The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a clarifying treatment designed to target congestion, excess oil, and uneven texture. Formulated with 2% salicylic acid, this rinse-off charcoal and clay-based mask helps exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve the appearance of dull or blemish-prone skin. It works deep within the skin’s surface to fight breakouts and reduce blackheads without over-drying or irritating the skin.

The masque balances oil production and leaves the skin feeling smooth, renewed, and noticeably clearer thanks to its infusion of squalane, charcoal, and Amazonian clays. Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types benefit greatly from it, particularly those who experience clogged pores and sporadic breakouts. The non-drip, creamy formula is ideal for a weekly skin detox because it spreads easily and rinses off clean.
