Love this !!
Paulaâs Choice is pretty expensive. Sometimes you can get cheap when itâs on sale at Ulta/Sephora. No scent but it does sting a bit. It does leave my skin smooth but itâs not for moisturizing. It helps with pores. And pretty effective. Iâve been using this and the naturium brand which is cheaper.

10% Azelaic Acid Booster
Iâve just started using it, and Iâm already noticing positive changes in my skincare. Remember to always test your product on a small spot, like your arm, before applying it to your face. ðª

Works great and smells satisfying, but kind of expensive
Very effective for redness and great for a gentle (at least as gentle as you can get) chemical exfoliant for acne or hyperpigmentation. It feels pretty great and smells medical/clean/chemically? which I don’t know if I’m weird, but I like and doesn’t peel unlike many other azelaic acids. Only problem is that you get a very small tube for 40 dollars and while it would be great if you used it for spot treating, if you use it on a lot of the face like me for my T-zone, it is pretty expensive. I used it sparingly (like once a week) and I’m almost out in about 4 months.

Iâm so glad I found this product. It very slowly transformed my skin in the best way.
I have acne. Itâs mild now. four months ago (and for the last two years before that), my face was a swollen, blotchy mess much of the time.Then I started using this, and I took a photo of my face every day for all that time to see the progress, because hereâs the thing about azelaic acid: It can behave like a (safe, non-resistance-forming) antibiotic for your skin, but it is very slow to show results. As I review my photos, I can see that for about two months of using this I didnât really have a noticeable improvement. But then, after that, I can see a gradual improvement. By month four, my skin is so much better that I donât think Iâll ever stop using this.No, my skin isnât perfect. I have redness on my nose that appears to have resulted from acne, and I still get small zits here and there, but my days of deep, swollen, achy, itchy zits that last for weeks are gone. I havenât had one like that in well, about two or three months.If youâre considering getting this, but youâre put off by the price, I get you. I thought so too. But this bottle lasts about two months if you use it twice a day, because you really donât use a lot. So it isnât as bad as it seems.I use this product as the very last in my night time skin routine â and I use it anywhere I can feel I will have a zit, anywhere I have one, and where Iâve recently had one â but I also just put a thin amount in the places I know have a tendency to breakout.I also use it in the morning, but then only a very small amount beneath sunscreen and makeup. It has a tendency to pill unfortunately, so youâll need to be particularly careful with it. In the daytime use an extra tiny little bit of it. Moisturize the areas it will be on extra, let the moisturizer sink in, apply this, and gently pat products on top, donât rub. For real, donât rub or itâll come right off (you can rub it in when applying it, just not once its been on your skin for more than about a minute).It can be a bit itchy. In my case its really only itchy when its on too thickly. This also gets better over time.Iâve found other spot treatments to be too harsh and drying, and/or not work well. This isnât the fastest spot treatment, but if you can be patient, this is just awesome.

Sample size, but great product
Looks like the free sample size tube of product I receive when I buy product from Sephora.. love ð the product vs price.

Great for red skin at a good price
I have red face, this really helps. Good texture, pretty thick. I put it on almost last before my moisturizer. Youâll want to patch test because it can sting since itâs acid. No negative effects and I combine with moisturizer and toner in the mornings. Much more affordable than other products that claim to do the same thing. Slightly weird smell

Not good for sensitive skin
I gave this product a chance because my skin has done well before using azelaic acid and salicylic acid separately. I tried this product to see if it would help relieve my acne and lighten my PIE but it instead broke me out with large, painful cystic acne. I think the combination of mixing the 2 acids into one product irritated my skin.This reaction was only after one use. I was planning to use it again to see if it subsided, but after reading the reviews on the Paulaâs Choice website, it seems like this is a common side effect for some people, and using it repeatedly only makes it worse. I wonât be using it again unfortunately and will go back to using these 2 acids separately.

I have oily skin and get hormonal break outs and maskne. I mix this with my moisturizer and itâs honestly helped calm my skin down SO MUCH. I find my complexion has improved too. And Iâve been using it less than a month! Donât forget to wear sunscreen if you use it in the day like I do!

I am beyond disappointed by this product. After reading the reviews I expected this to remove red spots/acne marks from my skin. I didn’t see any noticeable changes at the start so I waited… and waited… aaaand waited.It has been a month and a half and my skin still looks the same. I paid a ridiculous amount of money for a miniscule fragment of a supposedly effective treatment and let it slide, but enough is enough.I’m never buying this product (or any of Paula’s Choice products for that matter) ever again.
Hello! Product doesnât fit me, seems as fake;( I was waiting it for a long time;( finally went to the dermatologist –
I hope I will choose different one
