Can I use this with retinol or other acids?

Yes, but introduce slowly. Use azelaic acid in the evening and retinol on alternating nights initially. Always consult your RELUXE clinician for a personalized routine that won't cause irritation.

How long until I see results for acne?

Most patients notice reduced inflammation and redness within 2-4 weeks. Significant improvement in active breakouts typically occurs by 6-8 weeks, with continued improvement in post-acne marks over 3-4 months.

Is this safe for sensitive skin or rosacea?

Yes, azelaic acid is one of the gentlest yet most effective ingredients for rosacea and sensitive skin. It provides anti-inflammatory benefits without the irritation often caused by salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

Can I use this during pregnancy?

Azelaic acid is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but we recommend consulting with both your RELUXE provider and your physician before starting any new skincare during pregnancy.

About P Serum + Azelaic Acid 10% (AZA)

This precision-formulated P Serum combines 10% azelaic acid with Universkin's proprietary delivery system for enhanced skin tolerance and efficacy. Azelaic acid is a naturally-occurring dicarboxylic acid that provides triple-action benefits: antimicrobial properties to reduce acne-causing bacteria, anti-inflammatory effects to calm redness and rosacea, and tyrosinase inhibition to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and melasma. The lightweight, pH-optimized formula absorbs quickly without the grittiness often associated with azelaic acid products. Clinical studies show significant improvement in acne lesions, skin texture, and pigmentation uniformity within 8-12 weeks of consistent use. This serum is particularly effective for patients with sensitive or reactive skin who cannot tolerate higher-strength retinoids or glycolic acid treatments.

How to Use

Apply 2-3 drops to clean, dry skin in the evening after cleansing and toning. Gently pat into face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Start with every other night for the first week, then increase to nightly use as tolerated. Always follow with moisturizer and use SPF 30+ during the day, as azelaic acid can increase photosensitivity. Can be layered under other serums or treatments as directed by your RELUXE clinician.

Pro Tip from Our Clinicians

This serum pairs exceptionally well with our SkinPen microneedling treatments - apply 48 hours post-procedure to accelerate healing and prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. For melasma patients, combine with our IPL photofacials for comprehensive pigment correction.
