It has 15% azelaic acid, niacinamide and centella extract, so on paper it seems like a great product for fighting acne and hyperpigmentation. The texture is creamy gel which absorbs very quickly after applying and leaves a matte finish. As far as my acne and pimples go, it did not seem to cause any new ones.
I used it for the full six months waiting for results, and did not experience anything significant. It did sting, itch, burn and cause redness and dryness after applying, but did not help get rid of my acne and pimples faster, nor did it help with my hyperpigmentation. I even tested it on two pimples that appeared at the same time (both on my cheek), no difference on the healing time and PIH fading between the one I applied this cream to compared to one that wasn't treted with it. Althought it did not make my acne and pimples worse, it did dry out my skin and made me feel itchy after applying it, so overall it did make my skin worse. I do not plan to repurchase it, especially since it is hard to find and a bit pricey, but I do not plan to give up on azelaic acid, so I bought Revox 10% Azelaic acid cream to try out next.
