Avis Masque Acide Salicylique The Ordinary

Description

In addition to its star ingredient, salicylic acid, The ordinary's Salicylic Acid Mask a 2 % contains powdered charcoal. The evaluation of its detoxifying effect on the skin is visible on several levels, and its use presents no contraindications. In the opinion of The ordinary teams, charcoal's antioxidant content prevents skin aging by neutralizing free radicals. Charcoal immediately matifies the T-zone, and cleanses it over time.

Phytic acid is a substance naturally present in cereals, legumes and oilseeds. It is known to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production. In this way, it helps reduce pigmentation spots caused by exposure to UV rays, signs of ageing and residual marques from acne scars.

Squalane also has a moisturizing and emollient action, ranking third among the ingredients in The ordinary's Salicylic Acid 2 % Mask. Although squalane is fat-soluble, it reinforces the skin's protective barrier without making it greasy or shiny to the touch.

How do I apply The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Mask?

The salicylic acid 2% mask is applied to thoroughly cleansed, dry skin. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with plenty of water. Thanks to its many ingredients, it does not cause skin dryness, but I recommend that you moisturize your skin afterwards. You can use Hyalu B5 serum and Natural Moisturizing factors from The ordinary to moisturize your skin.

Focus on salicylic acid:

Salicylic acid is an active ingredient naturally synthesized by certain types of plant, such as meadowsweet and willow. Although the term "acid" may seem frightening at first, its beneficial action on the epidermis makes it a choice ingredient in many skincare products for oily skin or skin prone to pores and blackheads. Salicylic acid is lipophilic, enabling it to deeply unclog pores.

What products should Salicylic Acid 2% masque not be used with?

I wouldn't say there are any products to avoid, but rather to avoid using it if you have dry skin or skin sensitized by harsh cosmetics.
