most calming and hydrating azelaic acid product I've ever used! I experienced no irritation and overall this is a nice serum - but I think that might be partly because there's just not enough azelaic acid in this, unfortunately. APLB don't seem to obviously display their ingredient concentrations so I could only find one source that stated the concentration was 3-4% which isn't enough for me. Show more

This serum is really good. But does anyone know what percentage of salicylic acid it contains?Because I really need to know.
