Q+A Azelaic Acid Balancing Serum (30ml), Natural Face Serum with Zinc PCA and Antioxidant Super Grains, Fragrance Free Skincare, Calms Blemishes and Smoothes Skin

My third purchase of this serum. I have had issues with rosacea outbreaks going back a couple of years and controlled by taking antibiotics, only to flare up again. My daughter suggested azaleic acid, so I used a couple of other more expensive brands that worked OK, but since using the Q + A one I've had over a year without needing any antibiotics or getting serious outbreaks. It applies easily, has some odour to it that is not bad and doesn't linger and skin feels great ...... superb value for money, superb product!

I never write amazon reviews and I'm really bad at reading them too lol... the first time I used this product, my face was absolutely on fire. Bright red, burning, it was honestly a bit scary so I came on here to read the reviews and a couple of other people had said the same thing. Bummer. But I'm also cheap as hell so I decided to keep using it since I already bought it. It didn't burn at all the second time. Actually my skin looked a bit less pink and more even than usual, which was kinda what I was hoping for. What I learned is that this burns of I apply it directly after exfoliating, and tbh, my exfoliator burns so I think that is the real problem here. If I apply on a day where I haven't exfoliated, it doesn't burn at all. If I wait like 10m after exfoliating, it does burn a little. Other reviews also mention pilling: it does pill pretty bad with my moisturiser if I apply Mt moisturiser straight away. If I wait like 3-5 minutes and apply my moisturiser gently, it doesn't pill but I think it would if I applied more vigorously 5 stars because I think the burning is caused by exfoliating. When I don't exfoliate, I genuinely think this is making a difference to my uneven skin tone (red/rosacea)

I am a late 40s woman with sensitive skin. I bought this to tackle rosacea/ redness - particularly on my cheeks. This was my experience: Day 1. Do not do as I did and apply three pumps immediately after a shower. It will STING! A tingle is expected but one pump is enough and should be used on a completely dry face. Week 1. Applied nightly. Skin purged. Very "angry" redness. Week 2. Applied twice a day. Very dry lips. This is not normal for me. Week 3. Applied twice a day. Purging has lessoned. Back to pre-treatment levels of redness/blotchiness. Week 4. Applied twice a day. Tentatively beginning to see some improvement. Week 5. Beginning to get to end of bottle and as more as difficult to "pump" a specific amount, I used too much and experienced very red/inflamed skin. Took a break for a couple of days. Week 6. Redness much diminished and skin much clearer/brighter. I only experienced "piling" when I put too much product on. I liked the consistency and it was fine under makeup. I bought this product primarily to treat rosacea on my cheeks. I was not expecting it to also deal with closed comedones on my forehead. This has been a bonus. I have now "graduated" to a product with a higher concentration but I'm glad I started out with this one to get my skin used to the active ingredient.

Everyone on tiktok is talking about the anua 10% and azelaic acid and how amazing it is. The anua is more than double the price and I have very sensitive skin and have never really used any actives in any sort of serious manner Azelaic acid is apparently most effective at 10% with daily consistent use. After a lot of searching I found that the Q+A is around 7-8% Which is why I chose it, to see how my skin reacted. First bottle I started low and slow. A small drop onto dried skin (after cleansing and essence) spread across my face, it needs to be applied to the entire face and not just spot treatment. I did this twice a week for a week, before moving up to every other night for a week. Then eventually mornings twice a week + nights every other day Until I was up to every day morning and night This did cause purging. How do I know it was purging? Cus it was small white heads which I don't usually suffer with, but in the areas I do usually break out After about 6-8 weeks it did calm. I am on my second bottle now, and with daily use, twice a day, two generous pumps, I reckon it lasts a month. Two pumps does the entire face and neck. I will be switching to a stronger 10% when this bottle runs out, I just introduced vitamin c serum into my routine and didn't want to change the AA to make sure I knew if I reacted to the new introduction. My skin is definitely feeling more under control, I had the most horrendous hormonal acne which I've been suffering with for maybe 2 years. At this concentration I don't think it's enough to actually really target and benefit from AA. But it is a way to introduce your skin to actives and glad I did as it's got a great price point. I feel like AA isn't great for fading scars etc as the skinfluencers claim, or hyperpigmentation, but it DOES help. And my skin definitely feels calmer. I have been researching and it appears that to target the acne scars I have I should combine AA with niacinamide I have also just started using the AA with benzol peroxide gel and it's really helped with some closed comedones and (I think a purge) from vit c. This brand of AA is great to get your skin used to AA as well as a base to get you started with a skin care journey and get other actives into your routine. Highly recommend for the price point, gentle concentration. Sits well under makeup and doesn't pill *Tip* the first time I used this, I must have got it too close to the sensitive area at the corner of my mouth cus I had a stinging burn for a few days after. lesson learnt, apply a layer of vaseline to lips before applying. I don't actually always remember to now, but I haven't had the irratation around my lips since. Think I've been using for 3 months now. Even if I hadn't added vit c, I probably would have stuck to a second bottle of this to ensure my skin was happy before increasing to a 10% May well decide to get a third before upping if I decide to add niacinamide for scaring.

Haven't noticed any difference at all and I'm using it twice a day religiously.

3 weeks in to using twice a day and I noticed a difference within a few days of use (dermatologist said I have mild rosacea, problem patch of bumps and redness kept coming up for over a year). Still a few marks coming up but understand 1 month is key before considering something else. I opted for this to try something budget friendly first and I'm really impressed for the price so highly recommend. Only irritation I got was when I got some on my lips and didnt wipe it off before bed. Woke up with split skin at the edge of my mouth and had seen this in another review also! Not a product fault just inevitable with the ingredient. I'm combining this with a daytime spf and a super moisturising night cream and serums.

Product is great and effective for balancing skin texture, gentle enough.

Good product and makes a difference. The skin looks tighter and with less visible pores.

I’ve been using the Q+A Azelaic Acid and Vitamin C, and I’m impressed with the results! The Azelaic Acid helps calm redness and smooth out my skin texture, while the Vitamin C brightens and evens out my complexion. Together, they’re a perfect duo for glowing, healthy-looking skin. Lightweight, non-irritating, and super effective!

Didn’t work for me I have light dermatitis and eczema on my scalp and around my eyes. I hope this will calm the inflamed skin.

Third time i've bought this and it's helped my acne a ton lot. if you have oily skin and suddenly get acne (and have sensitive skin too) this will help. Took about 2 months for it to really clear up much of it. Let's say slightly less than 2 months for the effects to show. 1,5 for your skin to start clearing up. Best applied at night. Pair it with moisturizer so it doesn't dry your skin barrier and use cleanser before applying this serum. But it works absolutely great. Big recommend for anyone who wants to clear up their acne.
