The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum | Exfoliating Treatment for Blemish-Prone Skin

The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum is a targeted exfoliating treatment crafted for blemish-prone skin on the body. This lightweight, water-based formula delivers surface-level exfoliation to help refresh texture and even tone without heavy residue or fragrance.

How it works

Formulated with 0.5% salicylic acid, it gently lifts dead skin and helps clear pore buildup. Its lipophilic nature enables the acid to penetrate pores, potentially supporting a clearer appearance and reducing the redness associated with blemishes. Tested specifically for body use, the serum dispenses through a nozzle for precise, targeted application.

• TARGETS BLEMISH-PRONE SKIN: Designed for the body, helps minimize the appearance of pores and smooth texture.
• EXFOLIATES AND UNCLOGS PORES: 0.5% salicylic acid gently exfoliates to reduce pore congestion and blemishes.
• VISIBLE RESULTS: Starts to clear body acne in 3 days in a small clinical test; may help prevent new blemishes.
• PRECISION APPLICATOR: Nozzle enables targeted treatment of specific areas.
• GENTLE YET EFFECTIVE: Water-based formula suitable for most skin types, exfoliating without excessive drying.

What to expect and how to use

• Expect smoother skin over time, with improved texture and more even tone in treated areas.
• Start with clean, dry skin; apply a small amount directly to problem spots and allow to dry.
• Use 1–2 times daily on affected areas; follow with a moisturizer if needed.
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; discontinue if irritation occurs.
• Patch test new areas before broader use and adjust frequency as needed.

Results can vary by user, but the product is designed to fit into a body skincare routine without added heaviness, offering the possibility of clearer, smoother-looking skin over time.
