Geek & Gorgeous - aPAD - Soothing Azelaic acid Serum, against redness, for all skin types and also for sensitive skin, 1 oz

Azelaic Acid is a 3-in-1 clinically proven active that helps reduce blemishes, pigmentation and redness. This formula uses a new-generation water-soluble form called Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD) that has similar properties to Azelaic acid but enables a super-light, oil-free texture. The two strong points of PAD are to even the skin tone and to control excessive oiliness. In our formula we are using 20% Azeclair, a solution containing 6% pure Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD). While 6% might not sound like a high number, when it comes to PAD, it is an outstanding amount. The molecule is effective already and typically used at 1-3%. Studies done by the ingredient’s manufacturer show that 3% PAD (or 10% Azeclair) is an effective amount in normalizing oil production and evening the skin tone, while a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment used 5% PAD for the management of rosacea. Apply a few drops of aPAD to your clean face, avoiding the eye area. Follow with emulsion or cream. Suitable for AM and/or PM use. Always wear SPF during the day. For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Keep out of reach of children. Safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult a doctor if unsure.
