Chemist At Play Acne Control 20% Azelaic Acid + Niacinamide Face Serum 30ml

Chemist At Play Acne Control 20% Azelaic Acid + Niacinamide Face Serum 30ml is used for promoting skin clarity and balance with a potent blend of 10% Azelaic Acid and 10% Niacinamide. This unique formula helps enhance the appearance of a smooth, even-toned complexion while addressing issues like excess oil production and enlarged pores. The serum’s lightweight and non-greasy texture ensures quick absorption, making it suitable for both oily and combination skin types. With consistent use, this serum helps manage breakouts, improve skin texture, and reveal a more refined complexion.

• Azelaic Acid (10%): Azelaic Acid supports skin clarity by helping manage the buildup of dead skin cells and excess oil on the skin’s surface. This acid, derived from grains like barley and wheat, assists in promoting an even skin tone by reducing the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. Its anti-inflammatory properties help calm visible redness and irritation, especially in sensitive or acne-prone skin. Azelaic Acid is gentle, making it suitable for long-term use without overly drying the skin while maintaining smooth skin texture and reducing the visible effects of acne-related marks and scars.
   
• Niacinamide (10%): Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, is known for its multifaceted benefits for the skin. It helps improve skin elasticity by strengthening the skin's natural barrier, which helps retain moisture and maintain a healthy hydration balance. Niacinamide is also recognised for its ability to regulate sebum production, helping balance oil levels, especially for those with oily or combination skin. Its calming properties make it an effective ingredient for reducing the appearance of redness and blotchiness, promoting a more even complexion. Additionally, Niacinamide helps minimise the visibility of pores and enhances overall skin smoothness, contributing to a clearer, more refined look over time.
   
• Other Ingredients: Purified Water, Glycerin, Xanthan Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate and other stabilising agents. 

• Acne Management: This serum is formulated to assist with the appearance of acne by using a blend of Azelaic Acid and Niacinamide. Azelaic Acid promotes the gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells on the surface, which helps keep the skin clear and refreshed. By supporting the natural renewal process of the skin, it helps remove impurities that could lead to breakouts. Niacinamide, on the other hand, works to improve skin health by reinforcing the skin's barrier and reducing the appearance of blemishes, making it easier to manage acne-prone areas over time. Together, these ingredients support an environment that discourages excess oil and grime buildup, helping the skin appear more refined.
   
• Reduces the Appearance of Acne Scars: The serum works effectively in reducing the visibility of post-acne scars and dark spots. Azelaic Acid gently promotes the turnover of skin cells, encouraging the regeneration of healthier skin, which helps fade dark marks left behind by acne. It also helps even out skin tone by working on areas of hyperpigmentation, reducing the depth and intensity of scars. Meanwhile, Niacinamide complements this action by enhancing skin elasticity and boosting the skin’s natural ability to repair itself. 
   
• Balances Oil Production: Niacinamide, widely known for its ability to balance the skin's oil production, plays a pivotal role in regulating excess sebum without drying out the skin. It works by influencing the sebaceous glands to moderate oil output, which can reduce the appearance of greasy or shiny skin, especially in oily or combination skin types. This balanced oil production helps in reducing pore-clogging, which is often a precursor to breakouts. By keeping the skin’s oil levels in check, the serum encourages a fresher, matte appearance that feels smooth and lightweight.
   
• Decongested Pores: Clogged pores can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, and other skin issues, but this serum targets that by decongesting the skin at a deeper level. Azelaic Acid penetrates the pores, working gently to loosen debris and impurities that accumulate within them. By removing dead skin cells and excess oil that can cause blockages, the serum helps reduce the risk of further congestion. As a result, the skin appears clearer and more refined, with fewer visible imperfections like blackheads or enlarged pores. Niacinamide supports this process by strengthening the skin’s natural barrier, which helps pores stay cleaner for longer periods.
   
• Improves Skin Texture: Regular use of this serum promotes a smoother, more refined skin texture. Azelaic Acid's mild exfoliating properties help to remove rough, uneven patches of skin, revealing a softer surface underneath. The serum enhances the skin’s overall texture by reducing the appearance of bumps, rough patches, and other textural irregularities. Niacinamide further contributes by helping to minimise the appearance of pores and creating a visibly smoother complexion. Together, these ingredients ensure that the skin feels more supple and looks more polished with continued use.
   
• Supports an Even Skin Tone: This serum is designed to improve the appearance of skin tone by targeting discolouration and redness. Azelaic Acid assists in addressing hyperpigmentation by promoting an even distribution of melanin, which helps reduce the intensity of dark spots, age spots, and acne marks. It gently works on pigmentation, revealing a more uniform complexion over time. Niacinamide, renowned for its calming properties, helps soothe irritated skin, reducing the appearance of blotchiness and redness, especially in sensitive areas. Together, these ingredients encourage a radiant, balanced complexion, making the skin look more vibrant and healthy.
