Face care set

The The Ordinary Signs of Congestion Set contains:

• 1 x The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser, 50 ml
• 1 x The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, 30 ml
• 1 x The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Masque, 50 ml
• 1 x The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA, 30 ml

Squalane Cleanser: The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser is a gentle cleanser designed to remove makeup and skin impurities while leaving skin feeling smooth and hydrated. Being non-comedogenic and soap-free, this formula is designed to be gentle enough for daily use without over-drying the skin, making it suitable for all skin types.

How to use: apply product to the palm of your hands. Rub hands together to warm it so that it melts into an oil. Apply well to dry face and rinse with warm water.

Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%: A high potency vitamin and mineral formula designed to reduce the appearance of blemishes and pore size.

• Niacinamide has been shown to regulate sebum production.
• Zinc helps balance visible sebum activity

How to use: apply to entire face morning and evening. Do not use in conjunction with vitamin C.

Salicylic Acid 2% Masque: Salicylic Acid 2% Masque helps cover a dull lackluster complexion and uneven skin. Enriched with charcoal and clay, the formula aims to make the skin's appearance smoother and purer, thus refreshing the skin overall. Due to its nature, salicylic acid combines perfectly with lipids on the skin surface.

Salicylic acid is lipid-loving and therefore a suitable ingredient to remove dead skin cells on the surface, with the aim of exposing radiant skin underneath. Charcoal and clay are known for their deep cleansing ability. This is because both substances have porosity and a large surface area for adsorption. Thus, they help remove facial impurities that would otherwise remain on the skin's surface and clog pores. Compared to Salicylic Acid 2% Solution, Salicylic Acid 2% Masque must be washed off after a contact time. This should not exceed 10 minutes to maximize the exfoliating effects.

Application: Use once or twice a week on thoroughly cleansed, dry skin. Do not use on wet skin. Apply evenly to face with fingertips, avoiding the eye area. Do not leave on for more than 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Avoid eye contour and avoid contact with eyes during application and rinsing.

Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA: A natural moisturizer for the skin.

Natural Moisturizing Factors are elements that protect and keep the outer layer of the skin well hydrated. NMF are made up of several amino acids, fatty acids and several other compounds that occur naturally in the skin. This formula provides non-greasy hydration that acts as a direct topical supplement to compromised NMF components.

Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA protects and hydrates the outer layer of the skin. NMF is composed of compounds that occur naturally in the skin. This amino acid-filled formula provides immediate and long-lasting relief and absorbs into the skin in the most effective and natural way.

Use: Use as needed for effective surface hydration after applying serums.
