It’s a great starter product with azelic acid.
The price is relatively cheap, the tube will last you long time and it delivers what it should - azelic acid.
However, despite people’s suggestions here I personally would not use it as last step. It does not say it on their homepage but azelic acid has usually low ph. Thus adding it as last step might cause damaged skin barrier on a long run! Show more

Hate
I have rosacea and perioral dermatitis so I thought this would heal my skin but I HATE it. It’s silicone based so it dries matte and you can’t apply sunscreen or any makeup on top. You also can’t reapply because it’ll start pilling. Don’t even think about touching your face after putting this on because it’ll pill. It also stings really bad which is the opposite of what you need for rosacea Show more

Hmmmm its got an oily consistency, nice smell but thats a minus in my book. Takes FOREVEERRRR to dry. I wouldn’t apply this in the morning unless you have an extra 20 minutes on ur hands since im pretty sure you have to let all products dry before applying sunscreen. Don’t know how true it is but i don’t play about with sunscreen. Maybe I should’ve given it at least 2 months before judging, but Show more
