Best Azelaic Acid product I've tried
I was struggling to use Azelaic Acid on my skin and this was the product that worked the best. It has the effectiveness of a 10% concentration in a formulation rich in soothing ingredients like panthenol and centella. All the irritation I was having with azelaic acid disappeared and now it has become one of my stapple ingredients. My only issue with peach slices is that I don't live in the US and I need to pay import taxes over a product that at baseline is not very cheap. If you live in the US, I would recommend highly this product.

It literally pills with every product I've tried, it's impossible to use. It has a very gummy texture that never gets absorbed into the skin, it only stays on top like a silicon-y film that will ruin any other product you combine it with, and also avoiding the formula to penetrate and actually do some work into your skin. So despite it's relatively high concentration of Azelaic Acid, it takes way more time to show results than similar products (if you're still using it by then).
If you're interested on an alternative: "AZID" from "Theramid" is a great serum, with a 15% of Azelaic Acid that in my experience, can work wonders.
