CLAIM TO FAME: A rinse-off mask that targets lackluster tone and textural irregularities

FAST FACTS: 2 percent salicylic acid targets the removal of dead skin cells on the surface of oily and blemish-prone skin; infused with deep-cleansing charcoal and clays to aid the removal of facial impurities that would otherwise remain on the skin surface and clog pores; enhances the appearance of smoothness and clarity; works to reveal more radiant skin beneath; leaves skin feeling refreshed; features a pH level of 3.50 to 4.50; formulated without alcohol, oil, silicone, nut, and gluten; cruelty-free and vegan

PERFECT FOR: Oily, breakout-prone complexions

“I am continually blown away by the ordinary!! The texture of this masque when putting it on feels really expensive. I loved the results after just one time, there was no redness in my face at all after. My skin felt amazing and I had zero irritation. My skin just loves the ordinary and I am so glad I have tried it. Thank you so much!!”

“Very good and clearing mask, no allergic reactions yet. I read somewhere it doesn’t dry up when applied, but I think it does. However, it does not dry out the skin and feels smooth when rinsing off. I am using it to keep hormonal acne at bay and hopefully stop using salicylic acid on regular basis.”

HOW TO USE
Use once or twice a week on thoroughly clean, dry skin. Do not use on wet skin. Apply evenly across face using fingertips, avoiding the eye area. Leave on for no more than 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Do not use on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes both during application and rinse off.

Patch testing prior to use is advised: Apply the product as directed to a small area once a day for three days to test if you are sensitive to this product. If you develop severe irritation, hives, swelling of eyes and mouth, blistering, or difficulty breathing, rinse off, cease use and consult a physician right away. Keep out of reach of children.

Sunburn Alert: This product contains a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.

Contraindications: This formula should not be used on sensitive, peeling, or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note and other warnings in provided Directions.

Note: While exfoliating acids can result in quick visible benefits, we generally suggest the use of indirect forms of skin exfoliation in favor of direct forms such as this formula due to potential inflammation and sensitivity associated with acids.
