Product details

A bottle of Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum beside barley stalks and centella leaves

Calm + clear

Azelaic acid and a cica complex in a silky green serum that calms redness and gently smooths skin.

Anua’s answer for sensitive, redness-prone skin. Azelaic acid, which comes from grains like wheat and barley, gently exfoliates, while centella, panthenol and ceramides keep irritation down and the skin barrier comfortable.

Good to know

  • Azelaic acid and betaine salicylate (a BHA) exfoliate, so wear sunscreen during the day.
  • Made for sensitive skin, but introduce it slowly, as Anua recommends.
  • Some ingredients can naturally harden and turn white over time. Anua says this is normal and doesn’t affect the formula.
  • Comes in 10 mL and 30 mL.
