"This is 10% azelaic acid and then you're getting 5% of an azelaic acid derivative. It has 2% niacinamide, which is a nice lower level that hopefully will not irritate most people. It feels like nothing to apply and just kind of immediately vanishes into my skin. It's cosmetically elegant as an azelaic acid. The first time I used this the other day, I felt that characteristic itching, so I'm going a little bit lighter in my application today. I think that this is probably going to be a strong product for me. As a sensitive skin type, I love this azelaic acid derivative so much that many times now I've stopped using azelaic acid and just used the derivative. Remedy made sure to keep the common allergens out of this. The Anua didn't work for me, it felt too strong, and the Nineless didn't work for me either, but I am hopeful that with all the care that Dr. Sha and the Remedy team took in making this a more sensitive skin-friendly variety of an azelaic acid serum, this could be the one that my skin can finally use. When I applied it this time, I was able to put on my sunscreen, I put on my foundation, no peeling, none of the product balling up on itself. I'm super excited to keep trying this. I am completely blown away by this remedy serum. For me, I think this is incredibly exciting for sensitive skin types, something that is actually different and hopefully something that actually gives me results."

"This is my magnum opus, my Roman Empire, everything I dream and hope of. I believe this is the best formula Remedy has ever created. We worked on this for over two years. The texture is watery, silky, hydrating, not sticky or tacky—it just melts into your skin. It's a lightweight, water texture that I promise you, if you used azelaic acid in the past, you will not find a texture quite like this. It's non-tacky and breaks into the skin perfectly for anybody who doesn't want that greasy feeling. The feat we accomplished is that it's fully solubilized, which is very rare in formulas. We did this without using propylene glycol, alcohol, or surfactants, which are common allergens and can be irritating to the skin. So no common allergens, yet incredibly beautiful texture. The formula is 10% pure azelaic acid and 5% glycinated azelaic acid, bringing the total concentration to 15%. We complement it with 2% niacinamide and acetyl glucosamine for dark spots and discoloration, vitamin B12 which gives it that pink color, and beta glucan which calms and soothes the skin and helps with hydration. This is our most studied formula. The results are absolutely incredible. It becomes pH 5 on the skin once you apply it. For me, azelaic acid has become a hero. I mostly struggle with rosacea, and this has been the staple ingredient in my skincare routine over years. It is my favorite formula that we've ever created, and I truly believe you're going to love this formula."
