The science
Science

Azelaic acid is a powerful antioxidant found in nature. It’s easily absorbed into the skin, and helps calm inflammation, repair environmental damage and boost brightness. We’ve combined it with hydrating Glycerin and Squalane to give your skin extra nourishment and protect its natural barrier.

Despite containing one of the highest concentrations of Azelaic Acid available, this cream is still gentle enough for all skin types. It also doesn’t react with other actives in your routine.

Ingredients

Full ingredients:

Aqua, Azelaic Acid, Propanediol, Squalane, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-75 Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, Cetyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Sodium Hydroxide, Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Phytosphingosine, Cholesterol, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Ceramide EOP.

How to use

Apply 1-2 pumps morning and evening on clean, dry skin. Wait five minutes before following up with moisturiser if needed and SPF in the morning. You can use this cream alongside your personalized formula or other actives in your routine.

Step 1: Cleanse

“Every evening, I begin my skincare routine by cleaning my face with a cleanser to wash away any makeup, SPF and grease off my face.”

Step 2: Prescription

“To tackle some fine lines, I apply my personalized formula before I use any other product.”

Step 3: Treat

“Especially during the colder months, my skin tends to be very dry. The serum is perfect to add a little bit of extra hydration to my skin!”

Step 4: Moisturize

“Lastly, I add a moisturizer to lock in the hydration. In warmer months, I tend to pick a gel moisturizer, as I like the lightweight texture.”

Step 5: Protect

“In the morning, I always apply an SPF to protect my skin against any sun damage, and to help prevent any future wrinkles.”
