Mili Godio is an editor at Select who has written a variety of skin care stories, including treatments for cystic acne, keratosis pilaris and dark under-eye circles. For this article, Godio spoke to eight dermatologists about how azelaic acid works and highlighted their recommendations for the best azelaic acid products to consider. Now, Paula’s Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster is a completely different story than The Ordinary for several reasons. But let’s start with some of the beneficial ingredients it contains: Other key INKEY List products to help reduce facial redness include; Oat Cleansing Balm, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Niacinamide Serum and Omega Water Cream. Our Redness Solution Routine is a 4-step complete skincare routine to visibly reduce the appearance of redness and soothe skin that feels irritated.The Ordinary offers a range of Retinol Solutions so you can start where you feel your skin can tolerate the active ingredients and stay with the same brand as and when your skin desires more. You know that feeling when you take a painkiller and you’re wondering whether the painkiller will “locate” the pain and stop it. And it always does.

It offers mild exfoliating properties which are a suitable and tolerable option for acne-prone skins that are weakened and sensitized due to harsh treatments. The Inkey List has formulated theirs with 10% Azelaic Acid to reduce the appearance of redness and calm the skin for an even complexion. They’ve also added 0.3% Allantoin which is good for soothing the skin, counteracting any irritation you may get from the acid. We do not recommend using Azelaic Acid and AHAs (Glycolic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Apple Cider Vinegar), BHAs (Salicylic Acid, Beta Hydroxy Acid or C-50 Blemish Acid Treatment), PHA Toner or Retinols at the same time as this can lead to over exfoliation and sensitised skin, so alternate and use on different days.Now, both Paula’s Choice and The Ordinary have the two most popular Azelaic Acid products out there and they don’t really have much competition when it comes to this particular ingredient. As the name of The Ordinary Ascorbyl Glucoside Solution 12% suggests, this solution is formulated with the weaker vitamin C derivative, ascorbyl glucoside, at a dosage of 12%.

Everyone’s skin reacts differently to different products. You may see excellent results from this and nothing from the FaceTheory. I feel The Inkey List really do make some excellent products, so it’s always worth giving this a try if you concerns are redness, texture issues or mild breakouts. I wouldn’t not recommend it, but I think personally I’d suggest the FaceTheory serum over this one. Brands Product Description
