FAQs

Is the serum vegan?
Yes, the formula is developed respectfully with vegan lifestyle choices.
Can I use this serum if I have rosacea?
Yes, Azelaic Acid is safe to use on rosacea-prone skin and can have calming and redness-reducing properties.
Is it normal for this serum to feel tingling with this serum?
Yes, a slight tingling sensation is normal when you are first starting out on this serum.
Can this be used under my makeup?
Yes! This lightweight, friction-free formula was developed to work seamlessly under makeup with no pilling. The serum can also be used alongside other targeted serums in your routine.
What products would you pair this with?
For the ultimate Allies of Skin clarifying routine, we recommend using this product with our Molecular Silk Amino Hydrating Cleanser, Molecular Saviour Probiotics Treatment Mist, Peptides & Antioxidants Advanced Firming Daily Treatment, and The One SPF 50 Invisible Sunscreen Gel in the morning. At night, we recommend swapping the Daily Treatment with our Promise Keeper Nightly Blemish Treatment and leaving out the sunscreen.
Can I use other acids with this serum, like your Mandelic Pigmentation Corrector Night Serum?
Yes, you can! Especially if you have stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), the Mandelic Night Serum is a great addition to your routine. If you have very sensitive skin or aren’t used to using acids on a regular basis, we recommend starting by using the Mandelic Night Serum 2-3 times per week and building up to more frequent use if necessary.
We do however recommend spacing usage of high-performance acids by using the Azelaic Clarifying Serum one day and the Mandelic Night Serum another day. We do not recommend using both together as the combination can increase skin sensitivity.
Can this serum help with hormonal breakouts?
Yes, the Azelaic & Kojic Advanced Clarifying Serum is effective in reducing breakouts, including hormonal acne. Its blend of ingredients like Azelaic Acid, Kojic Acid, and Hexylresorcinol helps target blemishes, calm redness, and prevent post-acne marks, making it suitable for managing hormonal flare-ups.
Is this serum safe to use around the eyes?
While this serum is formulated to be gentle, we recommend avoiding direct contact with the eye area. The skin around your eyes is more delicate, and this product contains exfoliating acids that may cause irritation if applied too closely.
Is this pregnancy safe?
Yes. We do recommend checking in with your physician before starting on any new product during your pregnancy.
Are there specific active ingredients you don't recommend layering on top of one another?
Yes. We don't recommend combining retinoids with acids (AHAs or BHAs) in the same routine, as this can be too intense for most skin types and may cause dryness, irritation, or barrier compromise. Instead, alternate them by using retinol one night and your exfoliating acid on another. Similarly, avoid using multiple acid-containing products together in the same routine - instead, use one in the morning and another in the evening. This approach lets you enjoy the benefits of both without overwhelming your skin.
If you experience any sensitivity, take a short break from active treatments to allow your skin to reset and rebuild its natural barrier. During this time, focus on soothing, hydrating products like our Copper Tripeptide & Ectoin Advanced Repair Serum. Once your skin feels balanced, slowly reintroduce actives one at a time.
