In this video, I will show you how to use The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%.
Targets - Dullness, Uneven Tone, Textural Irregularities, Antioxidant Support
Format - Suspension
Regimen Step - After Water-Based Serums
Conflicts - Do not combine with other strong acids, EUK 134 0.1% or Peptides.
Time of Use - Ideally PM
The general rule of thumb for order of application is:
1. Water-based serums
2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations
3. Creams & suspensions
Important:
If you have more than one water-based serum, you can apply based on the priority of your concern (the product that targets the most important concern should go first), And it’s recommended applying eye-serums (such as Caffeine Solution 5% + EGCG) first after cleansing.
And a maximum of three serum formulations in a single regimen.
Always apply sunscreen when you are exposed to the sun!!

@Saba Omer The odor of Azelaic Acid is due to its chemical structure, which contains a carboxylic acid group. This group can produce a slightly sour or acidic odor that can be noticeable, particularly when the product is first opened. The scent can be stronger in some batches of the product, but it is generally mild and should dissipate after the product has been absorbed into the skin. The smell is not an indication that the product is expired or has gone bad.

Hello 😀 Great❤️, There is no right and wrong. You have to see what works best for your skin. But Azelaic Acid is pretty gentle; you can use it on a daily base. I recommend using it only once a day and probably skip the moisturizer. It goes on as the last step.

Hi! My current routine consists of Cleansing balm, Marine hyaluronic, Niacinamide, and finally the Squish moisturiser. I want to add in the Azelaic acid to my routine as the final step before moisturising, would this be okay? I was wondering if using both the Azelaic acid and moisturiser could feel heavy on the skin, or if it would absorb nicely?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that's a tricky one. It may depend on how much you are using. Or if the formulation is working together. You have to experiment if it's too much; just use them on different days.

Which visibly lighten my post acne. But I'm a worried on this as well, especially that i'm starting to change my 'alternate' routines. Should I alternate my acids including this Azelaic?

Hello :) just learning how to incorporate this! Knowing that it can’t be used with peptides, I guess it can’t be used alongside moisturizers/creams with peptides? I just began using the youth to the people adaptogen cream and realized there are peptides in that. Also is this considered a chemical exfoliant? Still figuring out what is best for daily use vs a few times a week! Ty x

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

Generally speaking, if it has those ingredients, it may be affected. But it won't harm your skin. There is a change that they can neutralize the peptides. Here is what the Ordinary says: Note: We are deeply grateful to our devoted customers for loving us and our products so much. Our lab has and continues to devote countless hours to share the newest innovations with our broader world. The Ordinary now offers a wide range of products under the Vitamin C, Peptide and Direct Acid categories, and to help our ever-growing, loving family of users build functional and effective routines incorporating these products we have developed an introductory guideline into the brand. Previously, we did not have a contraindication listed for the use of direct acids/Vitamin C with any of our peptides. However, we now have a huge arsenal of these products and some of the formulations are more susceptible to hydrolysis with certain types of Vitamin C or acids. Instead of developing a complex guide listing the compatibility of each of our peptides with each acid and Vitamin C, we have adapted the following approach to maximize efficacy for the maximum number of people: It is best to not use Peptides in the same routine as the following products: Direct acids, LAA (L-Ascorbic Acid) and ELAA (Ethylated Ascorbic Acid). In addition, we would recommend avoiding the use of products containing copper peptides in the same routine as strong antioxidants as well as direct acids/LAA/ELAA.

