Anua Azelaic Acid 10% + Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum

Anua Azelaic Acid 10% Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum

This azelaic acid serum from Anua is built for skin that runs sensitive, breaks out easily, or turns red at the first sign of irritation. Formulated with 10% azelaic acid — an ingredient well known for calming inflammation and fading post-blemish marks — it’s balanced with hyaluronic acid and a centella asiatica (cica) complex so it hydrates instead of stripping the skin.

What It Does

• Calms redness and soothes active blemishes without the sting some azelaic acid formulas cause
• Helps control excess oil, making it a good fit for oily and acne-prone skin
• Delivers lightweight hydration that absorbs fully, with no greasy residue
• Non-comedogenic, so it won’t contribute to clogged pores

How to Use

Apply between toner and moisturizer. Start slow — 1-2 times a week with 1-2 drops — and build up to daily use as your skin adjusts. If using it in the morning, follow with SPF 30 or higher.

Key Ingredients

This azelaic acid serum is formulated with 10% azelaic acid and hyaluronic acid, alongside niacinamide, panthenol, and multiple centella asiatica (cica) extracts. Fragrance-free, with a naturally green tint that comes from the formula itself — not added color. A solid pick for anyone building a redness-focused or acne-calming K-beauty routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this azelaic acid serum with retinol?
Yes, but not at the same time. Azelaic acid and retinol can both be effective, but using them together can increase irritation for sensitive skin. Many people alternate — azelaic acid in the morning, retinol at night, or on alternating days — and build up slowly.

Is this serum safe to use during pregnancy?
Azelaic acid is generally considered one of the more pregnancy-safe active ingredients in skincare, but we always recommend checking with your doctor or dermatologist before adding any new active to your routine during pregnancy.

How long until I see results?
Most people start noticing calmer, less red skin within 2-4 weeks of consistent use. Since this serum is gentle enough for daily use once your skin adjusts, sticking with it consistently makes the biggest difference.

Can I use this if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes — it’s actually formulated with this skin type in mind. The lightweight, non-comedogenic formula helps control excess oil while calming blemishes and redness, without clogging pores.
