Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Squalane is an emollient that helps the skin hold onto moisture. It's an oily liquid that occurs naturally in certain types of fish and plant oils.
Because squalane boosts hydration in the skin, it also comes with plenty of benefits: it is an antioxidant and can help fight free radicals and skin damage. Squalane is also found to have a detoxifying effect when applied.
Squalane comes from squalene, which occurs naturally within the sebum of our skin. It is one of the oils our skin produces to keep itself hydrated. Squalane is the hydrogenated version of squalene and has a longer shelf life.
Research shows that squalane is non-irritating (even at 100% concentration).
In general, it's a fantastic ingredient. It does a great job at hydrating the skin, and it's suitable for those with sensitive skin.
The source of squalane may impact malassezia / fungal acne. This is because olive oil derived squalane can contain impurities such as fatty acids and plant waxes. Sugarcane derived squalane is recommended for anyone with malassezia concerns.
Is squalane vegan?
This depends on the source. Squalane can be derived from both plants and animals. Most squalane used in skincare comes from plants.
Please note: the source of squalane is only known if disclosed by the brand. We recommend reaching out to the brand if you have any questions about their squalane.

Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum 35 ingredients
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
