The Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum is a lightweight, watery K-beauty serum formulated with 10% azelaic acid and three types of hyaluronic acid to visibly calm and hydrate reactive, blemish-prone skin. Its signature soft-green colour comes naturally from the brand's own Gentle Calming Complex, a blend of blue tansy oil, ubiquinone, green tea leaf water, aloe leaf juice, and seven types of cica (centella asiatica). Free from artificial fragrance, denatured alcohol, parabens, oils, silicones, and sulphates, this clinically tested, non-comedogenic formula suits even the most sensitive skin types.

Suitable For
All skin types, with particular benefit for sensitive, oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin. Also suitable for dry skin when followed with a good moisturiser.
How to Use
- Apply after cleansing and toning, before moisturiser.
- Dispense 1 - 2 drops onto fingertips and press gently across the face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas.
- If new to azelaic acid, begin with 1 or 2 uses per week and increase gradually to twice daily as your skin adjusts.
- Follow with moisturiser. During the day, finish with SPF 30 or higher.
- Up to 5 drops may be used per application once your skin has acclimatised.
Please note: A fine white residue on the bottle or skin may appear with regular use due to the high concentration of azelaic acid. This is normal. Skin dryness may occur; keep skin well moisturised.
