The ANUA Azelaic Acid 10% + Hyaluron Serum is a well-regarded serum for its lightweight, non-sticky texture that effectively calms redness, reduces breakouts, fades marks, and provides hydration. Users appreciate its quick absorption and gentle formulation, making it suitable for daily use and sensitive, acne-prone, or rosacea-affected skin. While many users find it beneficial for achieving a smoother, calmer, and more even complexion, some report it didn't work for them or even caused breakouts.
Key Benefits & Features
- Users consistently report that the serum significantly decreases redness, especially in those with rosacea or post-inflammatory erythema from acne.
- The included hyaluronic acid provides deep and long-lasting hydration, keeping the skin balanced and calm without a sticky residue.
- The serum has a lightweight, watery consistency that absorbs quickly and feels refreshing, unlike heavier azelaic acid products.
- The formula includes a Gentle Calming Complex™, which helps to soothe irritation and strengthen the skin's barrier, making it suitable for daily use, even for sensitive skin.
- It helps reduce breakouts and prevent flare-ups, contributing to a clearer complexion.
Potential Drawbacks
- While effective for many, some users with sensitive or combination skin did not see benefits or experienced breakouts.
- While considered gentle, some individuals with very sensitive skin may still find it causes irritation, particularly when used with other actives like retinol or vitamin C.
How to Use
- Apply an adequate amount of the serum to dry skin after cleansing.
- It can be used as part of your routine between your toner and moisturizer.
- Start by using it once or twice a week and gradually increase frequency to twice daily as tolerated.
