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...

Great stuff
It doesn't last long but wow it works great! I have perioral dermatitis and finding things that work was a challenge to say the least.
YES!
I just started using this and have immediately noticed a difference in my skin texture and appearance! SO SOFT and poreless (pores weren't even an "issue" for me). For reference, I also have Eczema/Sensitive skin- and all good on sensitivity!
Makes my face feels very dry, and ... painful
My cheeks are always red, and my dermatologist recommended using this for 3 weeks then slowly add my regular facial products to see which one is making my cheeks red. The first 2-3 days of using this cream on my face, my face felt very tight and dry, and it was an uncomfortable feeling. By Day 3, I decided to add facial lotion on top of this cream, after it was dried, with the hope that the tightness and dry feeling would go away. Instantly, as i was applying facial cream on my face, my face started feeling like there were hundreds of pins all over it. It was so uncomfortable and some what painful. Even when I tried to wash it off, the painful sensation continues for awhile. I gave my face break from this cream, and a few days later, I repeat the routine, and again, as soon as I started putting another facial cream on my face, the pain returns. Either way, I don't like how it made my face feel, even when used alone. One thing I do like is this facial cream is very smooth to touch, reminds me of baby powder on skin.
SAVED MY SKIN
I saw this product in a skin care video so I decided to try it and I have been using this product for about two weeks and my skin has completely changed. My red spots are fading and I have no active acne currently! To use it I just put a large pea-sized amount on clean, dry skin and then follow it with my normal moisturizer after i let it sit for a minute. I have just been using facewash, this, and moisturizer, and i only use this product at night because it does pill up if you touch it too much after application. I find that it works best at night anyways. If your skin is sensitive you can use a serum before you apply this product to add a little barrier but i haven't tried that. DISCLAIMER: my skin did purge for about a week after i started using this (old acne came to the surface) but my red spots started fading right away and the purging ended after that week for me. this product also has a light chemical smell but i don't even notice it after i use my moisturizer. FOR REFERENCE: I had painful hormonal acne all over my cheeks and jawline (some of it was deep and some surface level) for months before i tried this. My skin is sensitive to certain products and oily
My daughter uses it she says it does make a big difference

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
- Q
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
