Paula's ChoiceBOOST 10% Azelaic Acid Booster Cream Gel Face Serum with Salicylic Acid, Oil-Free Skin Brightening Serum for Face, Fragrance-Free

This product has become my holy grail. Whenever I get a pimple I just apply this and it's cleared up ALOT faster than usual and the dark mark doesn't appear as dark because this helps to combat the hyper pigmentation so they have an easier time fading, I love it so much.The only con I would say is that it make the area u applied it to a little itchy.

Performs great for a peeling effect to get rid of post acne hyperpigmentation marks. I just find it a bit too expensive for the quantity. Won't make tough pimples get away on its own, I use it synergistically and apply on top of a pimple some Indoxyl

This has really saved my skin. I get really bad hormonal breakouts occasionally and have tried almost everything to get rid of the hyperpigmentation/acne scars. I’ve used Paula’s Choice BHA and other products which have done wonders on my skin. I finally decided to give this a try after seeing reviews on Sephora. I kid you not, within the first two days I could see a difference. It was really noticeable within a week of use. It’s my holy grail now. It’s perfect for sensitive skin but of course always patch test. Definitely give this product a try. I have sensitive and oily skin but this has really done wonders! The scaring was really worse than the first photo.

Works extremely well and does not have much of a scent. May purge at first, but the product is extremely light on your skin.

I have acne. It’s mild now. four months ago (and for the last two years before that), my face was a swollen, blotchy mess much of the time.Then I started using this, and I took a photo of my face every day for all that time to see the progress, because here’s the thing about azelaic acid: It can behave like a (safe, non-resistance-forming) antibiotic for your skin, but it is very slow to show results. As I review my photos, I can see that for about two months of using this I didn’t really have a noticeable improvement. But then, after that, I can see a gradual improvement. By month four, my skin is so much better that I don’t think I’ll ever stop using this.No, my skin isn’t perfect. I have redness on my nose that appears to have resulted from acne, and I still get small zits here and there, but my days of deep, swollen, achy, itchy zits that last for weeks are gone. I haven’t had one like that in well, about two or three months.If you’re considering getting this, but you’re put off by the price, I get you. I thought so too. But this bottle lasts about two months if you use it twice a day, because you really don’t use a lot. So it isn’t as bad as it seems.I use this product as the very last in my night time skin routine — and I use it anywhere I can feel I will have a zit, anywhere I have one, and where I’ve recently had one — but I also just put a thin amount in the places I know have a tendency to breakout.I also use it in the morning, but then only a very small amount beneath sunscreen and makeup. It has a tendency to pill unfortunately, so you’ll need to be particularly careful with it. In the daytime use an extra tiny little bit of it. Moisturize the areas it will be on extra, let the moisturizer sink in, apply this, and gently pat products on top, don’t rub. For real, don’t rub or it’ll come right off (you can rub it in when applying it, just not once its been on your skin for more than about a minute).It can be a bit itchy. In my case its really only itchy when its on too thickly. This also gets better over time.I’ve found other spot treatments to be too harsh and drying, and/or not work well. This isn’t the fastest spot treatment, but if you can be patient, this is just awesome.

I feel like this product has potential. I’ve used it for 3 days and it didn’t break out my skin. However, it made my skin feel like it was burning and it stings. I wanted to wait at least a week to see if the feeling would subside but it’s uncomfortable. I think it may be too strong for my skin.

This stuff is a godsend. Yes the tube is small but you're supposed to use it for spot treatment. If you use it on a fresh emerging pimple, the next day it will be completely GONE. You can also use it for spot treatment for post breakout hyperpigmentation. I wish I had known of this stuff sooner. Worth the price

I got the travel size option and man it’s tiny for $13. I have Rosacea so it better do some hard lifting for that price at this size. I wanted to try it out before buying the bigger size. Hopefully there’s enough in the tube to make a difference.
