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!

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

azelaic acid is 10% not 8%
It works well for me. My acne spots and fungal acne have gotten a lot better since I’ve started using this a few months ago! I used to use the tretinoin one but this one works better for me.
