The Ordinary recently launched its first post-acne care serum, the Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution, and it takes the form of a potent, ingredient-focused formula that's as affordable as ever. This product fills a void in the market for post-acne care products with a two-part approach to healing. While aloe vera is revered as one of the best ingredients to put on the skin after a little too much sun, it's also super pampering for stressed-out skin.
"While the acne-treating space is saturated with products featuring ingredients such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, we aimed to create a formula that would support an often overlooked part of the blemish journey: post-acne marks, the specific texture and pigmentation that is left behind once acne heals," Prudvi Kaka, Chief Scientific Officer of The Ordinary, told Refinery29.
