"The Ordinary made my face look like it had dirt on it — the pilling was terrible. This one actually absorbs. My redness is finally calming down."
"I was terrified to try azelaic acid again after my last experience. Started slow like they said. No itching. No flaring. My skin looks more even."
"Finally something that works under my SPF and foundation without balling up. I actually look forward to my morning routine now."
Not all azelaic acid is created equal.

It shouldn't — but start slow. Use every other night for the first week. If you see flaring, back off to twice a week. Azelaic acid is actually one of the few ingredients dermatologists recommend FOR rosacea.
Pilling happens with thick, silicone-heavy formulas or when you apply too much on damp skin. Our serum is water-based and silky — it absorbs cleanly. Follow our tips and you shouldn't have issues.
Not for 10%. Prescription Finacea is 15%, but 10% is available OTC. We ship directly to you — no pharmacy needed.
Yes, but not together. Use one in the morning and one at night. Or alternate nights. Using both together can be too much.
Yes — they work well together. Apply Vitamin C first, wait a minute, then azelaic acid. Or split morning/night.
Back off immediately. Use less frequently. If irritation continues, stop and contact us — we'll make it right.
No more itching. No more pilling. No more redness flares. Just skin that looks even and lets you get on with your life.
