Itches
Trying this for hormonal acne. The verdict is out on effectiveness, but I thought it worth noting that contrary to the product description and general talk about azelaic acid, it does, in fact, cause some irritation. I find there is a pretty strong immediate itching sensation when applied. This goes away after about an hour, but it’s pretty unpleasant. I’ve tried the tiniest amount just on the problem area, and made sure not to use at the same time as other actives, but 2 weeks in and I clearly just have skin that doesn’t appreciate this formulation.

Amazing result
I just have to give a review for this remarkable cream. I have had a large open pore in the middle of my forehead for years that I haven't been able to get rid of. Within 2 weeks of using this cream it has almost disappeared - it seems to be healing from the bottom up. I have a few broken veins and some redness across my cheeks and nose (not rosacea or dermatitis - just ageing) and the cream has not made it worse but not sure its better either. But that open pore is nothing short of a marvel. Brilliant stuff.

So Happy
I bought the smaller tube to try it out and I'm so impressed. This helped with my hormonal acne & rosacea, also works wonders with my skin texture. Skin is feeling smoother after every application. I will definitely buy this again!

Absolutely works like magic and is amazing for acne prone skin. I’ve noticed a huge difference and does the same as higher end products if not more!

Great
After waiting months for this to come back in stock, I ordered straight away and it arrived in 2 days. I use this when I get spots due to rosacea. It helps to heal them and is a good base for makeup to cover them.

the best treatment I own
I have combo skin that is easily dried out by the over-stripping acne-marketed products out there AND easily congested by hydration-targeted products. This outperforms even my original acne prescription and is a fraction of the price. I also found this one less drying than the PC one. Brown acne aftermath spots fade fast, whiteheads are prevented, and my skin is clearer, smoother, and especially softer with this in my rotation. To apply, I mix it with moisturizer on my fingertips. It sits really well underneath makeup too. If I use this morning and night it lasts 6-8 weeks. If the brand offered a larger bottle I'd purchase without question.

works
Great product, very effective. My only peeve is the texture, I hate the fact that it is in silicone, but I am assuming this has been decided for a reason, perhaps to help with the effectiveness? But definitely brightened my face after a day and after a week I had a noticeable lightening of pigmentation. I have dark skin, so finding products that help with this is rare.

No surprise
Maybe I expected something more... I did not like the silicone feeling.

Got breakouts/got no breakouts at all
After canceling of OC I had got acne, that little white bumps on my chin. One month with this suspension made my skin smooth, just like magic wand. I had repeated purchase but had even finished the second tube. Because my skin cured. Also it camouflage pores (thanx to dimethicone), but you have to go with that that azelaic acid don't cleans pores. It's work is to remove hormonal breakouts. Well done, The Ordinary, almost 2 years my chin looks healthy!
