A gentle approach to a clearer, more uniform complexion.
What it is
Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid that helps refine skin texture and promotes a balanced, even tone. In K-beauty formulations, it is often paired with soothing plant extracts to provide effective results without compromising the skin barrier.

How to use
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin during your evening routine. Start by using it two to three times per week to ensure your skin adjusts, then gradually increase frequency as tolerated.
Watch out
Do not layer with high-concentration physical exfoliants or intense retinoids if you have sensitive skin, as this may cause irritation.
