An effective azeleic acid serum. One of my gripes about Azeleic products is normally the texture and how it settles powdery or pilling. This however is elegant emulsion feel, spreads well and doesn’t pill! Really helped with my texture and overall. There is a slight smell (not fragrance) but it doesn’t bother me, disappears after a few seconds.
