What the gurus are saying

The experts found this emulsion texture makes azelaic acid accessible even for those new to the ingredient or with sensitive skin, since it feels more like a light lotion than a traditional serum and supports the skin barrier while targeting redness and uneven tone. The 10% concentration is the highest available over the counter, and the fast-absorbing formula works well layered under moisturizer morning and night. Those with drier skin may find the nourishing texture especially helpful for brightening.

"The Naturium Azelaic Acid Emulsion 10% is more of an emulsion than a serum. So it's going to feel a little bit more like a moisturizer. It still targets the redness, the breakouts, the pigment. It supports the barrier health. It's gentle enough for daily use even on the most sensitive and redness prone skin. It's therefore one of the best entry points for those new to azelaic acid. It contains azelaic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin E."

"The Naturium Azelaic Acid Emulsion 10% contains ten percent azelaic acid brightening complex along with niacinamide. These ingredients are all great for soothing but also help to brighten uneven skin tone. With the emulsion texture it's like a light lotion, so more nourishing but fast absorbing, not sticky. Really ideal for those with more dry skin who are looking for something that helps to brighten the complexion and help with improving uneven skin tone."

"This is pure azelaic acid at 10%, meaning it is the highest percentage of azelaic acid that you can get over the counter. For me, I feel like the ten percent is perfect. I use this every single day, morning and night in my skincare routine. It is so nice and light, it feels almost like a really light lotion on your skin. I use it as the last step of my serums and then I apply my moisturizer on top of it. Azelaic acid is pregnancy and breastfeeding safe, so it's great for everybody, even people with sensitive skin."
