Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum: the anti-redness and blemish serum
Azelaic acid is the unsung hero that deserves more attention: it works on redness, blemishes, and marks while remaining gentle. The Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum makes it an accessible everyday treatment. Here's how it works.
What is the Anua Azelaic Acid 10 serum used for?
It is a targeted serum for reactive and acne-prone skin. It contains 10% azelaic acid, an active ingredient known to help calm the appearance of redness, reduce blemishes, and even out skin tone, especially the brown or red marks left by pimples.
Anua combines it with a complex of 7 forms of cica (centella derivatives) to soothe and hyaluronic acid to hydrate. This is what sets it apart from harsher formulas: it treats without drying out the skin. Its lightweight texture fits easily into a morning or evening routine.
Key active ingredients
- Azelaic acid (10%): soothes redness, reduces blemishes, evens out skin tone.
- 7-Cica complex: calms and supports the skin barrier.
- Hyaluronic acid: hydrates to counteract the drying effect of active ingredients.
Who is it for?
It is particularly suitable for:
- skin prone to redness;
- skin with blemishes and recurring pimples;
- post-acne marks and uneven skin tone;
- reactive skin that cannot tolerate harsher active ingredients.
In cases of rosacea or severe acne, consult a dermatologist: this serum can complement your treatment, not replace it.
When to use it?
Morning and/or evening, on clean skin, after toner. If your skin is very sensitive, use it every other evening for the first two weeks, then increase the frequency. In the morning, always finish with SPF.
How to use it?
- After toner, place a small amount on your fingertips.
- Apply a thin layer to the entire face or only to the affected areas.
- Leave to absorb for one minute.
- Apply your cream, then SPF in the morning.
Clow's tip: a slight tingling sensation during the first few days is common with azelaic acid. If it persists or intensifies, space out your applications.
What to pair it with?
For even more soothing, combine it with the Skinfood Carrot Carotene pads and the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream, which is non-comedogenic. For the occasional pimple, keep the Some By Mi Micro Pin patches on hand.
Is the Anua Azelaic Acid serum vegan?
Yes. This serum is listed as vegan and cruelty-free: it contains no ingredients of animal origin.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be used with retinal?
Yes, but it is best to alternate them (azelaic acid in the morning, retinal in the evening) to avoid irritating the skin.
Is it suitable during pregnancy?
Azelaic acid is often considered a suitable option, but always consult your doctor or midwife.
When will results be visible?
Redness may calm down within a few weeks; for marks, allow 2 to 3 months of regular use.
