will this lighten my elbows. They look very dark when my arms not bent.
- Asked by No Beauty Buff
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageAzelaic Acid Suspension 10% has not been tested for use on the elbows. You may wish to target rough and bumpy skin on the elbows by exfoliating with Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, and following up with Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm for hydration :-)Was this answer helpful to you

This stuff has saved my skin
I was suffering from bad hormonal acne on my chin. I went to a dermatologist and she put me on antibiotics for three months and prescribed very agressive creams. I tried it for three months but my acne got worse. I still had the Azelaic Acid Suspension laying around and decided to give it a go, in o...

Received oxidized serum
This was my first time ordering and sadly I received an already oxidized serum which is supposed to be unoppened, most probably it's a batch that is expired as the website states unoppened products have 3 years shelf life.

Packaging
I really liked the actually product itself and definitely noticed a difference. The price is great but there is barely any product in the package. The packaging also is not the best and everytime I squeeze it either a lot of product comes out or nothing at all. I used this for like 2 weeks not even every day and I am already out of it?
Literally just change the packaging
This product has helped me so much with my acne the only thing is it's packaging is absolutely horrendous. It is so hard to get product out or too much comes out. I wish they would package it differently and make a bigger size.
With consistency this works!
I gave this a try about a year ago when my skin barrier was damaged and had lots of acne. I gave up thinking it was making things worse. Now that I've worked with a dermatologist to gety acne under control, I have noticed a reduction in the red spots I had post-acne. I use it every morning and have no irritation. It is great for the price!
I love it!
Works miracles on my hyperpigmentation spots. I use it once daily and it's faded my spots without irritation or causing breakouts. I've been using this for years now and absolutely love it.
formula changed
ive had 3 bottles of this. the last 2 came in clear bottles and were odorless. my last one came in a dark bottle and has a weird garlicy smell. it used to be good but now it just makes me feel gross after using it cus of the smell
