Editor's Take
10% Azelaic Acid in a lipid-rich emulsion with Centella vesicles doing the soothing work , a thoughtful build that earns its efficacy score.

The Verdict
This is a strong, active-led treatment that delivers therapeutic-level Azelaic Acid in a modern emulsion base designed to mitigate irritation. The inclusion of Centella Asiatica vesicles and a lipid base (Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil) elevates this beyond standard aqueous acid serums. The formula is silicone-free and largely bio-based, though mid-list synthetic polymers keep it from full COSMOS alignment. Worth it for anyone seeking a brightening treatment that doesn't strip the skin bare.
