Azelaic Acid Derivative Complex 10% Serum, Niacinamide & Vitamin C, 1 fl oz

I wanted to incorporate Azelaic Acid into my skincare routine and came across this serum, looking for a product with at least 10% Azelaic Acid. My skin concerns are uneven skin tone, sebaceous filaments, enlarged pores and a tendency for hormonal acne around my chin area combined with the need to also support my skin in its aging process (I’m 43). I have been using this for roughly a month in a skin routine where I use peptides, AHAs, BHAs and retinoids on alternating days/times. I no longer like to use harsh BHAs (besides of a 2% salicylic acid treatment 3 times per week), especially not on a daily base. This is an effective yet gentle serum and it also contains niacinamide as well which is a bonus. You could probably use this daily if your skin tolerates it, but I use peptides in the morning which can cancel out acids and vice versa if used in the same routine, so I use this on peptide-free mornings or retinoid-free nights. I really like Naturium as a brand, I also use their 2% Salicyclic Acid a few times per week and both of these products haven’t irritated my skin but have improved skin texture and I now barely get any impurities anymore at all.

I’ve been using the Naturium Azelaic Topical Acid 10% for a few weeks now, and it’s been a really solid addition to my routine. The texture is smooth and lightweight, almost like a light cream rather than a typical treatment product. It spreads easily and absorbs without leaving a sticky finish. I started using it to help with mild redness and uneven texture, and over time I’ve noticed my skin looks more balanced. It’s not an overnight fix, but with consistent use, my complexion appears calmer and a bit more even. I also appreciate that it hasn’t caused irritation or dryness, which can sometimes happen with stronger treatments. It layers well under moisturizer and sunscreen and doesn’t pill. I’ve used it both in the morning and at night without any issues. Overall, it’s a gentle yet effective option if you’re looking to target redness, minor breakouts, or uneven skin tone without overwhelming your skin.

Honestly, I didn't expect to like it this much. I struggle with acne breakouts, and since I started using it, I've noticed my skin looks much calmer. When I do get a pimple, I feel like the inflammation goes down faster and the redness subsides significantly. Plus, it hasn't irritated my skin, and it feels very lightweight upon application. I'm still using it, but so far it has worked really well for me, and I would definitely buy it again.

I read the reviews before buying and there was mentions about this smelling weird and confirm it’s true but I looked it up and it’s cause it’s in its pure form and it’s medical so no fragrances added. This doesn’t sting or burn, I was scared for that but everything was fine my skin reacted good. I like how the bottle is glass like and I’ve seen improvement already since using it. It hasn’t dried my face or made it red but I am using 2-3 times weekly. Good quantity for the price and it’s not heavy on the skin.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’ve been using this azelaic acid consistently for a few weeks and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. My skin is very sensitive and dry, but also acne-prone postpartum, and this has helped calm redness, smooth texture, and fade stubborn marks without irritating my skin. The formula feels lightweight and layers well with the rest of my skincare. I also love that it includes niacinamide and vitamin C, so my skin looks brighter and more even overall. Unlike some other azelaic acid products I’ve tried, this one doesn’t pill or leave my face feeling tight and dry. I noticed my skin looking calmer within the first week, and after continued use my pores and hormonal breakouts around my nose and upper lip have improved a lot. A little goes a long way, so the jumbo size is worth it. Definitely a staple in my routine now!

The formula of this product is fantastic. It is very gentle with the skin and did not cause me any irritation or outbreaks. The quality of the packaging is excellent and allows you to dose the cream very well without wasting anything. The delivery by Amazon was fast and impeccable.

It works okay but I cannot get over the smell. It smells horrible to the point where I can’t get myself to use it. I haven’t noticed any different in my skin but that is probably because I’ve only used it a few times due to the smell. I saw other reviews say it smells like saliva and it 1000% does.

Honestly, I didn't WANT to like this. Being very involved in the skincare community I'd always loved Susan Yara but was really upset with everything I'd heard about how she handled this brand. But I have really dry skin with some crappy rosacea that's very noticeable. 2 ingredients always helped, vitamin C and azelaic acid. I'd tried The Ordinary azelaic acid and I hated the texture of it. It was thicker serum like a lotion and it would pill up really badly. Couldn't layer it under makeup or with other skincare. I'd tried the Paula's Choice one but it was a cream and has salicylic acid in it which was nice around my nose but not on my dry cheeks. I found a random brand on Amazon but it had WAY too much hyaluronic acid in it which breaks me out. So finally tried this. And I LOVE it. It is formulated with vitamin c in it so I don't have to worry about messing up anything efficacy by mixing or layering myself. It's thin actually like a serum. Completely non-greasy, soaks into skin, doesn't sit on it. Has a high level of azelaic acid. It has niacinamide in it too! So one other less thing I need to worry about mixing in myself. For my skin these 3 ingredients have always been amazing and this serum has been the best way to deliver them together in an easy convenient way. This isn't super expensive, the glass (yay! Recyclable!) bottle is really nice, it's Amazon prime so if you run out it can get to you in 1 or 2 days. The ingredients are simple and its not fragrances. It's literally everything I was looking for. I feel badly now for being so negative towards this brand and Susan in particular. The more I look into the products and formulations it's pretty clear that the aim is to actually bring good products to market. I'm so so so glad I tried this. It's now a staple in my routine and that's saying A LOT. I have literally 1 bathroom and 1 bedroom filled with skincare. I hardly ever purchase new or repurchase things because I have so much. But this is absolutely never leaving my routine. I'm so so so happy with this. I've seen results with azelaic acid and vitamin c and niacinimide, and I've seen quite obvious differences with this serum. Its so many steps in 1 for me and layers beautifully with other skincare and under makeup. I will 10000% be purchasing more from the brand and I hope everything else makes me as happy as this little bottle has. If you have rosacea PLEASE try this and give it some time to work. It's changed my skin so much for the better and I hope the best for everyone else on their skincare journey.

Excellent product during pregnancy. Helped with my inflammation and mild acne. Very gentle on the skin.

Mi piel es sensible y suele quedarse con manchas cada que me sale una imperfección, este producto las ha eliminado a la perfección en un mes o dos dependiendo la gravedad cuando ningún otro me ha servido, y también mantiene los poros de la piel cerrados

I have been using this product from past 1 month. Nothing noticeable yet.The hyperpigmentation is still there,no glow or anything great to make me fall in love with this product.It didn't break me out,so I m still using it.
