The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, £5.50 for 30ml

However, not all are off-limits. Try azelaic acid, advises aesthetic doctor, Dr David Jack. As well as being one of the least irritating acids, it also calms redness and reduces dryness. This fragrance-free pick from The Ordinary is particularly great in this regard.
