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...

Hormonal/pregnancy acne
Hormonal acne has kicked my butt during pregnancy, and almost nothing helped at until this (even other brands/types of azalaic acid). This didn't cure the issue entirely but it is one of the only things that visibly helped and made a noticable difference for me in an issue that was really impacting my confidence! Recommend buying multiple at a time if you like it because it can run out quickly.
Hard to Use
I cant speak to how well this product works for hyperpigmentation because it pills so horribly you literally cannot use any other products with it. And forget about wearing foundation over it! As someone who is 37 yo and struggling with hormonal acne, my other products are a non negotiable, so I rarely use this except occasionally on the weekends when I dont wear makeup. And when I do use it, it seems like I get an increase of blackheads a day later. Im glad this wasnt expensive because it mainly sits on my vanity taking up space lol. If you have a similar sitch as me, I highly recommend the acne kit from Tula; it also has azaleic acid in it, and has done wonders for my acne AND fading my acne scars.
So amazing
I love this product so much. It's so amazing it moisturize my skin, brighten my skin, and even my skin tone definitely a gem
My skin texture and breakouts got worse
This was supposed to be a rosacea friendly acne management product. It smells awful. It pills up badly if you don't give it 3-4 minutes to absorb and I've had more breakouts after 6 weeks of use.
best product EVER
This product has genuinely changed my skin for the better. Ive been using this for about 2 1/2 months and my skin has become so smooth. before I started using this product I had a big problem with old acne scars and bumpy texture but this product has gotten rid of all texture and faded many of my scars. I use this product only at night, and i ONLY use a moisturizer before using this product, ive never experienced any burning or pilling with this product either🤷🏽♀️ some cons about this product tho its very small and while a little product goes a long way theres only half the product in the packaging. the smell isnt very strong and I kinda like it, will definitely be repurchasing this 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
- 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
