Review: 8% azelaic acid - great introduction for beginners active for acne sufferers. - Everyone on tiktok is talking about the anua 10% and azelaic acid and how amazing it is. The anua is more than double the price and I have very sensitive skin and have never really used any actives in any sort of serious manner Azelaic acid is apparently most effective at 10% with daily consistent use. After a lot of searching I found that the Q+A is around 7-8% Which is why I chose it, to see how my skin reacted. First bottle I started low and slow. A small drop onto dried skin (after cleansing and essence) spread across my face, it needs to be applied to the entire face and not just spot treatment. I did this twice a week for a week, before moving up to every other night for a week. Then eventually mornings twice a week + nights every other day Until I was up to every day morning and night This did cause purging. How do I know it was purging? Cus it was small white heads which I don't usually suffer with, but in the areas I do usually break out After about 6-8 weeks it did calm. I am on my second bottle now, and with daily use, twice a day, two generous pumps, I reckon it lasts a month. Two pumps does the entire face and neck. I will be switching to a stronger 10% when this bottle runs out, I just introduced vitamin c serum into my routine and didn't want to change the AA to make sure I knew if I reacted to the new introduction. My skin is definitely feeling more under control, I had the most horrendous hormonal acne which I've been suffering with for maybe 2 years. At this concentration I don't think it's enough to actually really target and benefit from AA. But it is a way to introduce your skin to actives and glad I did as it's got a great price point. I feel like AA isn't great for fading scars etc as the skinfluencers claim, or hyperpigmentation, but it DOES help. And my skin definitely feels calmer. I have been researching and it appears that to target the acne scars I have I should combine AA with niacinamide I have also just started using the AA with benzol peroxide gel and it's really helped with some closed comedones and (I think a purge) from vit c. This brand of AA is great to get your skin used to AA as well as a base to get you started with a skin care journey and get other actives into your routine. Highly recommend for the price point, gentle concentration. Sits well under makeup and doesn't pill *Tip* the first time I used this, I must have got it too close to the sensitive area at the corner of my mouth cus I had a stinging burn for a few days after. lesson learnt, apply a layer of vaseline to lips before applying. I don't actually always remember to now, but I haven't had the irratation around my lips since. Think I've been using for 3 months now. Even if I hadn't added vit c, I probably would have stuck to a second bottle of this to ensure my skin was happy before increasing to a 10% May well decide to get a third before upping if I decide to add niacinamide for scaring.
Review: Acne today, gone tomorrow (literally) - Okay so, I've had this for a few months and use it on and off when I'm having a breakout. My skin is much clearer, breakouts don't leave much hyperpigmentation and the hyperpigmentation I do have is fading slightly. I will say, use sparingly and one pump is enough as it csn cause irritation in the first few weeks, stick with it, its worth it. I finally feel like I have a decent regime for my skin that works. I'll definitely be buying this again future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by A***H on 12 August 2025*

Nice texture, no odd face feel! I have only been using for a few weeks but I believe it does work well in combination with the other products I’ve been using. Does not have a sticky feel or weird smell and the bottle makes for easy application.
