Initially, The Ordinary was sold domestically, but when I learned they stopped importing it, I ordered it from overseas. It took about two weeks to arrive, and I've been using it since. (I'm also using Paula's Choice Azelaic Acid Booster, which I purchased directly from abroad) The conclusion is that azelaic acid is the answer for blemishes! I knew azelaic acid was good for brightening and blemishes, but I saw a much greater effect on improving blemishes than on brightening. The texture is a slightly thick cream, but it absorbs well. I apply it thinly and lightly after my moisturizer, and the next day I can definitely feel my complexion improving and the blemishes around my jaw area subsiding quickly! Unlike other AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) and BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids), azelaic acid doesn't cause irritation, so even those with super sensitive skin can try it without worry, which is another advantage!
ConsWhen I first applied the azelaic acid, I felt some itching and tingling around my jaw area. But it felt like it was working hard on the blemishes, so I endured it, and gradually the sensation subsided.
TipIf you're concerned about applying it due to sensitive skin, try mixing it with your regular moisturizer! And as always, remember to control the amount you use! Don't be tempted to apply too much just because it works well.

After suffering from adult acne around my chin for nearly 5 years, I've finally found my holy grail ㅜㅜ Everyone kept saying they got better by applying this or eating that, but nothing seemed to work for me no matter what I tried to prevent or apply. Until now! After finishing one bottle, all my tiny bumps completely disappeared. I had both small bumps and inflamed pimples, and the ones that used to pop up relentlessly have all vanished except for a couple. The frequency of inflamed acne has significantly decreased too. I used to pop two or three pimples a day, but now I only have one active breakout. I bought this for acne, but my skin texture has improved tremendously as well. When washing my face, it felt strangely slippery as if there was leftover cream no matter how long I rinsed. Why? Because that smoothness was actually my own skin!
ConsIt can cause itching and tingling sensations. This varies from person to person - I experienced some symptoms, but they weren't bothersome enough to worry about, and I didn't have any side effects. Major pilling issues. Since I tend to apply generously, I only use it on days when I'm not wearing makeup. Even without makeup, if you apply too much, it can leave visible residue on your neck. It's best to stay at home when possible if you're using this product.

I also feel like my complexion has become brighter.
ConsThere's a tingling sensation for about 5 minutes after application, but it subsides if you can bear it. It can be a bit challenging to apply due to its dryness, and it might leave your skin feeling dry. I personally apply it right over my moisturizer.
