Great Product
This is one of the best creams I’ve ever used. I used to have small red bumps on my forehead and my skin is so much clearer now and looks much more healthier. Great product, I will be a forever customer.

Be careful
I had a small discolored spot on my cheek smaller than a pencil top eraser (inner circle in photo) and I was spot treating for approx 1 to 2 weeks. Now I have a big brown splotch on my face the size of a 1" diameter circle (outer circle) that won't go away. Made my situation much worse.

Love it!
I am loving this azelaic acid!!! One thing I just need to remember is not to use to many actives at ones and alternate them. Will continue to use and see how it helps my skin 😊

Great for Sensitive Skin
I just moved to a city that has very cold, windy winters. I'm not a doctor, so take this with a grain of salt, but this has been an absolute game changer for my rosacea. Redness, rosacea-related breakouts, even thickened skin have all gotten better since I started. Highly recommend.

has made lots of improvements to my skin
I have purchased this product multiple times within the past few months and i will most certainly buy it again, it has smoothed and is helping to even my skin tone. my skin has always had redness and the azelaic acid has improved my skin a lot!

leaves a weird film
This doesn’t feel like it’s absorbing into my skin. It just sits on top and gets pilly the more you rub it in. Doesn’t layer well with moisturizer either

VERY GOOD BUT…
So I bought this after seeing many tiktoks that said that azelaic is very good for hyperpigmentation, skin dullness, brightness etc etc. I went with the ordinary because it’s not my first time buying with them and I’m satisfied with their products. Long short story, don’t take the 30ml because it’s gonna last less than a week. It says that a little dot of the size of a pea is enough but it’s really NOT, trust me lol. Also it peels like crazy so applying this night time will be the perfect time. Overall, it did VERY well with my skin. Hyperpigmentation is slowly but surely going down, my face is more even and feel sooooooft.
