Azaelaic & Kojic Advanced Clarifying Serum

What it is: This advanced serum targets the nine* most stubborn facial concerns: dark spots, dullness, enlarged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, excess sebum, rough texture, uneven tone and post-blemish hyperpigmentation.

*Clinical evaluation of efficacy when tested over a 28-day period on a group of 31 subjects.

Who it's for: Ideal for most skin types. For sensitive skin types, do a patch test 24 hours before use. If you're new to exfoliating acids, start with twice-weekly use and build up gradually to daily use based on your skin tolerance.

What it does: The serum is supercharged with 10% azelaic acid, for gentle-yet-efficacious exfoliation, helping fade red marks and textural micro-irregularities left behind by a blemish, refining and smoothing overall skin texture. It sinks in to purify and balance excess sebum, tighten pore walls, plus smooth and even skin tone. The lightweight, silky texture glides over skin effortlessly without rubbing. It rapidly absorbs into skin with no sticky feeling and is easy to add to any supercharged routine.

Key ingredients:

- 10% Azelaic Acid: a mild exfoliant clinically proven to help diminish the look of blemishes, unclog pores, fade pigmentation, and refine rough skin texture

- 1% Kojic Acid: a natural compound produced by fungi that helps brighten, provide antioxidant protection, and visibly reduce the appearance of redness and blemish marks

- 3% Hexylresorcinol Complex: a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals that accelerate aging and promotes an even skin tone for a more firm, radiant complexion
