Kisocare 20% Azelaic Acid Serum 30ml

Kisocare 20% Azelaic Acid Serum 30ml
Made for oily skin struggling with excess sebum and rough, uneven pore texture. This 20% pure azelaic acid serum — a grain- or yeast-derived skin-conditioning acid — helps balance moisture and oil for a smoother feel. The formula also includes three Centella (CICA) actives, four types of hyaluronic acid, plus NAD+ and panthenol to support hydration and a healthier-looking complexion.

A lightweight dropper serum that spreads with a watery feel and absorbs easily without heaviness — suited to daily use morning and night after toner. Azelaic acid may form white crystals in cold conditions; this is a known ingredient trait and does not affect quality or safety. Store around room temperature (about 20°C).

How to use

1. After cleansing, prep skin with toner.
2. Take about 3–4 drops in the palm, pat over the face or areas of concern until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer.
3. Suitable morning and night. If you are new to high-strength azelaic acid, start in the evening and increase frequency as comfortable.
4. When using by day, always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen — azelaic acid can increase photosensitivity.
5. Do not layer with the same-line azelaic acid creams (AZ15 / AZ20) or the 15% azelaic acid essence at the same time.
6. Do not use on damaged or abnormal skin; discontinue if severe irritation occurs. Use within about 3 months of opening; store away from heat, humidity and direct sun.

FAQ

Q: What concentration of azelaic acid does this essence contain?
A: This essence contains 20% azelaic acid — the brand’s highest-concentration azelaic acid formula in a lightweight essence format. It is designed for those who have already adjusted to lower-concentration azelaic acid products and want enhanced visible refining results.

Q: How is Balancing Essence AZ 20 different from AZ 15?
A: AZ 20 has 20% azelaic acid versus 15% in AZ 15. AZ 20 suits those who have already tried the 15% version and want to step up for more noticeable complexion-refining results. If you are new to azelaic acid, start with AZ 15.

Q: How do I use this azelaic acid essence in my routine?
A: Apply a small amount after cleansing and toning, before moisturizer. Gently pat in and allow to absorb. Start with evening use to let skin adjust, then increase frequency as comfortable. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF in the morning.

Q: Is this essence suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Azelaic acid is generally well tolerated, but the 20% concentration is higher and may not suit very sensitive skin. If your skin is reactive, start with a lower concentration first and patch-test before full use.

Q: Can I use this with niacinamide or vitamin C?
A: Yes. Azelaic acid pairs well with niacinamide to further support texture and balance. With vitamin C, use vitamin C in the morning and this essence in the evening to reduce irritation risk from stacking multiple actives at once.
