The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum 240ml
Product Description
The Salicylic Acid 0.5% Body Serum is designed to treat acne and allow skin to heal. This body acne treatment helps to give 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 penetrate pores to control acne blemishes, while also improving the appearance of redness associated with acne.
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 areas of acne.
Testing shows
- Starts to clear body acne in 3 days
- Helps prevent new acne blemishes from forming
- Reduces redness associated with acne in 72 hours*
*Clinical testing on 32 people, 2 x per day for 3 days.

Great product to remove stubborn hairs after laser
I bought this product to help remove stubborn hairs after laser hair removal in hormonal areas around my thighs and knees and it has been absolutely amazing. I've noticed significantly less hairs which means I've been able to reduce the frequency of laser hair removal visits.
I've been applying it twice a week straight after my shower and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it dries and then I apply moisturiser. I'll be getting another bottle when this one runs out

It works
It’s the first product I’ve used that has actually helped reduce acne type spots on my sides. It’s easy to apply, dries in quickly and doesn’t have a strong smell

A little more viscosity please!
I believe this product has made a difference to congestion on my back, shoulders and chest. HOWEVER, it would benefit tremendously from being even slightly more viscous. It has a very watery consistency and I therefore feel like I've probably lost about 15% of the bottle to run-off from the areas of congestion to unaffected areas of my body or the floor! I'm on the website right now to place another order of Ordinary products and I'm trying to decide whether to order this again or not.

AMAZING!
Absolutely amazed by this. I have had bacne for a while now. I used a back scrubber brush and random body wash in the bath last night and applied the glycolic toner and then this after. Upon waking up today, my back is the smoothest it has been in months.

Terrible packaging design
Early days to judge the product's effectiveness but it certainly gets no stars for packaging. Although described as a serum, the product has a very thin, watery consistency, and it's impossible to control it with the type of bottle it comes in. Usually end up with more product than you need and it runs/drips everywhere. I would recommend that The Ordinary consider a rollerball bottle for this product.

Multi-use
Gifted. This is such a great multi-use product. I use in conjuction with the body lotion but reading the reviews I now will try and use it on my scalp, and my face! I noticed my legs didn't feel like strawberries anymore when using this and it is great for getting rid of little bumps/ ingrown hairs on the body. I would definitely say use it with the body lotion though, or a moisturiser... and you'll have baby skin :)

Okay for sensitive skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone with oily, acne-prone skin, I was looking for something effective to help clear breakouts and minimize pores. this was gifted bY TheOrdinary. I honestly haven’t noticed much difference but i need to be more consistent with it, i try to use it on armpits/bacne but i have sensitive skin and it sometimes burns!

Too watery
I've just started using it so not sure on effect yet of clearing up my back acne. It's not what I would call a serum though, more like a toner and very liquid so quite hard to apply to body. I think it would be better slightly thicker or as some have said in a spray bottle.
