Azelaic & Kojic Advanced Clarifying Serum.

"This is probably best for people whose hyperpigmentation is triggered by breakouts, adult or teenage acne, and they want to get on top of those breakouts and fade any associated hyperpigmentation, scarring, or discoloration. This probably works the very best for me because my hyperpigmentation is triggered by my adult acne. It contains kojic acid, which really helps drive forward hyperpigmentation results, but it also contains azelaic acid which calms, soothes, and has acne fighting benefits too. This also has a potent blend of other brightening ingredients which they list all the percentages and ingredients on the front. Whilst this doesn't come with the cheapest price tag out there, this could be an absolute holy grail if you're somebody who's still breakout prone, sees that hyperpigmentation as a result of that acne and wants to get on top of it and fade any scarring. I do find a little goes a long way. I actually use this twice a day because it's so amazing, and one of these will last me two months. This is one of my personal favorites and great for people that are looking for a more even skin tone and also to combat any breakouts and skin congestion that they might have."

"This is a dream product. You can go in straight away using it twice a day. You don't need to build up to it because it's that gentle, but it really does pack a punch. It's got azelaic acid in derivative form, but it's also got kojic acid, which has been a fabulous over-the-counter pigment corrector. This doubles down on the benefits you're going to see. If you're somebody that wants super gentle but you also want extra hyperpigmentation and dark spot fighting from your serum, this is the one to go for. It's not the cheapest, but this is almost like a skincare routine in a bottle. When you see it as almost like a three or four in one, it's definitely worth the splurge. This is like azelaic acid derivative taken up like 20 notches to give you the very best outcomes whilst also keeping it super gentle. One of my all-time personal favorites and I don't think you can go wrong with this, especially if you're just starting out on your azelaic acid journey."

"This is hands down the best azelaic acid pairing to use alongside retinoids because the formula is going to help to minimize the risk of purging, breakouts, and sensitivity. A lot of people in the early stages of their retinoid experience something called purging where you get a lot of under the skin breakouts that then can turn into white heads, and that can put a lot of people off. Using something like this can really minimize that, reduce the heal time of any breakouts that you do get. And honestly, this is a little game changer when it comes to brightening the skin. I think this is the best azelaic acid to pair with your retinoid, but it might not be for everyone's budget."

"Within just a couple of weeks you'll start to see a more even skin tone minimizing the hyperpigmentation, it'll help control your acne and breakouts, and this for me is ding ding ding 10 out of 10 all the way."

"I'm someone who's 40 and also acne prone, and I think this is the first product I've ever used that I can genuinely say is specifically formulated for adult acne. You've got your azelaic acid, which minimizes acne causing bacteria, so it's just going to help everything in check. You've also got kojic acid, which is going to help lift any hyperpigmentation, dark spots, acne scarring. I feel as we age, it takes a lot longer for our blemishes to fade than maybe when we're in our teens. Don't let the hyperpigmentation hang around. This will treat it. You've also got so many other ingredients in here such as licorice root, which is great brightening agent that is really going to help suppress any breakouts. It's going to decongest the pores, but most importantly, it's going to help fade those acne marks and scars so much quicker. So if you're someone that's like me, in your 40s, in your 50s, whatever age, and still getting those persistent breakouts, there is one product out there that's genuinely designed for us. Not the cheapest product out there, but such a good product."

"If you have adult acne damaging your skin confidence, buy this. This formula will erase any hyperpigmentation from acne, dark spots, and blemish marks that take forever to fade, but also it actually stops those breakouts. This has probably been the most effective product I have ever used for suppressing adult acne breakouts. I get far fewer breakouts now. It's been super warm here and this is normally where I break out all over my forehead but I've had maybe three or four zits this year thanks to this. Previous years I would be on my hundredth zit by now. Genuinely, if you have adult acne, this is worth every last penny. And I say that as someone who is super cheap and would never buy a product if it didn't work as well as it did."

"This is the best option if your hyperpigmentation is caused by breakouts and acne, which mine honestly a lot of is, because it not only tackles the hyperpigmentation, dark spots and discoloration, fading them in some of the quickest time I've ever seen, but it also tackles the root cause by reducing the acne and breakouts in the first place. It's an absolute holy grail. It has azelaic acid, which is great if you have acne prone skin, and kojic acid, one of the best over the counter hyperpigmentation ingredients, plus plant based brightening agents like licorice root, one of the best brightening ingredients you can use. They also list all the ingredients and percentages so you know what you are putting on your skin. It is a high strength azelaic acid packed full of kojic acid with a great blend of other natural brightening ingredients. I'd say it is worth the splurge if you have breakout prone skin and your hyperpigmentation is primarily driven by breakouts and acne."
