ANUA’s serum combines 10% azelaic acid—an anti-inflammatory and blemish-fading ingredient—with a Gentle Calming Complex™ containing blue tansy oil, green tea leaf water, aloe juice, and seven types of centella to soothe irritation. Deep hydration is delivered through hyaluronic acid, ceramides, squalane, and beta-glucan, making it ideal for sensitive, rosacea-prone, acne-prone, and redness-sensitive skin. Its non-comedogenic, fragrance- and alcohol-free formula absorbs quickly, leaving a dewy, plumped finish.

Benefits

Redness reduction & anti-inflammatory: 10% azelaic acid calms irritation, acne-related redness, and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE).

Brightening & texture refinement: Also helps fade discoloration and smooth rough patches.

Deep hydration: Hyaluronic acid, panthenol, beta-glucan, ceramide NP, and squalane maintain long-lasting moisture and plumpness.

Barrier support & soothing: Features centella extracts, allantoin, and calming botanical waters to preserve barrier and reduce inflammation.

Minimal irritation texture: Despite a potent azelaic acid level, it delivers a smooth watery texture and is generally well tolerated—even by sensitive or acne-prone skin.
