The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is formulated to deliver multiple benefits, making it a versatile addition to most skincare routines. When applied, its lightweight cream-gel texture absorbs readily without leaving a heavy or sticky residue. Users can expect a gradual but noticeable improvement in their skin's overall appearance.
Brightening & Even Tone: Regular use helps to fade the appearance of dark spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, leading to a more radiant and uniform skin tone. This is particularly beneficial for those dealing with uneven complexion.
Smoother Texture: By gently exfoliating the skin, it helps to refine rough patches and minimize the look of textural irregularities. Your skin will feel smoother and look more polished.
Blemish Control: While not a dedicated acne treatment, its properties help in reducing the visibility of blemishes and preventing new ones, contributing to clearer skin. It's an excellent supportive treatment for breakout-prone skin.
Antioxidant Defense: Beyond visible improvements, the formula acts as a shield against daily environmental aggressors, which can lead to premature aging and dullness. This proactive protection helps maintain long-term skin health.
Preparation: After cleansing and applying any water-based serums (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide), dispense a small, pea-sized amount onto your fingertip.
Application: Gently smooth the product over your entire face, avoiding the immediate eye area. You can apply it before or after oils and heavier creams, depending on your preferred routine and skin needs.
Frequency: Begin by using it once daily, either in the morning or evening. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase frequency to twice daily. Always follow with sunscreen during daytime use.
General Use: Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is generally compatible with many common skincare ingredients.
Caution with Actives: When combining with other strong active ingredients like AHAs (Glycolic Acid), BHAs (Salicylic Acid), retinoids (Retinol), or pure Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), introduce products slowly and consider using them on alternate days or in separate routines (e.g., Azelaic Acid in the morning, Retinol in the evening) to minimize potential irritation. Always perform a patch test when introducing new combinations.
Storage: Store the tube in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Seal: Ensure the cap is securely tightened after each use to maintain the product's efficacy and prevent air exposure.
