Suitable for all skin types. For sensitive skin types, start by using this serum 2-3 times a week for the first two weeks. If tolerated, gradually increase to 1-2 times a day.
How It Looks/Smells/Feels- This 10% dual-acid serum is lightweight and fast-absorbing with a very light to no scent. It is white in color but goes on clear, leaving skin feeling refreshed and smooth
Can I use this product with Retinol and Vitamin C products?
- Yes! This formula is gentle enough to use with Retinol and Vitamin C, especially if you struggle with extra stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Should this product only be used at night?- This product can be used in the morning and/or evening if tolerated. Just make sure to apply a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day to protect your skin.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?- Yes, however, we suggest sensitive skin types start by using this serum 2-3 times a week for the first two weeks. If tolerated, they can gradually increase to 1-2 times a day. It's essential to follow up with a moisturizer, and if you use it during the daytime, make sure to apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher for sun protection.
What is the difference between this formula and the Clear Complexion Acne Serum?- Our Clear Complexion Acne Serum + Spot Treatment delivers fast-acting 5% Benzoyl Peroxide to unclog pores while shrinking whiteheads and blackheads. While it also fights future breakouts, it doesn’t target the dark spots, acne scarring or PIH caused by breakouts. Our 6% Azelaic Acid Fade + Clarify Serum tackles every phase of your breakout-prone skin from pimple to post-acne scars
What is the difference between this formula and Retinol Rapid Repair?- Our Retinol Rapid Repair & Dark Spot Treatment leverages a potent, highly effective level of Retinol to deliver our #1 best-selling serum for dark spots. However, our gentler 6% Azelaic Acid Fade + Clarify Serum tackles more than post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), including acne scarring, dark spots and redness, with minimal irritation. It’s also formulated to help clarify pores and fight future breakouts.
Do I use this as a spot treatment or all over the face?- You can apply our 6% Azelaic Acid Fade + Clarify Serum to the full face or you can use as a spot treatment on active breakouts or particularly stubborn areas for pimples and dark spots.
Are your products tested on animals?- No. We take pride in being a cruelty-free company!
If I took your Skin Quiz and this product wasn't suggested, does that mean I shouldn’t use it?- While our product recommendations are carefully selected for the needs of a specific type of skin to give the best results, many people will modify their routine with other products as needed. If you feel this product could be right for you, we encourage you to try it!
