Allies of Skin Azelaic & Kojic Clarifying Face Serum — 10% Azelaic Acid, 1% Kojic for Pores & Uneven Tone (1 fl oz)

This concentrated formula targets enlarged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, excess oil, rough texture, dark spots and post-blemish discoloration while also delivering soothing actives for comfort. Designed for daily use once skin has acclimated, the serum blends exfoliating and calming ingredients to address both surface congestion and visible pigmentation without heavy textures.

How quickly will I see clearer skin?

In a clinical evaluation, users experienced noticeable improvement in clarity within a month when following the recommended routine. Results can vary with skin type and adherence, and sensitivity should be monitored when increasing frequency.

• Clinically shown to help achieve clearer-looking skin in one month with regular use.
• 10% azelaic acid provides gentle chemical exfoliation to reduce clogged pores and roughness.
• Start twice weekly if you are new to acids, then increase as tolerated.

What active ingredients make this serum effective?

The formula combines a high concentration of azelaic acid for exfoliation and redness reduction with kojic acid to target dark spots, plus a calming complex to support comfort. Bakuchiol and licorice extracts help hydrate and soothe while addressing signs of premature aging.

• 10% azelaic acid: refines texture and helps diminish post-blemish marks.
• 1% kojic acid: assists in evening skin tone and fading hyperpigmentation.
• Bakuchiol, liquorice and ribose: calm, hydrate and help prevent early signs of aging.

How should I integrate this into my skincare routine?

Apply to clean, dry skin after cleansing and before heavier creams or sunscreen. If you’re introducing exfoliating acids, use sparingly at first and avoid combining with other strong actives until tolerance is established.

• Begin with twice-weekly evening applications; increase gradually to nightly as tolerated.
• Pair with a hydrating moisturizer to reduce potential dryness or irritation.
• Use daily broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day when using exfoliating acids.

Is this serum suitable for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?

The formula includes calming agents intended to soothe and reduce visible redness, but those with sensitive skin should patch test first. If irritation occurs, discontinue and consult a professional.

• Contains soothing liquorice, bakuchiol and ribose to help comfort the complexion.
• Patch test 24 hours prior to first full-face use, especially on reactive skin.
• Adjust frequency to skin tolerance; reduce use if redness or discomfort increases.

It suits those who want a lightweight, science-backed serum that blends exfoliation with calming botanicals — including individuals with sensitive skin who proceed cautiously and patch test before regular use.
