Targets persistent, recurring acne

"Azelaic acid*1," the main ingredient, has recently gained attention as a skincare ingredient for oily skin. It is known for promoting healthy skin and leading to a refined and smooth complexion.

Azelaic acid*1 has a property that makes it difficult to mix with water, and may not exhibit its full potential when mixed with liquids. COSRX has researched and analyzed the characteristics of azelaic acid*1 and developed it in a cream type where it can deliver its most effective results.

Cream developed with meticulous attention to pH environment

Even the most excellent ingredient is meaningless if it doesn't effectively reach the skin and deliver results.

Azelaic acid*1 is difficult to blend in neutral or alkaline environments with high pH. COSRX's two types of azelaic acid*1 creams are formulated with a focus on a weakly acidic pH, which is the optimal pH value, making it easier for the ingredient to reach the concerned areas effectively.

Furthermore, it is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores, and has completed suitability tests for acne-prone skin.

From potential concerns to red acne

Focusing on the stages before, during, and after skin irritation, from "skin with concerns about pores and excess sebum" in the initial stage of trouble, to "disrupted pore environment and acne" that change over time, and "redness and acne scars*2 after irritation," this product helps maintain healthy skin daily.

In addition to the main ingredient "azelaic acid*1," it also contains panthenol*3, 5 types of hyaluronic acid*4, niacinamide*5, and alpha-arbutin*5.
