"With a 10 being a perfect score this one a 10 I can't really think of any issues with it"

"10% strength with azelaic acid, the consistency is the key part. Use it regularly, that's where you're going to get the results. It's not always about the strength. I think I'd rather people go for a lower strength and use it twice a day every day than go for a high strength and use it a couple of times a week when they remember. That consistency is the key part. This I love again, calming, soothing, and really really helps to just, I think you get a lot more performance than you would traditionally expect for an 8% because of that quality formulation here, and it's super affordable which I absolutely love."

My MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE - Guaranteed To Boost Skin Collagen
"Azelaic acid is great because it calms and soothes the skin, it also helps hyperpigmentation and it's great at fighting acne. So if like me you're still acne prone into your late 30s and I'm coming on for 40 soon and I still get breakouts, azelaic acid is great because it actually minimizes the amount of acne causing bacteria on the skin. It feels great, I can already feel the radiance, I can feel the luminosity back. The skin feels plump and juicy. I really really really love that product. It's got the right concentration of azelaic acid that means it'll kind of work for everyone, and it's like seven pounds, eight pounds, so cheap."
NEXT LEVEL RETINOL - Maximum Anti-Aging (2X The Results)
"For beginners this is the Q+A Azelaic Acid Balancing Serum and this has a great lower dose azelaic acid still great results but just really easy to slot in for the first time. It's also like eight pounds so affordable it really works well and it's got some beautiful ingredients alongside the azelaic acid to further enhance that calming and soothing. I use all the time I would say for anyone that's new to azelaic acid get this try it skin will love it."
