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.

Poor quality
I have been using consistently for about 2 months and it has made my skin worse. I heard it makes ur skin purge the first few weeks but then starts improving but it has done absolutely nothing for my skin. Waste of my money

Drying
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Azelaic Acid Brightening Suspension complimentary from The Ordinary in exchange for my honest feedback. I was expecting this product to be more of a cream or serum, but it feels more like a silicone makeup primer. It takes quite a bit of product and is pretty drying, although it does kind of blur the skin for a more even-textured appearance. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this product.

Even for sensitive skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently was gifted by theordinary this Azelaic Acid Brightening Suspension which is a gentle exfoliator that helps brighten skin. This cream like formula targets texture, dryness, the look of redness, and uneven skin tone. It’s gentle enough for even sensitive skin as well!

A must try crash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time trying the ordinary brightening serum cream serum and I love it. This cream goes on your skin so smooth. It doesn’t leave an oily feeling after you apply it. Nice little scent to it. I highly recommend it. Gifted by theordinary

Big fan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] complimentary from The Ordinary for my honest review and thoughts. I am on my 6th or 7th tube and love how this azelaic acid works for my super redness prone sensitive skin. It never causes irritation and doesn’t pill terribly when used at night

Did not notice much of a difference
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gifted by theordinary: I’ve used this product about 3-4 times now and I haven’t noticed too much of a difference just yet. It is a little hard to spread across the face so you kind of have to use a good bit.
