Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum, 1.01 fl oz | Facial Serum for Blemish-Prone & Oily-Prone Skin, Lightweight & Hydrating Blemish Care, Hyaluronic Acid, Korean Skincare

I’ve suffered with hormonal acne, flushing (redness), and bumpy skin texture since I was 12 years old, I am now 31 and my skin has never looked or felt this good! I wore heavy foundation from 12-21/22 years old because I hated my skin so much and was self-conscious about it. I’ve never really had an even skin tone due to acne scaring, rosacea, and I always flush really bad during social situations which is embarrassing. I started off using the ordinary’s azelaic acid and though it was helping, it was really gritty and just didn’t feel right on my skin. I’ve always been more of a hydrating serum girl so when I found this one I couldn’t wait to try it. I’ve now been using Anua’s azelaic acid for 4-5 weeks and I’ve noticed such a difference in my hormonal acne, I do still get spots just not as bad as I used to and they go away so much faster so I haven’t felt the need to pick at my skin and it’s not as itchy so I haven’t felt the need to touch my face. I still flush during social situations but it’s not as bad and goes away in seconds so it isn’t as embarrassing and my skin tone is so much more even than it used to be. I feel so much more confident in my skin now, it’s so well hydrated, smooth, and even that I could cry. I also wear N95 masks, sweat most of the day, and get covered in dust while working and tend to break out from it but haven’t had any major issues. I started out using it every night and switched to 2x/day maybe a couple of weeks ago and haven’t had any irritation. I know it takes 8-12 weeks of using a product to really see any results but oh my goodness, if this is how good my skin looks at 4-5 weeks I’m not sure what I’ll do with myself if it gets even better than this. Just make sure when you apply it that you only let it sit for maybe a minute then put your moisturizer on or else it turns white when it dries. It layers so nicely under moisturizer and spf compared to the ordinary’s azelaic acid and I’m sure it would do really well under makeup. If you’re considering using this product I would highly recommend giving this one a chance and if you’re not sure if you should get this one or the ordinary, get this one!

Fantastic serum. Holy smokes. I tend to Yolo my skincare routine and sometimes I make mistakes an my skin takes the hit. HOWEVER this serum is perfect for my senstive skin when I make oopsies. It calms the irritation. Doesnt cause further irritation. Calms the redness in my skin which I have naturally. Leaves my skin feeling smooth, firm and hydrated with a glass like appearance. Which I adore. Isnt sticky or tacky. The glass bottle is weighted with a fantastic design for the serum wand to go into without losing additional product leaving a chic design that is large for the price and a little goes a long way! Surprised && delighted

Update: after using this 2 months, I will be reordering. The rosacea redness to my cheeks and nose have drastically reduced. I use it every other day. I tried a routine of on alternating mornings using vitamin c one day and this Anua azelaic acid the next. Cleanse, tone, azelaic acid, and then whatever I'm doing next (including SPF if I'm going outside). I don't use it at night, preferring a different routine with actives at night. I don't use the hypochlorous acid on my face very often at all now so the Anua is doing the work of hydrating and helping calm my skin. Note that I have aging skin that likely could be prone to dryness but I am meticulous about my skincare so my skin isn't dry - so though they advertise it's for blemish-prone skin, I use it for rosacea redness, and alternating plus hydrating before and after azelaic acid is what works for my skin. ------ The first time I tried this over my entire face, it made my face immediately red so I considered returning it. However, I had used other serums and thought maybe it was just too much at once for my rosacea-prone skin, and that I used too much as well. (I will add that I did a small patch test along my jawbone and let that absorb for hours - always do a patch test of an unfamiliar product!) After a couple of days, I tried it again, and I am impressed! This time, I hadn't used my tretinoin the night before - since I just went up in strength, my skin has been reactive. This time I cleansed my face using Thayer's milk cleanser, which is very soothing, and in fact is one of the only non-Korean beauty products in my skincare routine. Then I used my TirTir milky toner. I waited 5-10 minutes, then I applied just a little bit of this Anua Azelaic Acid over my entire face. I was very surprised that there was no burning or irritation. And also surprised that a few minutes later some of the redness on my cheeks were calmed down--nothing earthshaking but there was a slight difference. I let that absorb/sit for about 10 minutes and then I applied my Cosrx ceramide booster serum, which is very hydrating, and after letting that absorb for 5 or 10 minutes, I applied my Cosrx snail music to further hydrate. I'll be applying another moisturizer to seal it all in. I tried it again the next day and had similar results - again, not using my tret the night before or the C the same morning. This likely, at least at first, won't be a part of my daily routine as I think it could be too strong for my skin along with the other actives I use. For example, I won't use it when I apply my vitamin C until I lower the strength or until my skin is used to the azelaic acid, and I definitely wouldn't use it right before or right after tretinoin. I will do as they suggest and at first use it maybe 2x a week, so on weekends when I don't use my tretinoin or vitamin c, I will use this Anua azelaic acid. After doing this for a couple weeks, I may experiment and start using it more often --perhaps alternating this and my vitamin c since my vitamin c is really strong. As well I may consider lowering my vitamin c strength, and go back to the lower strength tret. (Update: I was out of town so I took a 4-day break from tret and vitamin c and tried this every morning after toning with hypochlorous acid (I let the HA dry completely first), and this didn't irritate my skin at all, and in fact, helped the redness. I am going to find a way to add it to my routine maybe by alternating days using this and vitamin c.) This is fragrance free, which is a must for me. The consistency is thin but not overly watery - glides on easily. I bought mine on Spring Sale so I'm happy about that. I will also add that I use Metrocream, and hypochlorous acid spray (Prequel) on my skin a few times a week and that helps the redness as well. It's an experimental process to find what will be right for my rosacea and aging skin. I am hoping with regular use my redness will calm even more as I hate the flushing across my cheeks and nose that I've dealt with for many years. I'm hopeful!

The Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum is a great choice if you deal with redness, sensitivity, or blemish‑prone skin. Even with 10%, azelaic acid it is surprisingly gentle — no stinging, no dryness — and the added hyaluronic acid gives it a smooth, hydrating finish that absorbs quickly, not heavy or sticky I have noticed a reduction in irritation and my skin tone looked more even overall. It has helped calm active breakouts without irritating the surrounding skin. The lightweight texture layers perfectly under moisturizer and doesn’t pill, making it easy to fit into both morning and nighttime routines. If your skin gets easily inflamed or you’re looking for a serum that targets blemishes and soothes at the same time, this one delivers results with a calm, comfortable feel.

I’ve struggled with rosacea for years — redness, sensitivity, and occasional breakouts. After reading the product description and many positive reviews, I decided to try the Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum. I’ve only been using it for one week (morning and night after cleansing), and I’m already noticing a difference. My skin looks calmer, the redness is starting to fade, and it feels more hydrated and soothed. I haven’t experienced any irritation, stinging, or purging, which is a big win for my sensitive skin. The serum has a lightweight, watery texture that absorbs quickly without feeling sticky — perfect under moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning. I also like that it contains hyaluronic acid, so it doesn’t dry out my skin. It’s still early, but I’m genuinely impressed with the results so far. I’ll continue using it and update my review after a few more weeks. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with rosacea or redness-prone skin!

Great brand but it's also affordable on Amazon. It has helped me so much with my acnea breakout and I love my routine. People have commented that they appreciate and realize how bright are my skin is getting and my skin tone is more even. I also love the fact that it's affordable and I don't have to spend an arm in a leg to get something to help me with my stress breakout. My skin is feeling amazing. But also the fragrance is not too strong, especially since I am sensitive.

This fragrance free serum works great on sensitive/combination skin. I found it to be lightweight and give my skin a glowy appearance while helping with redness/small acne. I was shocked at the quality for the price + it lasts a while. This is worth trying!

100% works. Made my skin less red and irritated. Evened out of skin tone. Effectively fades acne scars over time. I will say it doesn’t fend off my hormonal acne but that’s understandable. Definitely an internal issue. Did however clear up random breakouts. Consistency is definitely important with this product. Very hydrating

Me gusta muchísimo, ya lo eh pedido antes y me ayudó muchísimo con el problema de acné que tenía. Probé muchas cosas y este producto fue lo que me funcionó. Súper recomendado.

Zeer efficiënt serum. Resultaten zichtbaar na drie dagen gebruik.

Excelente producto

I have a lot of brown and red spots due to old acne , and had it for years . Came across Thai product and use it everyday . In almost a week I see results and shocked that I never knew about this before . My spots have reduced significantly

I’ve been using this every morning and it has genuinely become a staple in my routine. I actually documented my progress in a TikTok slideshow that ended up getting over 68,000 views because the difference in my skin was so noticeable. The first couple of weeks weren’t perfect, and I almost stopped using it, but I’m glad I stayed consistent. Over time my skin became smoother, my pores looked smaller, and my overall complexion looked healthier and more even. I use it every morning followed by sunscreen, and that combination has worked really well for me. Of course everyone’s skin is different, but this product made a visible difference in mine and I’ll definitely be repurchasing. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
