Azelaic Topical Acid 10%

I have very dry very acne prone skin. This is my third time buying The Azelaic acid serum- I absolutely adore it. It's been recommended by multiple dermatologists and cosmetic chemists that I've seen online for rec azelaic acids. Not oily or too thick, not water like either. It layers so well with other serums and under makeup to reduce and prevent breakouts. Previously my Makeup would give me closedComadones especially on my neck and forehead, but with this layered underneath there's been a drastic reduction in acne and CCs from makeup throughout the day. I'm able to use it with my Tretinoin without any issues- I do my hydrating serum's, let them dry for about 20 minutes, then apply the serum, wait 15 minutes to apply my moisturizer, then another 20 minutes before I put my tretinoin on last. Each layer needs to dry a bit so that the Azelaic acid isn't made too strong by the liquid layers before or after it (same with the Tret). Including photo of how it looks when applied

Great product. My skin loves it. I hardly break out since using this product. Simplifies my morning routine as it as niacinamide and vitamin c included.

A skincare powerhouse. Brightens skin, reduces redness, and smooths texture, with a lightweight feel and clean formula.

I want to like it, but it smells like spit

Naturium 10% Azelaic Acid is amazing! It evens out my skin tone, reduces redness, and helps with blemishes. Lightweight, gentle, and effective—love it!

Update June 2025: I came across several sources online that state this specific Naturium product uses a derivative of azelaic acid called potassium azeloyl diglycinate. This form has not been studied for efficacy nearly as much as normal azelaic acid. If you are not noticing benefits, it may be because this product uses a derivative, and not plain azelaic acid. This feels incredibly misleading because I believed azelaic acid just didn't work for me, but I am now wondering if it's because they use a poorly-studied version. I am going to find a product with the typical form and see if it works. I bought this months ago and have been trying it on my skin until recently. For context, I developed some mild redness on my cheeks and nose early this year that I suspected was rosacea - my dermatologist confirmed this a fee weeks ago. I read that while 15% was the usual go-to strength, 10% may be enough. I bought this after trying to find something that had good reviews but was also a reasonable price. I have combination skin, use cold cream and a mild foaming cleanser daily. I use tretinoin most nights. I'm 30 years old, so I don't have much texture or lines, but I do have slightly large pores that I think are genetic. This product did not work for me unfortunately. I used it consistently and as directed with no improvement in my redness or my normal skin areas. The product itself is nice to use. It sinks into the skin, doesn't pill up, and has a barely noticeable scent. I think this could be worth a try for people with mild, non-rosacea redness or skin texture problems. My skin just needs something else. I don't really have room for an active that's not working for me in my routine, so I will not be repurchasing.

I had heard of this product before but never tried it. Decided to and I am very happy I did. No breakouts when first using it either, which is not normal for me, so I was very surprised.

I tried this after my dermatologist recommended it. I have extremely sensitive combination skin and live in a very dry climate, and this doesn’t irritate it at all. In combo with using vanicream cleanser and moisturizer as well as a niacinamide serum this has helped greatly reduce irritation and dryness, as well as improve breakouts and skin texture. It’s not the cheapest stuff around but for the advantages and how long the bottle lasts the price is very reasonable. I don’t feel guilty buying it as I can see a difference when I do and don’t use it, and each bottle has lasted me multiple months.
