This is the best azelaic acid products Ive used. It's lightweight, not oily or sticky and it works great with the other products I use. I used to use The Ordinary's azelaic acid, but the pilling drove me nuts, and it didn't play well with other products at all. I have rosacea, and it keeps the redness at bay; sometimes it will almost disappear. If I wake up with pustules or the red bumps one gets with rosacea, they're gone by the next day. It has also refined the orange peel texture of my skin (the area affected by rosacea), but I also use products with vitamin C. I also have mature skin, and this product doesn't dry my skin out, which is very easy to do. I do have other items in my skincare routine, but I feel this product does most (not all!) of the heavy lifting. I highly recommend this product. Read more
I'm so glad I switched to anua! I was on curo**** for a few years, when it does give visual that my skin is brightening my skin in constant feel of dryness and flaking non stop. I'm still on my first anua serum bottle, but I no longer dread my night routine of Tret, I always look forward to putting on my night serum because I know how my skin will feel so supple, bouncy and clear after application, I do double moisturize after the first absorbed. I can feel that my skin is happy from the way it look and feel specially in the morning it looked super glowy. Good quality, no weird smell and I like the drop application! I'm a very happy customer and will try to get hubby into the same routine! Read more
My girlfriend has been using this serum for about 4 months, and it’s been wonderful. It really helps calm redness and leaves her skin feeling smooth and hydrated. The texture is light, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t feel sticky at all. Her skin looks more even and fresh since she started using it, and it hasn’t caused any irritation. The formula feels gentle but still effective, and she loves that it’s vegan and has a clean ingredient list. Overall, a great option for sensitive or easily irritated skin. Read more
Definitely helps eliminate redness. Leaves a little burn on fresh acne. It’s smooth and not oily, moisturizing. Applied too often led to worse acne so I had to find the right amount for my skin. My skin glows and the quality has improved so much! Read more
Most azelaic acid serums I’ve tried have been super drying, but this one from Anua feels really nice on the skin. The texture is more of a watery serum — lightweight and smooth — and it sinks in quickly without feeling heavy or sticky. It’s not as hydrating as a true hydrating serum or pure hyaluronic acid, but for an azelaic acid product, it’s honestly amazing. It helps a lot with my redness and post-breakout irritation, and it seems to calm my skin overall. I also love that it plays well with other skincare ‐ no pilling, no weird reactions, and it layers nicely under moisturizer or sunscreen. Just don’t go overboard with it ‐ if you use too much, it can turn a little white when you rub it in. You really only need a few drops (I use about 3–4 for my whole face). Overall, this is one of the few azelaic acid serums that actually feels comfortable to use and gives visible soothing results. Read more
Great product works great and leaves my skin super soft. Reduces the redness and inflammation overnight and I see visible difference in just 3 days. Very moisturizing and easy to apply Read more
This stuff really works. Be careful though, as it can burn if you apply it too frequently. I put it on before bed and woke up to skin that wasn’t as red. It does leave a white residue if applied too heavily. I tried to apply it again in the morning and it made some areas redder and felt like it was burning, so I think I need to give it more time between applications. I rinsed my face and applied a eucerin cream and my face calmed down. Read more
I've had some mild blotchy redness on my cheeks for all my life with some irritation I thought was acne. I started treating for rosacea about a week ago with this and there is a noticeable difference with my redness. My skin is much smoother and less irritated. Read more
