Anua Azelaic Acid 15% + Cica Intense Calming Serum.

⭐ Main Active Ingredients 1. Azelaic Acid 15% The star ingredient of this product. What does it do? • Reduces acne and pimple formation • Soothes redness (including rosacea tendencies) • Helps lighten blemishes and acne scars • Evens skin tone • Helps reduce the appearance of pores Who is it ideal for? • Acne-prone skin • Sensitive skin prone to redness • Those with blemishes ➡️ 15% concentration is effective but strong, so it's necessary to introduce it gradually to sensitive skin. 2.

Barrier Support Agents: • Panthenol (Vitamin B5) • Allantoin ➡️ Reduces sensitivity, accelerates healing. 🚫 Potential Sensitivity Points (General information, I can't speak definitively without seeing INCI) • Alcohol (high levels can be drying) • Essential oil/perfume → Anua is generally unscented, which is a big plus ✅ 🧴 Skin Type Indications ✔️ Suitable for: • Oily & combination skin • Acne-prone skin • Those with redness problems ⚠️ Use with caution: • Very dry skin • Very sensitive / skin with a weak barrier ➡️ It's safest to start with 2-3 nights a week and gradually increase. 🕒 Usage Tips (Important) • Preferably used in the evening • Apply 2-3 drops to clean, dry skin • Always apply moisturizer afterwards • SPF is a must during the day ☀️ • In the same routine: ❌ Retinol ❌ AHA/BHA ❌ Vitamin C (especially L-AA)
