How to use

Step 4 Treatments 10% Azelaic Acid Booster

How to use a serum

Once or twice daily, apply to face and neck. May be used alone or added to your favourite moisturiser or serum. For daytime, always follow with a sunscreen rated SPF 30 or higher.

Full routine

Here's a step-by-step of your morning & evening skincare application.

Step 1: Cleanser

Wet your face and apply a small amount with gentle, circular motions. Rinse well. To remove heavy makeup, repeat or use with a clean, wet washcloth.

Step 2: Toner

With your fingertips or a cotton pad, gently apply over the face and neck. Do not rinse.

Step 3 Exfoliants

Gently apply with your fingertips or a cotton pad over the face and neck, including the eye area (avoid lash line and eyelids). Do not rinse. Start slowly: Apply every other day and note your skin's response. Then use up to twice daily.

Step 4 Treatments

Dispense a pearl-sized amount to your hand and apply once or twice daily to the face, neck and eye area.

Step 5 Moisturisers

Use a day moisturiser as the last step in your morning skincare routine and apply liberally at least 15 minutes before stepping into sun exposure. As always, it's best to reapply every two hours once the skin has been exposed to direct sunlight. For a night moisturiser, apply a small amount once or twice daily to the face and neck.

FAQ

Most asked

Is the Azelaic Acid Booster an alternative to breakout-fighting products medicated with benzoyl peroxide?

This booster is an excellent alternative to products with benzoyl peroxide as it has a high content of azelaic acid, which research shows has an antibacterial effect on acne-causing bacteria. It also acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory, helping to reduce the swelling and redness that often accompanies acne. Azelaic acid can be an excellent alternative for people with breakout concerns who cannot tolerate benzoyl peroxide.

Is there another Paula's Choice product comparable to the Azelaic Acid Booster with azelaic acid and BHA?

Our Azelaic Acid Booster with azelaic acid & BHA is identical to the CLEAR Skin Clearing Treatment with azelaic acid & BHA.
