Key Ingredients & Benefits

Azelaic Acid (10%)

The star ingredient is 10% azelaic acid, a multifunctional clarifying active that helps improve the appearance of blemishes, redness, post-acne marks, uneven tone, and texture. COSRX describes the formula as containing highly concentrated 99% pure azelaic acid at a 10% level.

Panthenol (Vitamin B5)

Panthenol helps condition the skin and support moisture retention. It adds a soothing, comfortable element to the formula, which is particularly useful alongside a clarifying active such as azelaic acid.

Centella Asiatica Complex

The formula contains four Centella-derived actives: Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, and Asiatic Acid. Together, they help calm the appearance of redness and irritation while supporting a more comfortable-looking complexion.

Alpha-Arbutin

Alpha-Arbutin is included for brightening-focused care. It helps improve the appearance of dark spots and post-blemish marks, making it a useful complement to azelaic acid when uneven tone is a concern.

Zinc PCA

Zinc PCA provides sebum-regulating support and helps reduce the appearance of excess shine. This makes it particularly relevant for blemish-prone skin that also struggles with oiliness.

Hyaluronic Acid Complex

The formula contains several forms of Hyaluronic Acid, including Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hyaluronic Acid, and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate. These humectants help maintain a hydrated, supple skin feel.

Allantoin

Allantoin is a skin-conditioning ingredient known for helping keep skin feeling calm and comfortable. Here, it complements Panthenol and the Centella complex within the soothing side of the formula.

How to Use

1. Start With Clean Skin — After cleansing and toner, apply a proper amount evenly over the face while avoiding the eye area.
2. Use a Thin Layer — Spread the cream gently rather than applying an unnecessarily thick layer across the entire face.
3. Adjust Your Frequency — Use once daily at first if your skin is new to azelaic acid, then increase to twice daily if comfortably tolerated.
4. Finish With Sun Protection — Apply sunscreen during the day while using the product and for one week after stopping it.

Use: AM / PM / Both

Where in routine: After toner and before moisturizer; if used as your moisturizer, it can be the final treatment step before sunscreen in the AM.

Pro Tip: If you're introducing azelaic acid for the first time, begin once daily and avoid layering several strong actives in the same full-face routine until you know how your skin responds.
