Pure Original Ingredients Salicylic Acid 17% Solution (30 mL), Pure & Simple Serum

Finally, a pharmaceutical product that actually works on time. This product, with 17% Salicylic Acid , works much better than the fancy, hyped up creams.

UPDATED REVIEW 7/20/25 I changed this to 5 stars. I’m grateful the company allowed for a replacement product. I’ve already used the entire replacement bottle and just ordered 2 more. This product is fantastic and does an excellent job exfoliating. It’s gentle but powerful enough to see great results. Thank you!! Questionable efficacy. I’ve used other brands Salicylic acid at a lower percentage and those did more for my skin than this one. This product has not shown to peel or exfoliate at all. When neutralizing, there’s no reaction. Almost like there’s nothing to neutralize. I’ve left this product on different parts of my skin for different amounts of time to test its strength. . 1 minute all the way to 2 hours. This was a waste of money. I had hopes of mixing this into a cream but it doesn’t do anything. Don’t buy this.

This has worked very well for me. Some things had to come off in layers. And some things were easy to just peel off. At times. There has been a little bit of a sting but it doesn't last very long and it's not bad. I would recommend this.

Good

Way stronger than expected. I didn’t know what percentage to buy. I’ll have to dilute next time I use it.

Not impressed with its performance

Bought this product for killing warts even though the pictures implied (and reviews revealed) that customers were using it for chemical peels. The 17% salicylic acid in it is the active ingredient in commercial wart treatments except that companies like Compound W add so much ethyl to their solutions that it dries in the bottle when opened only a handful of times. Unfortunately this product comes with a dropper rather than a brush, making it hard to dab it on a specific place. It splats out and runs all over, not staying put to dry on the offending growth. The only way I could figure to build up enough salicylic acid on a wart and not to damage the adjacent skin was to first coat the healthy area around the wart with petroleum jelly, get in a position where the wart is level, then drop the acid directly and repeatedly on the wart, cleaning off what runs down onto the jelly. Alternately, maybe you could use a Q-tip? But in either case, you often have to lie flat (if the wart's on a leg or face, say) to avoid the solution running off and that may take a second person to help apply the acid in the right place. Even then, it's hard to get it to stay in position to work. So it's a loser.

This stuff works! I was in shock. I have bad sun spots from years of sun worshipping and this has actually faded and gotten rid of most of them. I was probably overusing it and it burned and I had horribly dry and flaky skin but the new skin is now smoother and brown spot free :D Also good with my son's pimples/blackheads.
