A dual-action treatment serum that addresses acne and hyperpigmentation at the same time. Formulated with 10% azelaic acid, one of the few dermatology-endorsed actives that tackles both concerns simultaneously, alongside 5% niacinamide to strengthen the skin barrier and visibly refine your complexion.

What This Does

• Visibly fades dark spots and post-acne marks, giving skin a progressively clearer and more even tone.
• Targets active breakouts and congestion at the source, reducing frequency and severity over time.
• Calms visible redness and inflammation without stripping or destabilising the skin barrier.
• Minimises the appearance of enlarged pores and improves overall skin texture.
• Reinforces barrier function through niacinamide, so skin becomes more resilient and less reactive with consistent use.

• Start with a thorough cleanse, then apply a hydrating toner to prepare the skin.
• Smooth a thin layer across the face on dry skin, preferably as your evening treatment step.
• Follow with moisturiser. In the morning, always finish your routine with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Actives

• 10% Azelaic Acid: Clinically validated to reduce acne-causing bacteria, inhibit excess melanin production for hyperpigmentation control, and gently normalise skin cell turnover.
• 5% Niacinamide: strengthens the skin barrier, reduces visible redness, and improves overall texture and tone.
• Licorice Root Extract: a botanical brightener that reduces discolouration and supports a more even complexion.
• Purslane Extract: an antioxidant-rich botanical that protects stressed skin from environmental damage.

How is this different from other acne treatments?

Most acne treatments target only one issue: bacteria or post-acne marks. This azelaic acid serum addresses both in one formula. At 10%, it eliminates acne-causing bacteria, reduces active inflammation, and inhibits the melanin overproduction that causes dark spots after a breakout clears. The 5% niacinamide further targets barrier strength and pore appearance.

Can azelaic acid cause irritation?

Azelaic acid is one of the best-tolerated prescription-grade actives in dermatology. It's less irritating than retinoids and stronger AHAs. Some users experience mild tingling in the first week, which typically subsides. We recommend patch testing before the full application.

Is this suitable for oily and acne-prone skin?

Yes. The lightweight, oil-free formula manages congestion without adding heaviness, and the azelaic acid works directly on the bacteria and pore blockages that drive oily skin breakouts.

What does the 15ml travel size offer?

It allows you to test this product for four to six weeks of consistent daily use, which is enough to observe measurable changes in your skin and begin to see real results before investing in the full-size product.
