The Best Way To Use It:

Use no more than twice a week on clean, dry skin. Apply across the face using your fingertips, ensuring that you avoid the eye area. Leave on for a maximum of 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

SPF is always essential but especially after using this mask because salicylic acid makes the skin more sensitive to UV rays, meaning that it might burn more easily.
