Product Overview

Heal the look of your skin after breakouts with The Ordinary Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution. This lightweight, soothing serum is specifically engineered for blemish-prone skin that is dealing with the lingering effects of acne. By combining high-purity Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice with N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG), this formula targets post-acne marks, visible redness, and textural irregularities. Whether you are struggling with uneven skin tone or a compromised barrier, this water-based solution provides the hydration and structural support needed to reveal a clearer, smoother, and more resilient complexion.

Key Benefits

  • Targets Post-Acne Marks: Specifically formulated to fade the appearance of marks left behind after blemishes.
  • Soothes Visible Redness: Aloe-based hydration instantly calms and comforts irritated or blemish-prone skin.
  • Refines Skin Texture: Utilizes peptide technology to smooth out surface irregularities and bumps.
  • Reduces Appearance of Pores: Works to clarify the skin surface, making pores appear smaller and less congested.
  • Advanced Tone Correction: 2% NAG is a biotechnology-derived ingredient proven to target uneven skin pigmentation.
  • Barrier Support: Strengthens the skin’s natural moisture barrier to prevent future sensitivity.
  • Multi-Depth Hydration: Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice powder provides immediate and lasting surface moisture.
  • Lightweight Aqueous Formula: Sinks in quickly without leaving any oily or heavy residue.
  • Peptide-Powered: Features Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 to support skin's structural integrity.
  • Non-Comedogenic: Safe for oily and blemish-prone types, though optimized for those experiencing dryness during treatment.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

  • 2% N-Acetyl Glucosamine (NAG): A skin-identical ingredient and a fundamental component of Hyaluronic Acid. NAG is highly effective at reducing the look of uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, particularly post-inflammatory marks.
  • Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder: Renowned for its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, it provides a soothing base that delivers essential hydration.
  • Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4: A powerful messenger peptide that targets textural irregularities by supporting the skin's framework, helping it feel firmer and smoother.

Who is it for?

  • Post-Breakout Recovery: Anyone looking to clean up the dark spots or red marks left behind by acne.

FAQ

Q: How long does it take to see results on post-acne marks?
A: Most users begin to see an improvement in redness and texture within 4 weeks of consistent AM and PM use, with tone-evening results appearing after 8 weeks.

Q: Can I use this with Niacinamide?
A: Yes! NAG and Niacinamide work very well together to target hyperpigmentation and barrier support. You can layer them in the same routine.

Q: Is this an acne treatment?
A: No. While it is for blemish-prone skin, it is designed to treat the *after-effects* of acne (marks and redness) rather than the active pimples. Use it alongside your preferred blemish treatments.

Q: Why is it recommended for dry skin?
A: The Aloe and peptide base makes it highly hydrating and barrier-supportive, which is perfect for blemish-prone individuals who struggle with dry or flaky skin.
