- Q
Should I apply this product all over my face or use it like a spot treatment on blemishes?
- Asked by I
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageYou can apply this all over the face or as a spot treatment, depending on what suits your skin best. You may also want to explore the Salicylic Acid 2% Masque as another option for full-face or targeted blemish treatment.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does textual irregularities include KP, keratosis pilaris?
- Asked by PositiveBroccoli
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageKeratosis Pilaris (sometimes referred to as KP or strawberry skin) is characterized by rough and bumpy skin and can show up in places like the arms and legs. A combination of exfoliation and hydration can help target the feel of rough and bumpy skin. We recommend applying Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner to exfoliate the skin, followed by Natural Moisturizing Factors + Inulin to provide all-day continuous moisture. Please note that we do not recommend applying this product to broken or irritation skin, or covered areas such as the inner thighs or underarms. None of our products can be considered medical treatments for persistent skin concerns. If you are experiencing extensive or persistent skin conditions, please consult your doctor or dermatologist. <3Was 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. I will seek to return this product and hope there won't be much hassle in t...

Smells like Garlic
Apparently it was reformulated and now smells like garlic.
very calming!
I have very stubborn acne and this helped calm my breakout so quickly. Within a day or two, I noticed that my breakout was smaller, less inflamed, less painful, and less red. It made me feel so much more comfortable. I haven't used it for long enough to see any brightening effects.
Gave me a rash
It made my cheeks all bumpy and then they slowly started itching and now my face is totally red and bumpy. Only used it twice over the last three days. I was hoping it would calm my slightly red areas and brighten any dull skin but my skin was mostly very smooth and I just hope the rash goes away quickly.
Broke me out real bad.
This product broke me out real bad. Sensitive skin people, please be aware! My face is itchy and burning since a week.
Does what it says
I was hesitant but I do have to say since I started using this. It had helped so much, I have very sensitive skin, cystic acne, combo skin and I tend to break out alot. But since I added this with a new moisturizer, cleanser 🫶 is perfect 👌
