What is it?
The Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum by The Ordinary is an exfoliating body serum for blemish-prone skin to help minimise the appearance of pores, smooth uneven texture and balance the look of uneven tone.

What it does
The Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum is designed for blemish-prone skin to target textural irregularities for clearer, smoother-looking skin. The formula offers surface-level exfoliation through the inclusion of 0.5% salicylic acid, which helps to encourage the natural shedding of dead skin. Salicylic acid benefits for skin include its lipophilic nature, which means it can exfoliate to help clear skin of dirt and debris that can block pores, which helps to minimise the look of pore congestion. Tested specifically for use on the body, this salicylic acid body serum has a nozzle applicator that allows for precise dispensation of the formula to target specific blemish-prone areas.
