The Ordinary The Acne Set with Salicylic Acid (also widely known as The Clear Set) is a targeted, three-step skincare routine designed for blemish-prone, oily, or congested skin. It combines a gentle cleanser, a blemish-fighting serum, and a lightweight moisturizer to help clear up acne while maintaining skin barrier health.
What's Included in the Set
-
Glucoside Foaming Cleanser (1.7 oz / 50 mL): A gentle, gel-like foaming cleanser formulated with plant-derived glucosides to effectively remove dirt, excess oil, and impurities without stripping or disrupting the skin barrier.
-
Salicylic Acid 2% Solution (1.0 oz / 30 mL): A water-based serum containing 2% salicylic acid (a beta-hydroxy acid, or BHA). Because BHA is oil-soluble, it can deeply penetrate inside pores to dissolve trapped sebum, clear out dead skin cells, and target active acne blemishes.
-
Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan (1.0 oz / 30 mL): A lightweight, clear-gel moisturizer packed with amino acids, fatty acids, hyaluronic acid, and beta-glucan (derived from reishi mushrooms) to deliver all-day hydration and support a compromised skin barrier.
Key Benefits
-
Unclogs Pores: Breaks down pore-clogging debris and oil to reduce the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples.
-
Gentle Cleansing & Hydration: Unlike many harsh acne regimens that dry out the entire face, this set pairs an active exfoliant with a barrier-soothing gel moisturizer to keep skin balanced.
-
Clean Formula: Vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without alcohol, silicones, or added synthetic fragrances.
