Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum

This serum helps with irritation, blemishes, marks, oil and texture:

• Irritation: it helps calm it.
• Blemishes: it fades their look.
• Dark spots after a breakout: also called post-blemish marks.
• Excess oil: it helps balance it.
• Uneven texture and small bumps: it helps refine them.

It works best as the treatment step in our Acne Kit.

1. Cleanse.
2. Use your toner.
3. Apply this serum.
4. Follow with your moisturizer.

Start once or twice a week, then build up to twice a day.

Using a strong acid or retinol? Use them on different nights at first.

Azelaic acid makes up 10% of the formula, second on the list right after water.

It soothes redness and fades the look of blemishes. It also fades the look of the marks they leave.

No fragrance or alcohol (ethanol) appears in the ingredient list.

• Sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid): adds moisture without weight.
• Panthenol and allantoin: help skin feel comfortable.
• Centella, madecassoside and asiaticoside: centella’s calming compounds.
• Dipotassium glycyrrhizate: another calming ingredient, from licorice root.
• Niacinamide and zinc PCA: support oily skin.
• Ceramide NP and squalane: a little, for the skin barrier.

A fake can look the same and contain no azelaic acid at all.

Or it can irritate, and on deeper skin irritation leaves more dark marks.

Fading marks also means stopping new ones: Nakuru sits at about 1,850m.

UV rises with altitude, and UV drives the pigment behind dark marks.

It tested as low-irritation, but azelaic acid is an active ingredient. That's why you should start once or twice a week and build up slowly. If it stings or your skin goes red and stays red, stop and message us.
