Perfect for my skin!

Like others, I bought this thinking it was the other salicylic acid product. HOWEVER it ended up being great for someone with both dry and acne prone skin. I've never used any form of face oil but I'm now converted. I use this at night after face wash, before a bit of moisturizer- nice and simple. It will leave your face slick, but that won't last long. I've always struggled with dryness, but didn't want to slather my sensitive, acne prone skin with pore clogging, thick products. This product solves that and keeps my skin care simple (one product, treating 2 things at once- acne and dryness). Love it!

Too strong for mature skin

This is VERY drying for me. When applied with moisturizer, there is just too much product on my face. My pores were minimized the next morning though. Had to buy barrier cream to treat the dryness this caused.

GETS RID OF ACNE FAST

i’ve been using this for around 2 years now off and on, be aware that you will start purging if you use this but it’s pretty worth it. it doesn’t get rid of acne completely but it gets rid of it fast, i use this every morning bc i have pretty bad skin, and when i go to wash my face at night most of the pimples will be flattened by then. it’s not drying but it is a little oily, i tried the other salysilic by the ordinary and it give me a chemical burn once so i’m sticking with this one.

bad smell

Only used it once because I cannot stand the smell. I thought it was somehow a false in that specific one and only happened to me, but I now see other reviews mentioning the same. I cannot say about the efficiency, though I am pretty satisfied with any other products that I used. Do you recommend any uses other than the face? I feel sorry to not use it again.

Worst salicylic product I’ve ever used

I bought this product since the salicylic product I usually use wasn’t in store so I picked this up instead since I’ve used the ordinary product before and they’ve worked well for me. Not the case with this one at all. I have combination skin and suffer from the occasional cystic pimple around my time of the month. My skin had been absolutely clear prior to using this product. Once I used this product I developed white heads galore on my forehead and cystic pimples on my cheeks which I NEVER get only on the chin area around my time of the month. I gave it a try for a full month and my skin only got worse. This is most definitely not made for combination or oily skin. DO NOT RECOMMEND WHATSOEVER!
