Ingredients

Salicylic Acid: Actively treats and prevents acne while smoothing the skin and refining pores
Azelaic Acid: Drives skin cell renewal to reduce build-up, reduces redness & inflammation
Niacinamide: Boosts hydration, brightens skin,
and helps to treat inflammation and redness from acne.
Zinc Hyaluronate: Fights skin nasties, drives deep hydration and skin repair

Why Azelaic Acid
"Because Azelaic Acid helps with cell renewal, it helps with acne and improves overall texture for a smoother, brighter complexion. Azelaic Acid is also anti-inflammatory, so it reduces redness and swelling. It’s anti-microbial, which means it helps kill acne causing bacteria, and it also helps to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, those dark spots left behind after pimples heal."

- Dr. Mamina Turagano, triple-board certified dermatologist

Apply the treatment after the cleansing step. It can be used as either a spot treatment on trouble spots, or all over the face as a toner!

We recommend using it up to twice daily, depending on your skin's tolerance. You may need to start by using it every other day at night, until your skin can handle using it every day, and then finally twice a day.
Our treatment is designed to help with acne and all the effects of acne, including hyperpigmentation! 90% of subjects saw a significant improvement in hyperpigmentation after 6 weeks in third-party clinical testing with image analysis. In addition, skin cell renewal is key to easing hyperpigmentation as well. The Azelaic Acid and Mevalonic Acid in our formulas aid in skin renewal.
It is possible that purging may occur should pores have been clogged before starting to use the treatment. In these cases, breakouts may have already been in progress.
While we formulated our entire line to be acne-safe, and have proven to be non-irritating and non-comedogenic though clinical tests by industry-leading third-party labs, everyone's skin is different. If you continue to experience new breakouts after continued use, always check with your dermatologist for personalized advice.
If you have sensitive skin and are also prone to breakouts, we've developed the treatment with you in mind! It's gentle, yet effective at clearing & preventing acne. It also contains Azelaic Acid which calms and soothes, and Zinc Hyaluronate, which is increases hydration.

Make sure you start with the treatment 1x every other day after cleansing, then can work your way up to daily based on how your skin responds.
Our products are formulated to be gentle enough to work with prescription products, however everyone's skin is different so for personalized advice, please consult your dermatologist.

Title is great!
I love this product, I don’t think it’s too harsh for my skin, however I think with how my skin has been for the past year and a half just need a stronger medication of some sort. That being said, I do like how gentle and effective this product is at stopping oncoming acne, so I will be repurchasing!
