Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!
Learn more about WaterAzelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid derived from grains. This ingredient is effective in treating acne, rosacea, and other skin conditions.
It has been shown to reduce the growth of acne-causing bacteria and helps reduce inflammation. On top of that, it helps reduce the production of sebum and unclog pores.
Azelaic Acid also has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants protect our skin cells from free-radical damage.
One of the main benefits of azelaic acid is that it is gentle and well-tolerated by most people.
Fun fact: The lab-created form of azelaic acid is typically used within cosmetic products for its shelf-stability.
Learn more about Azelaic AcidEthylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.
You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.
Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:
Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.
Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

Only 3 days using it and I'm impressed, my skin barrier is stronger and my acne is starting to fade quicker than the other formulas l've tried. I have sensitive skin and my redness has improved, I'm starting to fall in love 😍
WORTH THE HYPE! I’ve been using azealic acid for since 2021 and I swear it’s the best acne, post acne scar, and dark spot treatment out there. When I saw Anua come out with this, I had to get my hands on it cause I’ve been using ANUA for quite a while and it was fungal acne safe which was a huge plus for me! I’ve had a huge breakout problem in December and I’ve been using this serum since then and Show more

One of the best azelaic acid serums that I've ever tried! It is a bit sticky, but the results don't lie. I saw results in 1 month from using it nightly. There isn't any other active ingredients in this as well, which I really like. All of the other azelaic acid serums on the market contain BHA's and AHA's, and I personally just want a serum with azelaic acid. It also made a much bigger difference Show more
