If you identify your skin as dry and sensitive, it is one of the best serums for acne. Formulated with cica and azelaic acid, it fights acne and soothes irritated, sensitive skin. It is also enriched with allantoin that helps refine texture and hydrates the skin, leaving it smooth and non-greasy.

How to use a azelaic acid serum?

  1. Dispense 2-3 drops of thinkDERMA 10% Azelaic Acid & Cica Face Serum using the dropper onto your face.

  2. Apply the serum evenly to your face & dab it using gentle tapping motions. Don’t forget your neck area!

  3. Follow up with a moisturizer and a SPF 50 sunscreen.

* Always patch-test your product before incorporating it into your skincare routine.

To patch test, apply the serum to the inside of your elbow and wait at least 24 hours to see its reaction on your skin. It is suitable for your skin if there is no irritation, itching, or redness.

You can incorporate azelaic acid serum into your daily morning and evening routines.

What to pair with thinkDERMA 10% Azelaic Acid & Cica Face Serum?

1. Hyaluronic acid

Consider pairing your azelaic acid serum with hyaluronic acid serum for an enhanced skincare regimen. The combination will help soothe the irritation in your skin and provide hydration and nourishment.

2. Niacinamide

Niacinamide helps fade off blemishes and dark spots, while azelaic acid serum reduces acne. Using niacinamide and azelaic acid serum together will help calm sensitivity and irritation in your skin, leaving your skin clear, smooth, and soft.

3. Vitamin C

While azelaic acid helps kill acne-causing bacteria and calms irritated skin, vitamin C helps reduce dark spots and dullness to give you a radiant glow.

4. Retinol

Retinol combats signs of aging, while azelaic acid will fight dryness and soothe irritated skin.

Note: Retinol should be used only at night and not more than 2-3 times a week.

5. Salicylic acid

You can use the combination of salicylic acid and azelaic serum to fight active acne, boost hydration, and calm redness, irritation, and inflammation.

Note: After you apply the first serum on your face, wait a few minutes to allow it to absorb completely in your skin, and then follow up with another serum.

Please note that while you can comfortably use hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C serum on your face with azelaic acid in the same skincare routine, it is best to be extra cautious while pairing azelaic acid with retinol and salicylic acid serum.
