Who Should Avoid It
* First-time Azelaic Acid Users: While azelaic acid is generally well-tolerated, a 10% concentration can be active for beginners. Those with extremely hypersensitive skin should avoid jumping straight into daily application; start slowly (1-2 times a week) and patch test before full facial application.
* Severe Rosacea or Broken Skin: Do not apply over open wounds, active eczema patches, or deeply compromised, broken skin without consulting a dermatologist first.
HOW TO USE
1. Prep: After cleansing, apply your preferred toner to balance your skin's pH.
2. Dispense: Dispense 1-2 drops (up to 5 drops maximum as your skin builds tolerance) of the serum.
3. Apply: Gently smooth the serum evenly across your face, focusing on areas with prominent redness or irritation.
4. Frequency: If you are new to Azelaic Acid, start by applying it 1-2 times a week. Gradually increase the frequency to twice a day (morning and evening) as your skin adapts.
5. Protect: Always finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher.
