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.

Purchased this twice, with the first one I felt like it finished pretty fast, when I opened the second one I noticed right away that the bottle was almost empty.. like a bag of chips. Will purchase my azelaic acid from a different brand henceforth.
She's got your back
I absolutely loved the ordinary's azelaic acid formula! As an acne-prone brown girl (who is also prone to hyperpigmentation left by post-acne scars), I see a vast difference in my skin texture, pores, brightness and fading hyperpigmentation on weeks I use this cream. I've even tried the Paula's choice azelaic acid (which is maybe more than 3-4x times the price of this one) but have noticed wayyy better results with TO's formula. I have been repurchasing this since 2021 and the formula has honestly been pretty consistent (maybe even better?). Tried every acne treatment under the sun and this definitely is at the top. You don't need too much product either to see results (I personally notice it in a day or two) - just use it consistently for 2 weeks. Use it before moisturizer AM & PM. Follow it up with sunscreen in the AM.
