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...

Perfect primer!
As a black woman with oily, acne prone skin that has tried a ton of pricey products to fade my dark spots, I appreciate this product. I wouldn't say it's been the best in eliminating my post acne scarring, but it is my absolute go to for minimizing oily skin especially with sunscreen. Yes, it is sticky, but that really comes in handy for all night makeup. After cleansing, exfoliating, and using this? Omg even my drug store foundation applies like butter and wears like second skin. Yes yes yes.
Not for me
This product isn't for me. But that doesnt mean its not good. I have combo oily skin and this product was much to rich for my skin type, and it also didnt wear well under my makeup, it caused peeling. For someone that doesn't wear face makeup and doesnt share my skin type, I think they would love it and find it fairly beneficial to keep in their arsenal.
Great for post acne and sun damage spots
I tried this after years of tanning WITHOUT SUNSCREEN and WITH any type of oil, INCLUDING crisco...yes I know im an idiot, but I was young and dumb. with that said after a few weeks of consistent use I notice how very effective this stuff truly is. it wears beautifully under makeup, didnt break me out and did what it said. To top it off, ITS AFFORDABLE! Couldn't ask for more from a skincare product!
Breakout
This gage my skin crazy texture. Maybe it waa too strong for my sensitive skin 😟
Low-key disappointed
I just got it today so I this review isn't really about the quality but the quantity. I thought the tube felt really AIR tight so I put a flashlight up against it and what do you know its not even half way full! Theres barely product in the tube. The tube should be FILLED to the top why am paying for less than half of a product???

Will this help clear up perimenopause acne?
- Asked by DJScott
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there, as none of our products are considered medical treatments for perimenopausal acne, we'd suggest speaking with your physician or dermatologists for persistent issues. However, Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% can help target the look of blemishes! We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you

Can I use this on my legs for dark spots?
- Asked by Kai
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there. Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA has not been tested for use on the body. We'd recommend exploring Niacinamide 5% Face and Body Emulsion. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can i use azelaic acid suspension10% cream in the same routine as the glycolic acid 7% exfoliating and brightening daily toner?
- Asked by Tisha
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there, thanks for reaching out. We do not recommend using Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% in the same regimen as other direct acids. You could apply Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% in the morning, and Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner in the evening, or, alternate your evening regimens (ex. Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Monday night, Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner Tuesday night). We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Can the Alpha Arbutin 2% + Hyaluronic Acid be used with the saccharomyces ferment 30% milky toner? If so, which product do you apply first?
- Asked by Nik
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there. Yes, all 3 can be used together. We'd recommend: Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner > Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 > Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this a moisturizer? Or can i use it instead of a moisturizer? Its not really advertized as a hydrating product
- Asked by C
- Official Answer By The Ordinary - Brand EngageHi there, Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is a suspension cream. If you feel like you skin needs additional moisture/hydration, you can follow it up with one of our moisturizers, like Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA.Was this answer helpful to you
