The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Brightening Treatment, 1 fl oz — Lightweight Non-Greasy Daily Formula

The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is a lightweight, cream-like topical formula designed to brighten skin tone and visibly improve uneven texture with a high concentration of azelaic acid.

This suspension blends a 10% concentration of azelaic acid into a smooth, non-greasy base that can be used daily as part of morning and evening skincare routines. It is formulated to target dullness, uneven tone, and rough texture while remaining suitable for a range of skin types, including skin prone to rosacea. The formula is intended to work alongside sunscreen and other treatments rather than replace them.

How does this product help with uneven skin tone?

The azelaic acid in this suspension acts on areas of discoloration and dullness to promote a more even-looking complexion over time. Regular use can contribute to a brighter appearance while improving the feel of rough patches.

• Contains 10% azelaic acid for targeted brightening support
• Formulated to address dullness and uneven pigmentation
• Designed for twice-daily application to maintain results

Is this safe for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?

The Ordinary positions this cream-like suspension as suitable for a range of skin types, including those prone to rosacea, because of its balanced texture and concentration. As with any active, start slowly and patch-test if you have heightened sensitivity.

• Gentle, non-oily texture intended for daily use
• Recommended patch test before full-face application
• Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids and lips to reduce irritation risk

How should I use Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% in my routine?

Apply a small amount to clean skin in the morning and evening, avoiding the eye contour, eyes and mouth. In the daytime, pair with broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect skin and support visible results.

• Use morning and night after cleansing and before heavier creams
• Sunscreen is recommended during daytime use
• Suitable for up to 12 months after opening when stored properly

What results can I expect and when?

Individual responses vary, but many users notice improvements in tone and texture with consistent application over several weeks. The suspension format aims to deliver azelaic acid steadily without heavy residue.

• May improve the look of dullness and uneven texture with regular use
• Non-greasy finish suitable for layering under moisturizers or makeup
• Visible changes typically develop over weeks of consistent use

Who is this for: The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% is intended for people seeking a non-greasy, topical brightening option to address dullness, uneven tone, and rough texture. It suits those with normal to sensitive or rosacea-prone skin who want a straightforward leave-on treatment to integrate into AM and PM routines. Avoid if you have known hypersensitivity to azelaic acid or related ingredients, and consult a skincare professional for personalized advice.
