Review: 8% azelaic acid - great introduction for beginners active for acne sufferers. - Everyone on tiktok is talking about the anua 10% and azelaic acid and how amazing it is. The anua is more than double the price and I have very sensitive skin and have never really used any actives in any sort of serious manner Azelaic acid is apparently most effective at 10% with daily consistent use. After a lot of searching I found that the Q+A is around 7-8% Which is why I chose it, to see how my skin reacted. First bottle I started low and slow. A small drop onto dried skin (after cleansing and essence) spread across my face, it needs to be applied to the entire face and not just spot treatment. I did this twice a week for a week, before moving up to every other night for a week. Then eventually mornings twice a week + nights every other day Until I was up to every day morning and night This did cause purging. How do I know it was purging? Cus it was small white heads which I don't usually suffer with, but in the areas I do usually break out After about 6-8 weeks it did calm. I am on my second bottle now, and with daily use, twice a day, two generous pumps, I reckon it lasts a month. Two pumps does the entire face and neck. I will be switching to a stronger 10% when this bottle runs out, I just introduced vitamin c serum into my routine and didn't want to change the AA to make sure I knew if I reacted to the new introduction. My skin is definitely feeling more under control, I had the most horrendous hormonal acne which I've been suffering with for maybe 2 years. At this concentration I don't think it's enough to actually really target and benefit from AA. But it is a way to introduce your skin to actives and glad I did as it's got a great price point. I feel like AA isn't great for fading scars etc as the skinfluencers claim, or hyperpigmentation, but it DOES help. And my skin definitely feels calmer. I have been researching and it appears that to target the acne scars I have I should combine AA with niacinamide I have also just started using the AA with benzol peroxide gel and it's really helped with some closed comedones and (I think a purge) from vit c. This brand of AA is great to get your skin used to AA as well as a base to get you started with a skin care journey and get other actives into your routine. Highly recommend for the price point, gentle concentration. Sits well under makeup and doesn't pill *Tip* the first time I used this, I must have got it too close to the sensitive area at the corner of my mouth cus I had a stinging burn for a few days after. lesson learnt, apply a layer of vaseline to lips before applying. I don't actually always remember to now, but I haven't had the irratation around my lips since. Think I've been using for 3 months now. Even if I hadn't added vit c, I probably would have stuck to a second bottle of this to ensure my skin was happy before increasing to a 10% May well decide to get a third before upping if I decide to add niacinamide for scaring.
Review: Zit? What Zit? - Let me set the scene. I woke up one morning to find a massive zit smack in the middle of my cheek. You know the type, bright red, impossible to ignore, and practically waving at everyone I walked past. As a man with a face that produces enough oil to power a small lamp, I needed help fast. Enter this little bottle of brilliance. I applied the serum, not expecting much. Azelaic Acid? Zinc PCA? Super Grains Extracts? Sounded more like a trendy salad than a skincare saviour, but I was desperate. Within days, this stuff had dried out the offending spot, shrivelling it up and sending it packing. My skin looked calmer, smoother, and dare I say it, less shiny. This serum is a dream for us oily-faced folk. It is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and does not leave a greasy residue, which is a blessing when your skin already glistens like you have been running a marathon. It even made my pores look smaller, like they had finally learned some manners. The fact that it is cruelty free, vegan, and packed with natural ingredients is the cherry on top. I feel good about slathering it on my face and even better when I see the results. So, if you are dealing with breakouts or just want to keep your oily skin in check, give this a try. This zit busting miracle has become my go-to, and I am not letting it out of my bathroom cabinet anytime soon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by A***H on 12 August 2025*

Nice texture, no odd face feel! I have only been using for a few weeks but I believe it does work well in combination with the other products I’ve been using. Does not have a sticky feel or weird smell and the bottle makes for easy application.
