Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Buffering, Masking

Azelaic 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.

For the short time that I've used this serum Ive grown to love it. A great serum for acne prone/irritated skin. This serum has helped the redness in my face as well as my post acne marks almost clear completely. Highly recommended.

This serum is VERY VERY POTENT the 5% difference from the AZ 10 is a real difference, I use it as a spot treatment for now, it literally kills any inflamed acne overnight and makes it go away in 3 days, worked for whiteheads, pimples and even under the skin bumps and cysts that I felt coming to a head went back down after applying for 3-6 days. I don't know I will try and see if I can work up to Show more
