That makes it the tea-tree-free alternative to Purito Azelaic Acid 10 + Kojic + Tea Tree Serum. What it doesAzelaic acid is the main active and the reason to choose this ampoule: at 10%, it is there for the look of blemishes, redness and the marks breakouts leave behind, and for smoother-looking texture. SKIN1004 add two azelaic acid derivatives, which they position for oil balance. Centella, panthenol, allantoin, beta-glucan and sodium hyaluronate keep skin hydrated and calm around the active. Key ingredientsAzelaic acid (10%): clearer-looking pores, smoother texture, a more even tonePotassium azeloyl diglycinate (1%) and azelamide MEA (0.5%): azelaic acid derivatives that support oil balanceCentella asiatica extract, allantoin and panthenol: comfortSodium hyaluronate and beta-glucan: hydrationBest forBlemish-prone and congested skinThe look of redness around blemishesMarks left behind after breakouts and uneven toneOily or combination skinNot ideal ifYou already use another azelaic acid serum: choose one, do not layer twoYour barrier is sore or peeling: calm it first, then introduce this slowlyWhere it goes in your routineAfter cleansing and toner, before moisturiser, morning or evening. SKIN1004 suggest an adjustment week: a pea-sized amount on the areas you want to target, every other day. Once your skin has adjusted, build up to 2 to 3 drops over the face, then finish with moisturiser. Wear sunscreen every morning. Pro tip: Follow it with SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Cream from the same line, and choose one azelaic serum, not two. What to expectIt can tingle at first; use it less often if that lingers. Blemishes, marks and texture change gradually with steady use and daily sunscreen. Quick facts: 30 ml · Azelaic acid 10% · No fragrance listed · Introduce slowly · AM or PM · SKIN1004, made in Korea
