20% azelaic acid serum aPAD by Geek & Gorgeous with a super light formula like water.
Azelaic Acid is a clinically proven 3-in-1 active ingredient that helps reduce blemishes, pigmentation and redness.
This formula uses a new generation water-soluble form called Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD) which has similar properties to Azelaic Acid but allows for a super light, oil-free texture.
The two strengths of aPAD are to even out skin tone and to control excess skin oil.
A serum formulated with Azeclair 2%, a solution containing 6% pure Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD).
While 6% may not seem like a high number, when it comes to PAD, it's an outstanding number.
The molecule is already effective and is normally used at 1-3%. Studies conducted by the ingredient's manufacturer show that 3% PAD (or 10% Azeclair) is an effective amount for balancing skin's oil production and evening out skin tone, while a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment used 5% PAD for the treatment of rosacea.
Geek Tip: In our experience, those who are sensitive to niacinamide tend to find aPAD an especially useful addition to their skincare routine.
The aPAD 20% Azelaic Acid Serum is ideal if you are looking for an Azelaic Acid product that is light in texture and blends well with other products.
It is a formula for all skin types although it is especially recommended for skin with blemishes, excess oil and/or redness (rosacea).
No fragrances or essential oils.
