"I really do like azelaic acid as a very gentle treatment for my acne, it has antibacterial properties, anti-inflammatory properties, and it may even be helpful for hormonal acne. But the catch is the research is conducted at 15 to 20 percent and this is only 10 percent, and you often don't see results after just one bottle, it took me a while to get on board with azelaic acid in general. As for this particular serum, I don't know if I would recommend it. Looking at the ingredients and feeling the texture, it was a lot runnier than I thought it would be. I can see why it has mixed feedback, some people love it, others said it didn't work as well as the one from COSRX, but I can only know if I try it for myself."
