"I won't be using the Anua azelaic acid serum and I won't be shopping with Anua at all, because I think there are deeper issues with the brand rather than just this azelaic acid serum. They used a [...] salt form of azelaic acid at a much higher pH than traditional azelaic acid, and [...] they hid that reformulation until a cosmetic formulator called them out on it, which tells me they didn't actually believe it was a superior product."

THE SCANDAL ENGULFING KOREAN SKINCARE - Has Anua Caused The Downfall Of K-Skincare

"The salt form has no data behind it and there are real question marks over whether it will ever perform the way the original form of acid did, making it far less bioavailable and less effective than the original formulation, even though it's still technically 10% azelaic acid. Anua should have done better here. If they wanted to make the switch they should have advertised it, or honestly just left the product alone. It's a firm pass."

"This is the serum I was talking about when I said I was quitting azelaic acid. I put kind of a lot of it on one night, went to bed, and the next morning I woke up with one of the worst reactions I've ever had. That said, I don't think Anua is lying about this being a 10% azelaic acid, I truly do think it's a 10% azelaic acid in a new format, it was just anecdotally too much for my skin."
