The Ordinary' Azelaic 'Ac id' Suspension 10% 30ml, Multifunctional Brightening Formula

Just bought my second one of these. I’ve not had any issue with my first bottle even though it seems like everything makes me break out. I’ve tried other products for getting rid of dark spots (niacinamide, bha’s etc.) and this is the only one that has done more good than bad. I haven’t seen a total difference in my dark spots, but they’re much much less visible now. I’m now using this alongside tranexamic acid.The product itself doesn’t have much of a smell, so readability isn’t great but it’s not too much of an issue, and I haven’t had any breakouts or negative reactions to this, EXCEPT when I used it on a damp face, which lead to quite a bit of redness and stinging for a couple hours, so definitely wouldn’t recommend applying it to damp skin.

Liked the simplicity of the packaging. Says what it does on the tin oops tube!

Yet to see the effect

After a few weeks my skin became itchy and flaky. I had to throw it away

Good value for money and great product

It really does it’s job. The only thing that I personally dislike is the fact that the smell isn’t the most pleasant.

Good value if you don’t use it on a daily basis or twice a day. The consistency is really nice and its almost like a primer rather than a moisturiser. It dries matte, no fragrance and is easy to apply. I have mild rosacea so l couldn’t put it on my cheeks and this apparently anti-inflammatory ingredient. I also bought it for blackheads on my nose and white heads l get on my chin and jawline - it did very little. I did get dry flaky skin on my chin after applying it 2-3 nights in a row.I am tired, however, of reading about so called anti-inflammatory products which are good for rosacea; not a single one has that effect. I always end up with red spots on my cheeks or some mild reaction which means l can only use the product on my forehead and chin.

It was gift.
