Brighten dullness and refine uneven skin texture with a gentle, multifunctional formula.The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is a high-performance, lightweight cream-gel designed to target dull skin, uneven tone, and structural surface blemish marks. Formulated with a 10% concentration of high-purity azelaic acid—a natural antioxidant found in grains—this daily treatment sweeps away surface irregularities and minimizes the look of visible redness, leaving your skin looking clearer, more radiant, and remarkably smooth.
Product Highlights
10% High-Purity Azelaic Acid: Features an optimized cosmetic concentration to visibly improve skin radiance and balance out uneven skin tone.
Velvety Cream-Gel Suspension: Formulated into a comfortable, oil-free cream-gel texture that absorbs cleanly and leaves a soft, primer-like finish.
Antioxidant Enrichment: Provides excellent topical antioxidant support to defend the skin surface against daily environmental stress.
Low Irritation Potential: Naturally gentler than many traditional direct facial acids, making it an excellent option for sensitive or reactive skin types.
Cleanse & Treat: Wash your face thoroughly. Apply your water-based serums first and allow them to fully dry.
Apply: Dispense a pea-sized amount onto your fingertips. Smooth evenly over your face in the morning (AM) and/or evening (PM), avoiding the direct eye and mouth boundaries.
Moisturize: Follow with your favorite basic moisturizer like The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA.
Sun Protection Alert: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day while using this product to protect your freshly exfoliated skin.
Routine Pairing Tip: To minimize potential skin barrier stress, do not layer in the same routine with strong direct acids (AHAs/BHAs), Retinoids, or Copper Peptides.
Highly effective at preventing breakouts and clearing up bumpy skin texture. The formula is a thick, silicone-like suspension, so a little goes a very long way. I only give it a 4 because it can pill if you don't wait a few minutes before applying your moisturizer over it.

The absolute best product for fading stubborn post-acne dark spots. I noticed a massive improvement in my blemish-prone areas within three weeks. It doesn't break me out at all and leaves my skin texture feeling incredibly soft and completely renewed.

This has done wonders for my redness and rosacea. I apply a small amount in the evening, and by morning, my skin tone looks remarkably even. It has a smooth, matte finish that controls my t-zone oiliness beautifully without drying me out.

I am so glad I added this to my routine. It targets acne and dullness at the same time, giving my skin a bright, healthy look. It is gentle enough for daily use and has completely transformed the overall clarity of my complexion.
