Product details

A dropper bottle of APLB Azelaic Acid Peptide Ampoule Serum on a white table against a periwinkle wall, beside centella leaves

Calm + refine

Azelaic acid, peptide and centella leaf water in a water-light ampoule, for moisture, bounce and tighter-looking pores.

APLB’s Azela Pept Cen complex brings azelaic acid, a peptide and centella together for dry, dull skin. It recharges moisture the moment it goes on, helps keep oil and water in balance, and stays mild and weakly acidic for sensitive skin.
