MEDICUBE: Azelaic Acid 16 Calming Serum

A high‑strength azelaic acid serum (16 % complex) formulated to calm, refine, and even skin tone while helping with blemishes, texture and redness. It’s part of Medicube’s corrective serum line for oil‑prone, acne‑prone, or irritated skin.

✨ Key Benefits

• Targets breakouts & sebum: The azelaic acid complex helps regulate excess oil and tackle acne‑related concerns.

• Improves uneven tone & marks: Helps reduce the look of dark spots and post‑acne marks (hyperpigmentation).

• Refines texture & pores: Works on rough texture and visibly smoother skin finish.

• Soothes irritation: With ingredients like niacinamide and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) to calm redness and support barrier health.

• Hydrates and balances: Botanical extracts and barrier‑supporting lipids help maintain moisture and resilience.

🧴 Key Ingredients

• Azelaic Acid (16 %) – antibacterial, anti‑inflammatory, helps balance sebum and improve blemishes and pigmentation.

• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – brightens tone, regulates oil, and strengthens the skin barrier.

• Pantothenic Acid & Panthenol (Vitamin B5) – improve hydration and calm irritation.

• Centella & Allantoin – soothing botanicals for irritated or sensitive skin.

• Ceramides, Squalane & Shea Butter – help lock in moisture and support the lipid barrier.

🧠 How to Use

1. Cleanse & tone: Start with clean skin.

2. Apply serum: Dispense 1–2 pumps and smooth over the face (avoid eye area).

3. Pat gently: Light patting boosts absorption.

4. Follow with moisturizer: Finish with a cream suitable for your skin type.

5. Use sunscreen in the morning: Active treatments benefit from UV protection.

Tip — With potent actives like azelaic acid, if you’re new to it, start with every other day or a thin layer to build tolerance.

⚠️ Who It’s Best For

✔ Acne‑prone, combination or oily skin
✔ Those concerned with redness, dark spots, texture and sebum imbalance
✔ Users looking for a concentrated active serum following toner

Be cautious if your skin is extremely sensitive or barrier‑compromised — new actives can cause irritation if introduced too quickly. Patch testing is recommended.
