What it is & what it does
This is a serum containing 10% azelaic acid, a well-known active ingredient for acne, uneven skin tone and pigmentation.

According to the manufacturer, it also contains niacinamide, extracts of Centella Asiatica, snail secretion filtrate, and other soothing/hydrating ingredients.

The claimed benefits:
Helps reduce breakouts, acne, blackheads and clogged pores — azelaic acid works against acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and helps cell turnover.

Fades dark spots, hyperpigmentation, post-acne marks, uneven skin tone — azelaic acid inhibits melanin production, which can brighten skin and even out tone over time.

Reduces redness & calms irritation, helpful for inflamed or sensitive skin.

Improves skin texture and overall smoothness.

It’s described as lightweight and non-greasy, making it suitable for oily, acne-prone, combination, or even sensitive skin — though “sensitive” skin may react, so caution is advised.

How to use it
After cleansing (and optionally toning), apply 2–3 drops to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

You can begin with once daily (often at night) to let your skin adjust — many users then increase to twice daily if tolerated.

Because azelaic acid can increase skin’s sensitivity to the sun, always use sunscreen during the day when using this serum.

Avoid combining with other strong exfoliants (strong AHAs/BHAs, retinol) — too many actives at once can irritate skin.

Things to watch out for / Possible drawbacks
Because azelaic acid is an “active” ingredient, you might experience mild dryness, peeling, tingling, redness or irritation, especially in the first few weeks as your skin adjusts.

If you have very sensitive skin, or are using multiple other actives (like retinol, strong exfoliants), the serum might be too aggressive — consider patch-testing first or starting gradually.

Consistency matters: results (clearer skin, fade of dark spots, smoother texture) tend to appear after several weeks to a few months of regular use. This is typical for azelaic acid treatments.
