Key Ingredients & Benefits

Azelaic Acid (20%)

Azelaic Acid is the star ingredient in this high-strength treatment. At 20%, it is formulated to intensively target persistent blemishes, visible redness, post-acne marks, uneven texture, and excess sebum.

Panthenol (Vitamin B5)

Panthenol helps condition the skin and maintain moisture for a softer, more comfortable feel. It balances the intensive treatment focus of Azelaic Acid with soothing and hydration support.

Centella Asiatica Complex

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

Alpha-Arbutin

Alpha-Arbutin is included for targeted brightening care. It helps improve the appearance of dark spots and post-blemish marks, complementing Azelaic Acid when uneven tone is a concern.

Zinc PCA

Zinc PCA provides sebum-regulating support and helps create a more balanced-looking complexion. It is particularly relevant for skin prone to excess shine and recurring blemishes.

Hyaluronic Acid Complex

The formula contains five forms of Hyaluronic Acid, including Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hyaluronic Acid, and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate. Together, these moisture-binding ingredients help support a hydrated, supple skin feel.

Allantoin

Allantoin is a skin-conditioning ingredient included alongside Panthenol and Centella-derived ingredients. It helps support a more comfortable feel while complementing the formula's soothing focus.

How to Use

1. Start With Clean Skin — After cleansing and toning, apply a proper amount evenly to the face while avoiding the eye area.
2. Use a Thin Layer — Apply a pea-sized amount over the affected areas or a thin layer across the face.
3. Begin Gradually — Start once daily, preferably in the evening, and increase to twice daily only if your skin tolerates it comfortably.
4. Follow With Sun Protection — Use sunscreen daily while using the product and continue sunscreen use for one week after stopping it.

Use: AM / PM / Both

Where in routine: After cleansing and toning; before moisturizer

Pro Tip: Because 20% Azelaic Acid is a high-strength formula, start slowly rather than introducing it alongside several other strong actives at once. If using it over the entire face, separate high-potency actives such as retinol, Vitamin C, Alpha-Arbutin, Niacinamide, or AHA/BHA to another time of day.
