How it works
The Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum is a 30ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Azelaic Acid, named second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Niacinamide, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Azelaic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum Anua sells in Korea, Azelaic Acid and all.

Key actives
Azelaic Acidactive
Azelaic Acid is a grain-derived acid used for the look of redness and uneven tone. The name on the box points at it, and it is named second on this serum's own ingredient list.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. It is named thirteenth on this serum's list, alongside Azelaic Acid.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. The panel names it fourteenth on this serum's list, beside Azelaic Acid.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is named nineteenth on this serum's list, alongside Azelaic Acid.
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. The panel names it twenty-fifth on this serum's list, beside Azelaic Acid.

Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Azelaic Acid and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market serum or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Azelaic Acid and all. We match this serum to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Azelaic Acid?
Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Niacinamide. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Azelaic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Madecassoside, Asiaticoside and Asiatic Acid.

How to use
- Use the Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening.
- Three or four drops covers the whole face. Press it in with flat palms instead of rubbing it around.
- Toner first so the surface is damp, then this, then about a minute before your moisturizer goes over the top.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not stack it with a second serum of the same kind; two hydrating serums in one routine do the work of one.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this serum on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Azelaic Acid on the list.
- Introduce this serum on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Azelaic Acid rather than to three changes at once.
