The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque: Salicylic Acid 2% Masque is a charcoal and clay-infused formula that targets lackluster tone and textural irregularities, leaving your skin clean and refreshed. With the help of salicylic acid, a lipophilic BHA known to target pore congestion, this deeply cleansing masque removes dead skin cells and excess oil, which promotes soft and smooth skin. The clay and charcoal absorb facial impurities that would otherwise clog pores, helping to boost radiance.
