Description
The Ordinary Azelaic Acid 10% Suspension is a multifunctional serum designed to target various skin concerns, including acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. It contains azelaic acid, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in grains such as barley, wheat, and rye. Azelaic acid is known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and brightening properties.
Key Ingredient:
- Azelaic Acid (10%): Azelaic acid works by gently exfoliating the skin, unclogging pores, and reducing the production of keratin, which can contribute to acne and breakouts. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in calming redness and irritation associated with conditions like rosacea. Additionally, azelaic acid helps to inhibit melanin production, making it beneficial for reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and evening out skin tone.
How to Use:
- Cleanse Your Face: Start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove any dirt, oil, or impurities from the skin’s surface. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
- Apply the Suspension: Dispense a small amount of The Ordinary Azelaic Acid 10% Suspension onto your fingertips. Gently massage the suspension onto your face and neck using upward motions. Be cautious and avoid the delicate eye area.
- Allow Absorption: Let the suspension absorb into your skin for a few minutes before applying any additional skincare products. Azelaic acid suspensions are typically lightweight and absorb quickly.
- Follow with Moisturizer: After the suspension has been absorbed, follow up with your favorite moisturizer to lock in hydration and further nourish the skin. This step is crucial, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.
- Sun Protection: It’s essential to apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the daytime when using azelaic acid to protect your skin from UV damage and maintain its health and appearance.
