Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Ceramide NP is a type of ceramide.
Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin that bonds dead skin cells together to create a barrier. They are known for their ability to hold water and thus are a great ingredient for dry skin.
Ceramides are an important building block for our skin barrier. A stronger barrier helps the skin look more firm and hydrated. By bolstering the skin ceramides act as a barrier against irritating ingredients. This can help with inflammation as well.
If you would like to eat ceramides, sweet potatoes contain a small amount.

Balea Beauty Expert Calming Serum contains this as ingredient number 16.
Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.
Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.
Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.
You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.
There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

Great Azelaic Acid product for beginners
I find this product very gentle and moderately effective. You can see some improvements on hyperpigmentation and overall skin complexion without any irritation. For me the biggest downside is the runny oily consistency. The product has squalane oil on its base but it's very lightweight and I was able to tolerate it in my oily skin at night, despite not being a fan of the shiny finish. It has a runny consistency and you just need the smallest of drops to get the best of the product. The product is prone to move around in the face. One time I was already in bed ready to sleep and I had the oily product running into my eyes. After that I stopped using it altogether. Best for people who want to start using azelaic acid and/or have sensitive or dry skin types. Not ideal if you used Azelaic acid before in stronger concentrations and you need that power. Not ideal for oily skin despite being lightweight and runny. Combination skin might like this.
