The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension

Treats Acne: Azelaic acid kills acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes), reduces inflammation, and helps keep pores clear by normalizing keratinization, making it effective for mild to moderate acne.

Reduces Hyperpigmentation: It inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, thereby lightening dark spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Improves Rosacea Symptoms: Azelaic acid reduces redness and inflammation by preventing blood vessel widening and calming irritated skin.

Exfoliates Gently: It promotes skin cell turnover, improving skin texture and reducing dullness without harsh irritation.

Antioxidant Properties: Protects skin from free radical damage, contributing to reduced inflammation and healthier skin.
