This water-based serum delivers 2% salicylic acid in a gel-like texture, with saccharide isomerate included to help offset some of the drying effect the acid can have. It works on the same principle as The Ordinary's anhydrous version but absorbs faster and feels lighter on skin. It's meant for spot treatment or all-over use on acne-prone areas a few times a week.
Key Concentrations: Salicylic Acid 2%
