I LOVE this product and just ordered more. It saved my rosacea ravaged skin. It has never looked better!

I love the clearing out of the skin and the hyper pigmentation clarity

I wanted to give this as azelaic acid serum a try because I've tried retinol serum in the past, and they simply don't coincide with my skin type. I have some dry patches around my chin, and the retinol always exacerbated that problem. I'm very conservative when I first try these types of products, as I don't want to cause too much irritation, if it were to disagree with my skin. My experience was that I certainly felt a little tingling sensation, but nothing that I would frame as overly aggressive. That being said, I have to keep in mind that, I did use a very conservative amount at first. Unfortunately, I found that it really exacerbated my dry patches as well, leading to flaking issues, which I find it extremely aggravating. The reason I've given it four stars however, is that I decided to use it as a spot treatment for my oily areas, as it does a really good job of tamping down those overly glossy skin tones, and preventing possible breakouts. That of course was my experience, and with products like these it's very subjective towards your skin type. For my dry areas I prefer a hyaluronic acid serum. So what I had begun to do, is use this in combination with the hyaluronic acid serum, and spot treat the two different areas with different serums. To be honest, that's not necessarily ideal, as I wish I could just use one that would accommodate both different types of skin. I did like the consistency of it, and found that it saturated into the skin very nicely. All in all, it'd be difficult for me to recommend it, as I had mixed results, and feel as though skin products are very subjective. I did like the results on my oily areas however, and perhaps if you are someone with oilier skin, you might benefit from it as well.

Used this for less than a week and it removed my redness on my nose from rosecea. The first night it burned a little bit but each of the next days didn’t feel a thing. Great product.

I found this very irritating. My skin isn’t overly sensitive as I use a prescription based retinoids, as well as no issues with 10% glycolic acid. This really sensitized my skin. I experienced redness, stinging and slight peeling. I applied at night and use SPF 30 every day. I’m going to try and reduce frequency to a couple of nights a week and see if that helps, but overall am pretty disappointed
