I was sent this for free as part of a Yesstyle × Anua Campaign! Couldn't have been happier to try this serum along with the famous red Niacinamide + TXA Serum
This serum is rich in calming ingredients including azelaic acid, panthenol, aloe juice, and centella extract. Niacinamide helps fade hyperpigmentation, while hyaluronic acid delivers hydration. The green color is really attractive and its texture is very watery and runny. No scent to speak of.
I had heard azelaic acid can be drying on @natalieoneilllll on IG so she recommends not using it every day and not in combination with retinol to prevent irritation. So far this has worked well for me and I have rarely used them together just in case.
It pairs well with my products containing peptides, niacinamide and ceramides! No irritations at all and I can see how this serum calms my redness! It doesn't treat it but visibly helps in reducing the redness. If I don't use this product my skin stays as usual.
I was a little apprehensive when I received the products from anua because I wasn't expecting much from all the hype and paid influencer reviews but this serum is honestly good
