Bought The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% as an alternative acne treatment, specifically for my back acne. Most acne treatment contains Salicylic acid (BHA) and benzoyl peroxide which are not recommended for those who are planning to conceive or are pregnant . This product also has properties such as:
The Ordinary is not readily available in Singapore, so I had to buy it online. It costs S$14 for 30 ml of product, which should lasts 2-3 months. The Ordinary website retails it for USD9.93. This cream-gel brightening formula contains 10% of high-purity Azelaic Acid. Azelaic acid brightens the skin tone while improving skin texture. This product is supposed to help reduce the look of blemishes.
Overall, this product does help to improve the appearance of blemishes. Though, the result is not immediate. Been using it on and off for over a month, and it does help to improve my back acne. You can use this product twice a day on targeted areas. The only thing I do not like about this product is the scent. It has a distinct sharp scent which becomes apparent when applied to the face, so I only use The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension for my back acne.
Overall, it is a good product and I would repurchase it. It is an affordable acne treatment, at under $20. Wish it was more readily available in Singapore.
