Good product
My skin type is dry combination and it thanks me! I chose the version with oil, so this one, because especially in winter my skin needs care in addition to exfoliation. Impurities have clearly decreased. I use it alternately with retinol (not at the same time!). #lykoreview6087 views - Most helpful negativeThe post was made 2 yearsRating: 2 out of 5
3/10
I really hoped this one would work for me. Since it's a decently strong acid and i had seen reviews of the other one (same brand, clear botle) saying it was too strong and caused a lot of irritation i thought this would work well for my sensitive skin. While it dose not sting and mostly just feels like oil on tbe face for me it did not do anything, with very consistent usage i saw no results, however when i picked up the clear bottle, results showed within a few days for me. + very gentle + cheep + works well to keep legs smooth - sits on top of the skin dose not absorb - small to no results - very much only an evening product - dose not play well with most other products - botle kinda leakes4705 views - The user's roll: Lyko Creator.

Good
This product is an effective exfoliation for those with oily or acne-prone skin who often experience irritation from common acids. Unlike the water-based variant, this solution is water-free (anhydrous) and based on squalane, which makes it feel more like a facial oil than a serum. This makes it significantly gentler and less drying for the skin. When used, it is clearly noticeable that it works deeply to dissolve clogged pores and even out skin texture, but without the stinging sensation that salicylic acid can sometimes cause. Since the formula is oily, it takes a while to fully absorb, so it is best used in your evening routine to avoid the skin looking shiny during the day. In summary, it is a very affordable and long-lasting product for those who want to combat impurities in a gentler way. If you have dry but blemished skin, this is a perfect alternative, while those with extremely oily skin may find the oil base a bit heavy. Remember to always use sunscreen during the day when using acids in your skincare!65 views - The post was made 2 weeksRating: 5 out of 5verified customer
Very good
Notice a clear difference when I don't use it. Makes my skin so soft and clean, especially around the nose where I often get clogged pores. A part of my skincare routine I don't skip!221 views - The post was made 2 months
Hi
How can I get this into my routine? I use C vitamin in the morning and Retinal in the evening. Thanks for the answer.1302 views- The user's roll: Farmaceut på Lyko. The comment was made 2 monthsThank you yourself, and yes, you can absolutely do that as long as you feel it’s not too much for your skin and that it thrives with both types of acids without feeling over-treated 😊

Good
I like this and notice a difference after using it, but it is very oily and takes a long time to absorb into the skin.1692 views - The post was made 4 monthsRating: 5 out of 5verified customer

Allergic reaction
I had an allergic reaction to this. Blisters and swelling on the cheeks with itching. It worked to take antihistamines. I usually don't react to their regular salicylic acid.1559 views- The comment was made 4 monthsI also reacted to their Squalane cleanser a couple of years ago. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone, which is found in both Salicylic acid Anhydrous solution and Squalane cleanser. This is what my eyes looked like a day after using it. And for reference, a picture where I don't have an ongoing allergic reaction 😅

Used together with Retinal?
Can this be used on the same day as retinal? If not, how do you recommend spacing it and retinal on different days?1933 views- The user's roll: Lyko Creator. The comment was made 5 monthsHeihei 👋 The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution is a fat-soluble BHA that exfoliates the skin and helps with clogged pores. Retinal (or retinol) stimulates cell renewal and can be quite active. Both products can cause irritation — especially if used together. Therefore, it is not recommended to use salicylic acid and retinal on the same night. The combination can cause dryness, peeling, or sensitivity 🥹 You can alternate between them every other night, or use salicylic acid 2–3 times a week and retinal on the other days — depending on how much your skin can tolerate. Wishing you a nice day ahead 💓2 likes

Not for me
I bought this to gently start with BHA acid, but I felt the effect was lacking, so I’m using a 2% BHA acid with zinc instead. This might be better in the winter when my skin gets very dry, so I’ll test it again then. (I have a very oily skin type with very large pores, and I get clogged very easily even though I also get easily dry)2144 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko.

Doesn't work. Maybe I tried for too short a time, but I used it for two weeks and saw no difference.2261 views- The user's roll: Customer service at Lyko.
