Rlly good!
It's a really good product, great for sensitive skin. I saw improvement in the first week! The only thing is that it has a kinda funky smell. I use it at night with the pink serum.

A gorgeous product
I've been using The Ordinary’s Salicylic Acid 2% for a couple of weeks and it’s honestly a game-changer for breakouts! It clears up pimples, helps unclog pores, and smooths out texture without feeling heavy or greasy. My skin feels cleaner, less congested, and more even.
Grate!
