The Ordinary For Acne Prone Skin & Pimples

Blemishes can be a frustrating and stressful experience for many people, and finding the right products to combat them can be overwhelming. Luckily, the Ordinary offers a range of affordable and effective skincare products specifically designed for blemish-prone skin. Here are a few of our favs:

Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
Niacinamide and Zinc are two powerhouse ingredients that work together to regulate oil production, reduce redness, and control breakouts. Niacinamide also helps to improve the appearance of enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation. This lightweight serum is perfect for daily use and can be used morning and night.

Salicylic Acid 2% Masque
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin, unclogs pores, and reduces redness. This masque contains 2% salicylic acid and also includes charcoal and clay to absorb excess oil and impurities. It is recommended to use this masque once or twice a week to help keep breakouts at bay.

Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
This is an excellent spot treatment that can be applied directly to troublesome blemishes. Those with robust skin that tends towards oily or combination can use The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution as an all-over treatment every other day, or every few days to maintain a clear, refined complexion. 


The Ordinary offers a range of effective and affordable skincare products that are specifically designed for blemish-prone skin. Incorporating these products into your skincare routine can help to regulate oil production, exfoliate the skin, reduce redness, and keep the skin hydrated and healthy.
