Research & Mechanism of Action

Azelaic Acid:
A naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in grains like barley and wheat, azelaic acid exhibits multiple skin benefits. It inhibits tyrosinase activity, contributing to its skin-brightening effects, and has antimicrobial properties that help control Propionibacterium acnes, a key bacteria involved in acne. Its anti-inflammatory effects make it ideal for reducing redness and rosacea symptoms.

Hyaluronic Acid:
A powerful humectant, hyaluronic acid can bind up to 1000 times its weight in water, ensuring deep hydration. When applied topically, it helps maintain skin moisture, improves elasticity, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and roughness.

Usage Process

1. Preparation:
   • Begin with a clean, dry face. Use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type to remove dirt, oil, and impurities.
2. Application of Serum:
   • Dispense 2-3 drops of the ANUA Azelaic Acid & Hyaluronic Acid Serum onto fingertips.
   • Gently apply the serum evenly over the face, focusing on areas with redness, uneven tone, or irritation.
   • Pat lightly to facilitate absorption.
3. Follow-up:
   • Allow the serum to fully absorb (~1-2 minutes).
   • Follow with your regular moisturizer to lock in hydration and enhance the soothing effects.
   • Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day to protect sensitive skin from UV damage.
4. Frequency:
   • Use once daily in the evening or as recommended by a dermatologist.
   • If your skin tolerates it well, frequency can be increased to twice daily.

Precautions & Tips

• Patch test before full application to check for sensitivity.
• Avoid using concurrently with other strong active ingredients like retinoids or acids unless advised by a skincare professional.
• Use sunscreen diligently during the day, as azelaic acid can increase photosensitivity.
• Discontinue use if irritation or excessive dryness occurs and consult a dermatologist.
