Azelaic Acid Serum
Redness, breakouts and dark marks tend to arrive together, and the products aimed at them are usually the ones that make redness worse. That is the trap most people with sensitive, blemish-prone skin end up in.
Azelaic Acid Serum is the way out of it. At 5%, azelaic acid works on blemishes, uneven tone, the look of pores and visible redness at the same time, and it does it without the sting of stronger acids. Most people see clearer, more even skin within four weeks. It is one of the few actives that suits skin which is both reactive and breaking out.
Liquorice root extract and a soothing tripeptide calm the skin further, while squalane, glycerin and betaine keep it comfortable enough for twice-daily use.
The gel-cream texture is lightweight and sits under makeup once dry. Use it morning and evening.
Suitable for sensitive skin, with no ingredients that are advised against during pregnancy, which is why it is often the first choice when retinoids are off the table.
97.5% natural ingredients.
Benefits
Works on blemishes, redness and dark marks at the same time.
17% fewer blemishes in four weeks, at less than half the dose we use.
7.7% less redness and 26.7% better hydration over eight weeks, measured against placebo.
Evens out tone and refines the look of pores.
Lightweight, non-greasy and sits under makeup.
Suitable for sensitive skin. Contains no ingredients that are advised against during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If in doubt, ask your doctor or midwife.

HOW

Materials and recycling
Packaging is the part of the product you throw away. That is why we spend time on it.
At least 50% of the plastic in our bottles and tubes is post-consumer recycled: plastic that has already been used and collected, rather than newly made. The rest is virgin plastic, and we work to bring that share down.
Not everything is plastic. Some products come in glass, others in aluminium that is itself recycled material. Both can be melted down and used again many times over.
Our outer cartons are paper.
How to sort it
Plastic bottles, tubes, pumps and caps: plastic. They do not need to be clean.
Glass bottles: glass.
Aluminium tubes: metal.
The carton: paper.
We are not there yet. Half of our plastic is still virgin, and that is the half we are working on.

Why it works
Most acids force a choice. Treat the breakouts and accept the redness, or protect the barrier and accept the breakouts. Azelaic acid is unusual because it does both jobs at once.
It clears the pore, interrupts the pigment that leaves dark marks after a blemish heals, and calms visible redness, all at a pH the skin is comfortable with. That is why it can be used morning and evening from day one, with no adjustment period, and why it works for skin that reacts badly to everything stronger.

Haven't been able to use much because skin is irritated but the few times i used it seems ok, take about 7 days break in-between uses
I don’t use it daily, but it’s already made a big difference. Very impressed!
It really helps reduce the redness on my cheeks while staying gentle on my skin. I also love that it layers perfectly under makeup. I couldn’t be happier!
I use it under my night cream. Percfect texture, it lasts a while and it keeps my skin even and looking great.
An acid found in grains such as barley and wheat. It works on the look of blemishes, uneven tone and visible redness at the same time, clearing the pore while exfoliating gently enough to fade the appearance of dark marks. In a 28-day clinical study on the ingredient complex, blemish lesions were reduced by 17%, at less than half the dose we use.
Short chains of amino acids that ask the skin to do more of what it already does. They stimulate collagen and the other components that hold the structure together, which improves firmness, elasticity and texture, and makes fine lines look shallower.
Tripeptides also calm irritation. In a lash serum they promote keratin production in the follicle, which is what a stronger, longer lash depends on.
From the root of the liquorice plant. It has anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties, and it calms irritation and redness, which makes it suitable for sensitive or blemish-prone skin.
