Common questions
Is The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Cream fragrance-free?
Yes. No fragrance, essential oils or fragrance allergens are listed in its ingredients.
Does The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Cream contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.
Is The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Cream safe for fungal acne?
It contains one ingredient that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: polysorbates (polysorbate 60). How much it matters depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
Is The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains azelaic acid, an exfoliating acid, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
