Reviews Summary
Customers say this serum effectively reduces redness and calms irritated skin, particularly for those with rosacea and sensitive skin. Many appreciate its lightweight texture and gentle formula that doesn't cause irritation. Users report it helps fade acne scars and hyperpigmentation while making breakouts less angry-looking. The product works well for spot treatment and improves overall skin texture. Some mention it can pill under sunscreen or makeup, and a few experience initial tingling. Several note the small 30ml size runs out quickly. While most see gradual improvements with consistent use, some find effectiveness diminishes over time or experience increased irritation.

    Affordable, Effective, and Easy to Incorporate

    I've tried several azelaic acid products, and The INKEY List 10% Azelaic Acid Serum has been a pleasant addition to my skincare collection!

    One of the things I love most is the texture. When you're someone who layers multiple skincare products, finding formulas that feel comfortable and work well within a routine is important. I also like the affordable price point.

    I haven't used this one consistently enough to fairly evaluate its long-term effects on redness or uneven skin tone. So far, my experience has primarily been testing the texture, application, and how it fits into my routine.

    I've enjoyed those aspects enough that I already purchased two backups! I'm looking forward to giving it a longer, more consistent trial to see how it performs over time.

    Up to now, good results

    I love Inkey, with many skin problems (oily skin, breakouts, blackheads) through the years, this is another addition to my inkey skin care to try and relieve my redness and pigments. I have only give it 4 stars as I am still in the early days of use but so far so good. I have noticed alot of scaly, dry skin but that is expected, I believe? So just adding extra moisture.
