Geek & Gorgeous - aPAD - Soothing Azelaic acid Serum, against redness, for all skin types and also for sensitive skin, 1 oz

I have sensitive, oily skin that has become much more reactive in recent years. I've had perioral dermatitis on and off since I was a kid, and it's come back with a vengeance. So many products I used to tolerate well now make my face burn. This product, however, I tolerate very well. I patch tested it before using, of course, but I've had instances where something patch tests fine and then irritates my face when I spread it all over. This not only does not make my face itch, burn or swell, but delivers on the promises it makes pretty quickly: my swelling went down, my redness is much subtler and I have no itching around my nose (which for me is a constant). Naturally other people might be sensitive to this, but if you have similar skin to mine (acne and irritation prone, sensitive, oily) you might do well with this, even if it is an azelaic acid derivative rather than azelaic acid. I can't speak to the data backing it up, but I certainly have had very good results so far.

I didn’t rush into reviewing this product. I used it consistently for a while first to see how my skin would actually respond. After giving it enough time, I can say it’s been a really good addition to my routine. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or heavy. It feels gentle on the skin and helps calm redness while keeping my complexion more even. I also like that it layers well with other skincare products. Overall, this is a well-formulated azelaic acid product that feels soothing and effective when used consistently. Glad I gave it time before reviewing.

Geek and Gorgeous makes top notch serums and we can get them on Amazon with free shipping now! I had heard about Azelaic Acid and it's abilities to diminish redness. This product proves that to be right. It also does not irritate my sensitive skin even using it daily. 2 weeks later and I see less redness. Also absorbs impeccably. Recommend!!!

Breakouts reduced. Really helpful in keeping my redness down. Skins loving it!❤️

It is perfect for balancing oil to prevent acne.

Scars are fading

I never had a reaction like this before to anything. My skin broke out terribly overnight.

I purchased this product with hopes it would decrease some redness on my face. I used the entire bottle, didn't see any difference. For me, I give it one star. It may work for others. In that case, I recommend it.
