Acne scars on face before and after 2 weeks using The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
How good is The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% for acne scars and do these scars noticeably fade after only 2 weeks of use?
Well, take a close look at the following 2 weeks before and after results:


We can clearly notice a difference in the acne scar’s appearance before and after 2 weeks of applying The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% but it’s interesting to see that these differences are due to the improvement in the overall skin texture making the dark acne scars less noticeable rather than the acne scars becoming lighter.

30 day before and after result using The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%
Acne scars and pockmarks are incredibly difficult to improve, especially if they are deep.
So, is The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% a good skincare product for acne scars and does this acidic cream effectively hide blemishes in just 30 days?
Here’s the final 30 day before and after results:


Immediately, we noticed that the skin has a completely different texture and liveliness after using The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% for 30 days and similar to the previous results, this increase in skin texture and brightness helps mask the appearance of acne scars but doesn’t actually fade deep acne scars.
Although the difference to acne scars were minimal, comparing the before and after results shows just how effective The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% can be for improving the overall tone and brightness of the skin.

The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% skincare product review
Want to start using The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% in your own skincare routine?
Here’s what we noticed during our review that might help you decide if this azelaic acid cream is right for you:
This is a surprisingly lightweight cream that absorbs fairly quickly without leaving behind any greasy residue on the surface of the skin.
In fact, we noticed that the skin stayed neutral after applying The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, neither too shiny or matte!
Azelaic acid is a fairly strong active skincare ingredient so avoid using other actives such as AHA, BHA, Retinol and Vitamin-C.
In general, it’s best to avoid using too many actives at once as this can irritate the skin.
No, we did not experience any stinging sensations or irritations during this review and it’s nice to see that there’s no added fragrance to this skincare product.
Remember, azelaic acid can cause the skin to be more sensitive to UV light so using sunscreen and avoiding direct exposure to sunlight is highly recommended!
