Anua Azelaic Acid 10% Serum

Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum is a Korean serum built around 10% azelaic acid, an ingredient widely used for redness, clogged pores and rough texture. It comes in a 30 ml bottle and is also listed online as the Anua Azelaic Acid 10+ or 10% serum.

Alongside azelaic acid, the formula includes hyaluronic acid for hydration, a 7-type cica complex, green tea and aloe to soothe, plus CoQ10 and blue tansy oil. The brand describes a water-like, fast-absorbing texture that layers easily under moisturizer and sunscreen, which makes it a good fit for oily and combination skin.

After cleansing and toning, apply a small amount and gently pat it in, then follow with moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning. If you are new to azelaic acid, start a few times a week and build up. It is a milder everyday option than prescription azelaic acid, and those sensitive to essential oils should check the full ingredient list.
