The Inkey List Azelaic Acid 10% Serum 30ml | Supersolutions | Targets Redness | Fragrance-free | Suitable For All Skin Types

Product Information

Now, both Paula’s Choice and The Ordinary have the two most popular Azelaic Acid products out there and they don’t really have much competition when it comes to this particular ingredient. At the heart of both serums is a blend of powerful acids. The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution features Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Tartaric Acid, and Citric Acid (all Alpha Hydroxy Acids), as well as Salicylic Acid (a Beta Hydroxy Acid). Although azelaic acid doesn’t make you more sensitive to the sun like other acids, Zeichner still recommended wearing sunscreen when incorporating the ingredient in your routine. "If you are using azelaic acid, you definitely should be religious about applying sunscreen — even low levels of UV light can promote pigmentation and undo what you have treated," he says. HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE REDNESS RELIEF SOLUTION WITH 10% AZELAIC ACID?You can use this up to twice daily if desired. We recommend keeping consistent with your desired usage. Always patch test before introducing new ingredients into your skincare routine products. Learn more about patch testing here.

A serum that markets itself as a redness relief/reducing and skin calming serum. It targets, unsurprisingly, skin redness and irritation. Both formulas also contain other beneficial ingredients beyond just Glycolic Acid, which makes for a more interesting comparison (albeit much less straightforward). The Inkey List's additionally includes 5% Witch Hazel, famed for its ability to minimize excess oil, whereas The Ordinary's contains a trio of soothing anti-inflammatories: Aloe, Ginseng, and Tasmannia Lanceolata extracts.

Instantly soothes and calms skin that feels irritated. I personally saw better results from the FaceTheory serum. Everyone’s skin reacts differently to different products. You may see excellent results from this and nothing from the FaceTheory. I feel The Inkey List really do make some excellent products, so it’s always worth giving this a try if you concerns are redness, texture issues or mild breakouts. I wouldn’t not recommend it, but I think personally I’d suggest the FaceTheory serum over this one. Brands Product Description

In terms of redness reducing, I have to be honest when I say the Lumizela serum by FaceTheory did a better job for me. Whilst The Inkey List Super Solutions 10% Azelaic Acid Serum did reduce my redness a little bit, it wasn’t a patch on the results I saw from the FaceTheory serum, which were pretty remarkable. It’s still a nice serum for its exfoliating properties, but for treating redness, I personally would opt for the FaceTheory serum. Both serums also contain Hyaluronic Acid for its plumping properties (which further helps to minimize fine lines and wrinkles).
