Geek & Gorgeous 101 aPAD - 20% Azelaic Derivative Serum, evens skin tone, normalizes oil production & calms skin - all skin types including sensitive, 30ml

I forgot that I purchased this product and so decide to combine it with tretinoin. The results together have been amazing, especially against diminishing hyperpigmentation that I had on my forehead which after a month or so has now disappeared. I do have sensitive skin and every so often will combine the two together on my face which after a number of days leaves a glass like finish. I also use the product on my nose and at the age of 50 still suffer with oily skin and blocked pores and this either on its on or again combined with tretinoin really does slow down the production of sebum and blackheads. If used every day and esp on the nose, it can be rather drying so use sparingly, maybe once a day or to start with, every other day. Even though I suffer with oily skin, both products together or even on their own, do make my face slightly dry. In this instance, I do use a powdered enzyme exfoliator maybe once a week or every two weeks and only use these products at night, occasionally depending on how blocked my nose can be I will use the acid twice a day.

Calms my skin. Easily absorbed. No irritation or breaking out.

Speedy delivery, it didn't break me out although I also didn't feel a massive benefit to using this. It doesn't state the strength of azelaic acid anywhere in the box, which I don't like.

I’ve had this product for a year and have been using it consistently, but honestly, I haven’t seen any of the results that are claimed about it. No noticeable changes in my skin at all, and I’m not satisfied with it. I feel like it’s a waste of money and I wouldn’t recommend it.

does what's it said

I have many cosmetically allergies and so far this product seems to be working fine I bought it on recommendation so we will see good value for money and leaves sking soft

Lovely serum, not greasy, does not sting and goes on well only need a few drops

Everyone's skin is different so take all reviews on skincare products with a grain of salt.However, my concern is about the fact that both bottles I've ordered: Once opened, after a few weeks, a reaction occurs where it becomes flakey when it dries on the skin.I've tested this on a plastic sheet and the same dry flakey residue occured. May be an issue with the batch but it's put me off using it as it seems it has a very short productive lifespan once opened.
