Details & care
What it is: A cream-like formula that brightens skin tone and visibly improves skin texture due to a high concentration of azelaic acid.
Who it's for: Ideal for those with uneven and blemish-prone skin types.
What it does: Azelaic acid is a natural and effective antioxidant found in grains. It has a lower irritation potential than other direct acids, which means it's gentle enough for daily use.
How to use: Apply a small amount of the cream to the face morning and evening.

Poor quality
I have been using consistently for about 2 months and it has made my skin worse. I heard it makes ur skin purge the first few weeks but then starts improving but it has done absolutely nothing for my skin. Waste of my money

Great Product
This is one of the best creams I’ve ever used. I used to have small red bumps on my forehead and my skin is so much clearer now and looks much more healthier. Great product, I will be a forever customer.

Goodbye redness! My skin looks so much more even.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this Azelaic Acid Suspension and the change in my skin’s texture is remarkable. What I love most is that, unlike other direct acids, this one is very gentle and doesn’t irritate my skin at all. I had some areas with redness and uneven tone, and after a few weeks, my face looks much brighter and clearer. The creamy texture feels great and absorbs quickly. It has become an essential step in my daily routine to keep blemishes under control. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a more radiant complexion!

Great for Sensitive Skin
I just moved to a city that has very cold, windy winters. I'm not a doctor, so take this with a grain of salt, but this has been an absolute game changer for my rosacea. Redness, rosacea-related breakouts, even thickened skin have all gotten better since I started. Highly recommend.

Great Product
i started using this product ~1 month ago and already see a huge difference in my skin. i use it morning and night, specifically to help with acne-prone areas and acne scars. my primary problem areas have been chin and hairline, and this product has stopped new blemishes from developing and reduced redness from prior ones. it is the only new product i have introduced to my routine, so i’m fairly certain it is the reason for these positive improvements (though with acne, who knows!!). currently just using this azelaic acid + cera ve moisturizing cream + sunscreen. chefs kiss!

Great for acne.
This is one of the most affordable azelaic acids on the market right now. I need a treatment product that would help reduce redness, skin texture, and acne on my face. This product was highly recommended. When it comes to delivery, exactly what it is meant to do, it does wonders. The only reason I may not repurchase this product once I am done with it. Is because it stings on application, and it needs at least 30 mins to an hour to settle down, but otherwise it's very effective.
