For which skin types?
Azelaic acid serum is suitable for skin that regularly has blackheads (open or closed) and a shiny appearance. We recommend it primarily for combination to oily skin, but also for young skin with a tendency to acne. It is also suitable for skin affected by rosacea, as a complement to an appropriate treatment (subject to medical approval, of course). It is also useful for revitalising dull, asphyxiated complexions. In the latter case, its use in conjunction with a hyaluronic acid skin serum may be even more effective.
What skin issues?
You can combine a hyaluronic acid skincare product with an azelaic acid serum if your beauty goals are to:
Restore a clear, healthy-looking complexion without redness.
Combat the formation of blackheads.
Tighten the appearance of open pores. (Don't forget that open pores can also be a sign of latent dehydration, which is why Hyaluronic acid is so useful).
Smooth and mattify the skin's surface if it feels rough or shiny.
What dose?
The 10% concentration of our Azelaic acid skincare product is designed to offer optimum effectiveness. So there's no need to apply too much, as it won't make it any more effective than it already is. Just a few drops are enough to cover your face, neck and décolleté. If you have dehydrated skin, don't hesitate to increase the amount of Hyaluronic acid Moisturising Serum.
How can they be combined?
Type of galenic formulation. Both our serums have an aqueous base. Their light texture is therefore best applied to clean skin, just before your nourishing oil or moisturiser. If you opt for a cream formula with hyaluronic acid, make sure you apply it after your serum.
How to apply. If you apply your serums one after the other, preferably start with the Azelaic Acid serum. Be careful to avoid the eye area. Wait a few seconds, then continue with our 3.5% Hyaluronic Acid serum.
Frequency of application. These two products can be used alone or together once or twice a day. Don't hesitate to adapt the frequency of use to your skin's needs. During periods when imperfections are likely to develop, you can apply your Azelaic Acid treatment twice a day (morning and evening).
When to apply them?
"Acid" does not necessarily mean "photosensitising". In this case, neither Hyaluronic acid nor Azelaic acid increases your skin's sensitivity to the sun. So you're free to apply them whenever you like, in the morning and/or evening. If you're not sure, our Azelaic acid serum is particularly welcome in the morning. Its formula is ideal for blurring the appearance of pores and preventing shine. The perfect way to prepare your skin for make-up!
