Review: Pimples, acne, ouchies, & scabs be gone! - I don’t buy those OTC acne/pimple creams with 2% salicylic acid anymore! This is my go-to for all of my facial issues. Also gets rid of lines, dark spots and whiteheads. Very strong so use sparingly and if starting out- apply only to spots - then use a moisturizer. Each face has its own sensitivity so monitor yours. This brand is high quality and affordable compared to others. Have purchased multiple times over the years. Product works!
Review: Works under most makeup I've tried - Minimal/no residue - Effective, yet mostly gentle - GENERAL: I've repurchased this countless times over the years. This is a no-frills, thin/lightweight formula (see my video) to use salicylic acid at a higher % than available in most stores, not from an overpriced brand, and still not too strong - 'goldilocks zone' of acid %, in my opinion. Salicylic acid penetrates pores deeper than other alpha hydroxy acids, to breakdown skin cells and sebum, which is why it's so highly recommended for acne prone skin. I recommend not using it more than once per day consistently, however, as that could be irritating. Keep it off of your sensitive/dryer skin areas, like around your eyes TROUBLESHOOTING: If you notice a breakout of small pustules, you're using it too much, especially if you use any other acids/exfoliants, physical (like a buff puff) or chemical (like glycolic acid or a retinol). This doesn't mean it's no good for you, just that you may need to use it less frequently/in a lower concentration, and alternate days with it. I use a moisturizer on delicate/dry areas first, then apply the acid last, so the lotion acts as a barrier to the acid in addition to not applying it to those areas. If also using Benzoyl Peroxide - that could be harsh, so look for a 2.5% formula to prevent drying/irritation. UNDER MAKEUP: I've used it under both silicone and water-based makeup, and both work well without causing pilling or any other texture issues. PACKAGING: Very nice glass bottle and dropper that I've never experienced leakage with, even during travel. That said, I do put it in a ziplock snack size bag just in case!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When will the 2% daily solution come back? 5% is too harsh for me and the 2% is the only thing that kept my skin clear.**
A: third request for the return of your 2% solution - I've tried several alternative 2% formulations that are less effective or more irritating. The Ordinary's 2% salicylic acid has been out of stock when I check for months, which is why I found the PURE brand version.  Really missing it with my latest breakout, so I hope you start selling again soon!!

**Q: what is the FULL ingredients list for this product?**
A: 5% Salicylic Acid suspended in Propylene Glycol

**Q: Can I leave on skin and then apply niacinamide with zinc then moisturizer?**
A: It is a peel so it will get flaky if you leave on. The directions state to rince after 2-5 minutes, which I recommend until you can see how your sensitivity is to it, you can add layers. Also to moisturize after you rince would be a good idea.

**Q: The pictures are a little hard to read, and there is some conflicting statements, can you please provide me with a complete ingredient list? Thanks**
A: This product contains only two ingredients: Propylene Glycol and Salicylic Acid 5%.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helps loosen my scalp Psoriasis plaques, works better than a pricy 3% shampoo (for me, at least)!
*by B***M on March 11, 2026*

I gave it four stars instead of five because for some reason, it's an oily solution, and it's also pricier than another 5% Salicylic acid I've purchased from here (that isn't oily). It did work well for me, I just didn't care for the oiliness or the higher price.
