NaturiumAzelaic Acid Emulsion 10% Plus Bioactive Complex & Niacinamide, Anti-Aging Skin Care, 1 oz

I love Naturium and this is one of my absolute favorites. Helps a lot with general redness. I also use Dr. Sam’s moisturizer, which also has the acid in it, and it’s really helped me redness calm. Definitely worth trying over pricier brands, it works so well.

If you end up with perioral or periorbital dermatitis, you'll find out that it's considered difficult to treat and can takes months to resolve. Derms often prescribe an antibiotic or antifungal. One other option derms will sometime prescribe is azelaic acid. I decided to try this in OTC strength since there was a wait to get a derm appt. I used this lotion 3-4x/day on my dermatitis and 2/x all over my face, and within days, I could see some improvement in the dermatitis. It still took a while to completely go away (3-4 weeks), but it finally resolved, and I felt there was some improvement in my rosacea & skin tone as well, so now this product is part of my routine.I also gave some to my mom & daughter, and both have asked for more. I've bought many bottles at this point for myself and various family members.This also can cause some flushing/tingling/burning, especially on the neck (which in many people is extra sensitive) or even on facial skin, especially if the skin barrier is damaged. When I use it on my neck, I dilute it with extra moisturizer.Some other notes: This product has EWG friendly ingredients which I consider a plus. The bottle is a little annoying because you can't see when you're running low, so I always make sure to have my next bottle on hand.

Really liked this product and felt it did reduce redness after continued use on my face. However, it didn’t last long. I wish there was more product in the bottle (and you can’t tell when the product is running low due to the bottle design). I haven’t reordered yet as I contemplate if the value is worth it.

Brightens discoloration, Smooths texture, and give your skin a great glow! I’m a licensed esthetician and I’ve tried a lot of the azeliac products out there but this one is a standout. I’ve recommended this to a few of my clients and they all have loved the results.The texture is fantastic, and layers well in a routine with multiple actives and products. I typically use ~4 pumps for my face and neck. You work it into the skin then in seconds it like melts and glides into a nice moisturizing feel. Though it has this moisturizing factor I would still suggest using a moisturizer with it to limit any potential irritation- if you like Naturium their Peptide moisturizer pairs fantastically. Definitely use after your serum(s) but can work under or even over your moisturizer if that works for you at night, under your sunscreen obviously during the day.If you’re on tret and are looking for a nice azeliac to enhance your results this is a great option to test that out with. For tret users I suggest using this over your tret and under moisturizer.This little air pump packaging is cute and nice but it’s hard to tell how much product you have left. Naturium if you’re listening I honestly would pay for a larger size! I would repurchase this from Amazon.

I bought this product after a youtube derm laid into this company's products. This was the only product she said she did consistently use, and could recommend. The derm did say that they use a 15% for rosacea and was unsure of how effective the 10% formula would be. For me, this has been a life saver. My rosacea flares up in heat and humidity, so living in the south this is a real problem. The flares are often pustules and red flaky skin that lasts for a week. I have used this product for 3 weeks, and the one potential flare was lessened greatly since using this product. I like that is has no fragrance, cruelty free, a pump dispenser, very budget friendly, and has not irritated my skin. I did not even have the usual hormonal breakout this month and I attribute that to this product. I also use Naturium's vitamin c and that product has the same pros, but I am unsure of the efficacy. I will continue using this product as my skin has cleared, and I am hoping to see lightening of my dark spots with continued use.**Edit 2022**Used the whole bottle. I found my skin did best when used every other night. Melasma spots dramatically faded and my rosacea calmed. I ran out and it was out of stock, so I ordered the Azelaic Acid Serum from Naturium, thinking it would yield similar results. The product was okay, did not like the dropper applicator, and my skin did not tolerate that formulation, it caused breakouts and irritation. So back to the emulsion I went and again my skin is happy. Sticking with this formula.

I was very skeptical about using an “acid” on my dry, sensitive, rosacea-prone skin. I was afraid it would irritate. But after a recent outbreak of rosacea, I did a lot of research and decided to try Azelaic Acid. I picked this brand because it also contains niacinamide, which calms irritated skin. I washed my face with a gentle cleanser the first night, then added this product and waited 30 minutes before applying moisturizer because I’ve read it’s not effective to let azaleic acid sink in before using moisturizer. When I woke up, I could feel that my rosacea had improved. The next night I did the same routine and now my rosacea is about 80% cleared! I am AMAZED!!I do find it drying, so moisturizer is a must. My skin feels incredibly smooth and, as I said, the rosacea is almost gone. I cannot believe how well this has worked and I will be using this product for as long as they make it!!!

Not sure if I got a bad batch, but the product is super grainy. Felt like an exfoliator and kind of hurt. It also had a hint of Elmer’s glue smell to it. Is this normal ?!
