Allies of Skin Azelaic & Kojic Clarifying Face Serum | Clinically Proven for Acne & Blemish Prone Skin |10% Azelaic Acid Treats Pigmentation and Redness | Targets Pores & Uneven Skin Texture (1 Fl oz)

Great serum. Really helps keep acne at bay while treating my hyperpigmentation.

This serum works very well, but I'd say use with caution if you have sensitive broken/ irritated skin. The first few times I used it, it very quickly reduced the redness in my face (I often have red and irritated skin). It absorbed very well and made my skin feel soft. I used it another time when my face had been itchy and irritated and it burned quite badly where I must have had open areas in my skin. So just be careful when using and don't use when you have really irritated skin. I don't often get acne so I'm not the best judge for this aspect, but my skin does look smoother. It's a high pricepoint but does actually appear to work and have results.

Thin consistency serum that made my skin hydrated without being to hard while it treats my large pores.

I've used several Allies of Skin products over the years with mixed results--for some reason I seem to either love or despise what they offer with few products landing in-between those points. This serum, happily, falls securely on the "love" side of the ledger!I should begin by stating that neither hyperpigmentation nor acne are issues for me and I cannot speak to its efficacy for those concerns. I ordered this specifically for its brightening and smoothing effects, and it absolutely delivers on both! The 1% kojic acid is a little on the low side, but 10% azelaic seems to be the sweet spot for my skin.The serum is an opaque white with the consistency of a light lotion. Just 2-3 pumps are needed to do both face and neck, and I find that the serum sinks in almost instantly. It leaves no residue or tackiness, and I have not experienced any pilling (an issue I've had in the past with a couple AoS products); it works equally well on its own or under makeup, and I've experienced no breakouts or irritation after use. The serum is unscented. The packaging is premium across the board, which is as expected for this decidedly upscale brand.The brightening effects are visible almost instantly, and my husband commented on my "glow" after the first use! It took a bit longer to see it impact the evenness of my skin tone, but it works better for that that literally any product I've tried before.It is definitely not a budget product, but--for me, at least--the benefits more than outweigh the price. I am hugely impressed and will never willingly be without this serum. Highly recommended!

I've been using this every day for about 5 weeks now and have noticed a remarkable difference. My skin looks and feels smoother, and has fewer marks and spots overall. I've been using it twice a day as suggested and surprisingly still have what feels about 1/3 of a bottle left, so it's actually a generous amount even if it doesn't appear to be at first glance. The price is obviously a lot, but for the efficacy and amount of product you get, I think it's actually worth it.

I have been using this serum for 3 weeks and have not noticed any difference in my skin besides feeling hydrated and soft.It is a very thin consistency that absorbs very quickly.Not oily or sticky. It is unscented.It is very pricey for the results I have seen but will continue to use it hoping for more.

This worked nicely on my mature skin. It sinks in well and doesn't leave any residue behind. My skin feels softer and looks more even toned. It really makes my skin glow and appear more youthful and radiant. I have not experienced any irritation or adverse effects from this product.

i'm a women over the age of 50, so my skin has not been looking quite as radiant as i like. i thought i would give this product a try. One pump from the bottle is all you need. It's a generous amount and spreads easily over the face. It goes on a little tacky, but the tackiness goes away after a few mintutes of air drying.After a couple weeks i began noticing that the skin on my face is much softer. i'm not having issues with redness or uneven tones. Pores appear smaller and i'm having less blackheads on my chin area. The changes are subtle, but noticeable. My skin is glowing and feels much more hydrated and clear.Price is pretty high for what it is, but i do feel like it's effective on evening out skin tones and softening the skin.
