Paula’s Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster 30ml

What it is: A skincare product formulated with a potent concentration of azelaic acid. Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in grains like barley, wheat, and rye. In skincare, it is renowned for its various benefits.

What it does: This concentrated formula harnesses the power of azelaic acid, a multifaceted ingredient known for its remarkable benefits. It works to combat acne by reducing inflammation and unclogging pores, making it an excellent choice for blemish-prone skin. Simultaneously, it brightens the complexion by fading dark spots, evening out skin tone, and diminishing the appearance of redness and hyperpigmentation. As an added bonus, its mild exfoliating properties promote smoother, more youthful-looking skin by minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. This booster also serves as an antioxidant shield, safeguarding your skin against environmental stressors. Incorporating this versatile product into your skincare routine can lead to clearer, brighter, and more radiant skin.

Main Ingredients

• ✔️ Azelaic Acid (10%): Azelaic acid is the star ingredient, present at a potent 10% concentration. It is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid that offers a range of benefits, including acne treatment, skin brightening, and anti-aging effects.

• ✔️ Dimethicone: Dimethicone is a silicone-based ingredient that helps create a smooth, silky texture and provides a protective barrier on the skin's surface. It also enhances the spreadability of the product.

• ✔️ C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate: This is an ester of benzoic acid, often used in skincare for its lightweight emollient properties, which help improve the product's texture and skin-feel.

• ✔️ Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: A fatty acid derived from coconut oil, it acts as an emollient, providing a soft and moisturizing feel to the skin.

• ✔️ Glycerin: Glycerin is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture, helping to keep the skin hydrated and supple.

• ✔️ Salicylic Acid: While not as prominent as azelaic acid, salicylic acid is also included in the formula. It is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its exfoliating properties and its ability to penetrate and unclog pores.

• ✔️ Allantoin: Allantoin is a soothing and hydrating ingredient that helps calm the skin and reduce irritation.

These key ingredients work together to make Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster an effective and well-rounded skincare product, targeting various skin concerns, including acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging, while also providing a pleasant texture and moisturizing benefits.
