Details & care
What it is: A cream-like formula that brightens skin tone and visibly improves skin texture due to a high concentration of azelaic acid.
Who it's for: Ideal for those with uneven and blemish-prone skin types.
What it does: Azelaic acid is a natural and effective antioxidant found in grains. It has a lower irritation potential than other direct acids, which means it's gentle enough for daily use.
How to use: Apply a small amount of the cream to the face morning and evening.

Not for me..
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] gifted by theordinary This product I was not a fan of at all! It’s super thick, has a funny smell & broke me out pretty bad in areas I usually don’t break out. Not everything works for everybody, I have more sensitive skin, maybe that’s why this happened.. because I’ve heard amazing things about this product. It just didn’t work out for me..

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

Amazing formula!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was gifted by theordinary in exchange for my honest review. I love the texture of this product! It is a lightweight cream formula that isn’t heavy on the skin. I love to use this in the morning and night to help improve my skins texture and brightness!

Such good value!!
I bought this after hearing about the amazing results of Azelaic acid. It has a creamy texture but isn’t too irritating on the skin. I’ve found this is the perfect step up from the Ordinary’s Mandelic acid. I would recommend this product given how affordable it is compared to other brands!!
