The Ordinary face serum rich in azelaic acid is another popular pick for couperose-prone skin. It is one of the most interesting products if you want a face cosmetic to do more than merely moisturize and nourish the skin.

This cream-like hyperpigmentation serum takes a few uses to:

• lighten pigmentation spots and even the skin tone
• improve skin’s texture making it smoother
• prevent premature aging
• reduce blemishes such as broken capillaries
• ward off unwanted imperfections

The secret to success is 10% concentration of azelaic acid which deeply cleans skin, reduces acne and lessens hyperpigmentation. It’s enhanced by well-known vitamin E, aka vitamin of youth, which acts as a potent antioxidant. The formula of The Ordinary serum isn’t all-natural but it’s surely worth testing.

Not just the formula is untypical but also the consistency. As the only serum in this round-up, it is cream-like, plus comes in a bigger size because it’s recommended to use twice a day, morning and evening.