Had some trouble in the beginning but now my skin looks much more clean and bright, my acne scars are fading away tho I can’t say they’re completely gone. Do you think that adding this product to my skin care would help me with the scars or I should try another one?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Ana, Blackheads are incredibly difficult to treat with topical products. It's best to visit a professional for this. But apart from that, adding the azelaic acid can help with dark spots or generally with skin pigmentation issues. So the combination can work very well. The only issue with it is that it sometimes causes pilling, but if that happens, space the products a bit apart (2-5minutes)

New subscriber !💖 I’m new to using The Ordinary products & I just got the vitamin C 23% +HA spheres 2% & the azelaic acid 10% . I know they’re alternatives for each other but would it be too much if I use the vitamin C at night and moisturize in the morning with the azelaic acid after cleansing ? I need the brightness but also need to get rid of my dark spots and acne scars . I want to prevent any irritation since I’ve used so many different products & nothing works for me ): please lmk thank you ! 🤞🏻💛

Hello ❤️ Hm, so your concerns are pigmentation issues and acne scars? If so, then this is the right routine for you: AM1 (Monday, Wednesday, Friday): 1. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser 2. Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% 3. Sunscreen AM2 (rest of the week) 1. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser 2. Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA 3. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 4. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 10% 5.Sunscreen PM1 (Monday Wednesday, Friday) Routine: 1. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser 2. Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution 3. Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion or Granactive Retinoid 2% or 5% in Squalane PM2 ( Rest of the week) 1. The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser 2. (Optional) Lactic Acid 5% 3. 1 Level Spoon 100% L- Ascorbic Acid Powder with 4-5 drops Resveratrol 3% + Ferulic Acid 3% I am sure that you will see fantastic results with this routine, but you need to use it consistently(!) for at least 3months! Gradually incorporating one new product into your regimen at a time and applying test patches first to see what works best for your skin. With any new formulation, some sensitivity or initial redness can be normal. Initial redness upon application is not a cause for concern if it goes away after a few moments.

Is it okay to use the azelaic acid every single day or would that be too harsh for the skin? And do you use a moisturizer after or before the application of azelaic acid?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 4 жыл бұрын

The general rule of thumb for the order of application is: 1. Water-based serums 2. Anhydrous Solutions and Oil Formulations 3. Creams & suspensions So it would be applied after your moisturizer. What moisturizer do you use? If you want to introduce it to your skin to see how it is working for your skin, you can start with a patch-test and then slowly add it to your skin, like using it every couple of days and see how it goes and after that, you may want to use it daily. 😊

Hi Melissa! I really love your videos :D I have a question about my routine and wanna know what you think is the best? I suffer from blackheads, red skin, scars and sometimes bigger acne spots. So after watching a lot of videos I think there are 2 options. 1 = cleanser, toner, lactic acid 10%, niacinamide 10% + zinc 1%, Hyaluronic acid 2% + b5, moisturizer 2= cleanser, toner, niacinamide 10% + zinc 1%, Hyaluronic acid 2% + b5, (in the evening azelaic acid suspension 10%), moisturizer Which one you think is better to use? Also is it possible to use the caffeine solution 5% + EGCG in both of the routines or is it too much? If it is possible, when should I use it?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

Have you already bought those products? Otherwise, I recommend have a look at a BHA exfoliant (for example from Paula's Choice) and I prefer the Paula's Choice Azelaic Acid over the Ordinary one. But yeah, you can add Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide to your routine as well. The caffeine Solution is going to be applied after toning or exfoliating😊

@@MelissaVanDijkOfficial Thank you for the answer! So what do you think about: Cleanser, toner, BHA exfoliant , niacinamide 10% + zinc 1%, Hyaluronic acid 2% + b5, moisturizer? And can I use the BHA exfoliant every day, and twice or only in the morning/evening?

@MelissaVanDijkOfficial 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, correct and don't forget your Caffeine Solution which you can use after the BHA. I recommend using it once per day every other day and see how your skin responds before using it more often. It can be used once or twice per day daily, but start slowly. Use this routine for a while before trying out anything else as there are a few lightening ingredients, Niacinamide is one of them😊 Edit: I still would add Azelaic Acid to your routine as well🙈

Hi, I’m fairly new to skincare and have been using Azelaic acid in combination with Glycolic acid 7% and a few other products for my night time routine. I’ve been doing this for months with no signs of irritation or anything abnormal. Is this fine or should I stop? Is irritation the only possible consequence?

If you have been doing this now for a month without irritation, keep on going! They do not conflict with one another. However, this combination can sometimes be a bit too strong for some people! :)
