Anua - Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum

A lightweight Korean serum with 10% azelaic acid from Anua, made for redness, blemishes and the dark spots they leave behind. Niacinamide, centella compounds, zinc PCA and hyaluronic acid soothe and hydrate, so the watery drops absorb with a non-greasy finish.

What it's for

• Calming the look of redness and blemishes (Anua's stated purpose)
• Fading the look of dark spots left after breakouts
• Balancing excess oil and helping keep pores clear
• Smoothing uneven texture and small bumps

Good for: oily, sensitive and acne-prone skin, as Anua recommends it, and anyone dealing with redness or post-acne marks.

How to use

1. After cleansing and toner, apply 1–2 drops at first (you can build up to 5 drops).
2. Pat gently into the skin, then follow with moisturizer.
3. Start 1–2 times a week and increase slowly, up to twice a day.
4. If you use it in the daytime, wear SPF 30 or higher.

Cautions

Azelaic acid can cause a brief tingle at first; stop using it if it burns, stings for a long time, or redness gets worse. Avoid the eyes and broken skin. This is a cosmetic, not a treatment for rosacea or other skin conditions; if redness is persistent, see a dermatologist. Keep out of reach of children.

Questions

Why start only 1–2 times a week?
That's Anua's direction: building up slowly lets your skin get used to azelaic acid and lowers the chance of irritation.

Can I use it with the Anua Niacinamide 10 TXA 4 Serum?
Many routines pair them for post-acne marks: one for redness and blemishes, the other for dark spots. Introduce them one at a time, and if your skin gets irritated, use one in the morning and the other at night.

Can I use it with exfoliating pads or retinol?
Wait until your skin is used to the serum, then use stronger products on different nights. Using several actives at once raises the risk of irritation.

How long does delivery take in Egypt?
Delivery takes 3–7 business days, depending on your area.

Pairs well with: a soothing cream such as Purito Wonder Releaf Centella Cream Unscented, and daily sunscreen. More options in our Serums collection, Acne & Breakouts and Redness & Sensitivity.
