101 aPAD - 20% Azelaic Derivative Serum, evens skin tone, normalizes oil production & calms skin - all skin types including sensitive, 30ml

I switched to this from the Dermatica azelaic acid and have really enjoyed using it. The texture is one of the main differences for me. This is more of a slightly thicker serum, whereas Dermatica was a cream. It has no scent, spreads easily and absorbs beautifully into the skin. I use it once a day, usually as one of the first steps after toner. I have concerns about the dropper compared to a pump, but haven't noticed any degradation. It leaves my skin feeling soft and comfortable, not tight or sticky. I have definitely seen an improvement in the overall evenness of my skin tone and a reduction in background redness. I do use it alongside other products, particularly Medik8 Calmwise Colour Correct, so I cannot attribute all the results to this alone. I have used two different azelaic acid products over time, so the improvement may be cumulative. This is my first Geek and Gorgeous purchase and I am impressed. The quality feels high for the price point and I would happily buy it again. I would also be interested in exploring more from the range based on this experience.

Chatgot did not lie. This is for my blackhead, hyperpigmentation girlies. It works. I have got a oily acne prone skin and using this product has been such a great value to me Use a barrier healing toner, this, and a good moisturizer. Don’t forget to use a sunscreen by morning.

Not sure if its working, but my skin is softer, absorb Welland it's good value for the money.

I forgot that I purchased this product and so decide to combine it with tretinoin. The results together have been amazing, especially against diminishing hyperpigmentation that I had on my forehead which after a month or so has now disappeared. I do have sensitive skin and every so often will combine the two together on my face which after a number of days leaves a glass like finish. I also use the product on my nose and at the age of 50 still suffer with oily skin and blocked pores and this either on its on or again combined with tretinoin really does slow down the production of sebum and blackheads. If used every day and esp on the nose, it can be rather drying so use sparingly, maybe once a day or to start with, every other day. Even though I suffer with oily skin, both products together or even on their own, do make my face slightly dry. In this instance, I do use a powdered enzyme exfoliator maybe once a week or every two weeks and only use these products at night, occasionally depending on how blocked my nose can be I will use the acid twice a day.

I was recommended to buy this to pair with another serum Good price excellent serum

Purchased this many times- love it. I use it with Dermatica's Azelaic acid and the combination really works to help gentley resurface the skin (improving texture) and reduce hyperpigmentation. I saw results after about 6 weeks with consistent use (at least 5 times a week). This is also an option for those who find Azelaic acid a bit too irritating for the skin due to it being a derivative serum. Definitely recommend.

Everyone's skin is different so take all reviews on skincare products with a grain of salt. However, my concern is about the fact that both bottles I've ordered: Once opened, after a few weeks, a reaction occurs where it becomes flakey when it dries on the skin. I've tested this on a plastic sheet and the same dry flakey residue occured. May be an issue with the batch but it's put me off using it as it seems it has a very short productive lifespan once opened.

A good alternative if you cant tolerate the natural form
