description
Azelaic Acid is a clinically proven, multitasking superstar for problem-prone skin, effectively targeting three key concerns: blemishes, redness, and uneven skin tone. Its antibacterial effect and ability to support healthy skin cell turnover within the pores make it especially useful for acne-prone skin, helping with blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed blemishes. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, Azelaic Acid is also a well-established active for type 2 rosacea and associated redness. And that’s not all: it also helps tackle post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) and uneven skin tone for a clearer, more even-looking complexion.

Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Beta-Glucan
Alongside 15% pure Azelaic Acid, AAll Clear contains soothing actives such as Glycyrrhetinic Acid, Beta-Glucan, Willowherb Extract, and Phyto Ceramides to complement the high-strength formula and further support problem-prone skin.
AAll Clear is a suspension, meaning it contains a high amount of pure, undissolved Azelaic Acid, similar to how Azelaic Acid is formulated in prescription products. Suspensions are tricky to formulate into elegant textures, so we worked hard to make AAll Clear lightweight, comfortable, and easy to layer. The pump packaging also makes dosing simple and convenient.

how to use
Apply a few pumps to the face after cleansing, liquid products & gel-textured serums, and before creams. Can be used AM and/or PM.
Shake well before use.
Good to know: A little tingling or itching can be normal when you first start using a 15% formula like AAll Clear. Most often, it gets better over the first few weeks, but if it doesn’t improve, there’s no need to push it: our aPAD serum with 6% PAD (Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, a gentler AA derivative) is a great alternative. Also, Azelaic Acid does not increase sun sensitivity, but using SPF every morning is still super important for gorgeous & healthy skin.
Geek tip: AAll Clear & A-Game (with Retinal) are a superstar duo if you have blemish-prone skin but are also focused on smart-aging.
Shelf life: 2 years from production (unopened), 6 months PAO (period after opening)
