Powered by a potent blend of azelaic acid, salicylic acid (BHA) and visibly brightening botanicals, this multitasking formula combats the look of redness and soothes skin while fading the appearance of postacne marks and dark spots. Ongoing use can visibly diminish bumps and blemishes.
Ingredients:
- Azelaic Acid 10%: Visibly clarifies uneven skin tone, brightens dark spots, and fades postacne marks
- Salicylic Acid (BHA) 0.5%: Works within pores to decongest while smoothing the look of rough, bumpy texture.
- Licorice Root Extract: Visibly soothes and brightens the skin while addressing the appearance of redness and sensitivity.
Apply once or twice daily after cleansing, toning, and exfoliating. Wear alone or mix with your favorite booster, serum, or nighttime moisturizer. For daytime wear, always finish with sunscreen. Pro-tip: our boosters are formulated to complement each other-mix and match for even better results.

So far so good
I use hydroquinone for my hyperpigmentation in conjunction with retin a for one or two months then when I take time off of hydroquinone I use the azaleic acid in place with retin a. So far so good I am seeing continued results. This is my first time using this product. Has no fragrance. I am keeping it in my rotation.

Great addition
I purchased this product to help with my hyperpigmentation. So far I am seeing a minimal change in the brown spots on my face, hopefully it will continue to work. This product is not irritating, in fact I layer it over my prescription tret. The only reason I knocked off one star is that it tends to pill if you use an oil moisturizer.

Works great so far!
I am using this as alternative to retinol while I'm pregnant and so far so good! I have very sensitive skin and worry when switching to a new product, but I haven't experienced any irritation. I haven't been using it long enough to experience any super noticeable results, but my skin is still looking smooth and even similar to when I was using retinol.

Comparable to prescription
I was using the Finacea prescription product until my insurance stopped paying for it. This works equally well for a fraction of the cost! It's 10% instead of 15% so a bit milder but I am happy with it.

Works great for aging, combination, sensitive skin
This has been a game-changer for my sensitive, aging, combination skin. Helps with inflammation and feels light-almost not there kind of feeling. I replaced the niacinamide serum I was using with this because it was making my skin itch. This is soothing and keeping my skin clearer.

Perfect for oily aging skin
I tried this because I heard great things about azelaic acid, and I was not disappointed! This product has a matte finish which is perfect for me because I have combo skin (mostly oily) and it really helps even my skin tone and tone redness down. It's a staple in my skincare routine!

Steady but noticeable
I apply this nightly after serums and before moisturizer (unless I've used a strong acid that night, then I skip this product) and I have noticed a subtle but steady change in my overall skin. I have combination/oily skin and so I get a lot of acne on my cheeks and forehead, but I've noticed it has overall calmed down and my scarring is lightening slowly. This isn't a get-dramatic-results-overnight product, but with steady use, it will help dark marks and acne. It does have a little bit of a weird smell to it and I wish it came in a larger size for the price, but I would repurchase again.

Controls redness
I'm on my third tube of this. I had not used azaelic acid before, but I have rosacea and this works great to sooth redness. It leaves my face looking smooth and clear (the salicylic acid, I'm guessing) and seems to have faded a couple of dark spots. It does sting for several minutes after applying, unlike any AHA/BHA exfoliant ever has, and that was concerning at first but it never causes any lasting irritation or redness, and it always leaves my face looking terrific the next morning.

Must have
Acid booster is amazing, I have tried many other brands as well but Paula's Choice is the best one so far that I have used. This is my third purchase. Works great with acne!!

Helping with my breakouts!
I've been using this azelaic acid in combination with the Paula's Choice 2% BHA at night for about two months now. I noticed that when I was using the BHA alone, I still had breakouts on my cheeks (though it may have been partly due to maskne) but they recovered faster. After adding the azelaic acid into my routine, I have had less breakouts on my cheeks and around my mouth. My hormonal chin acne still comes around but the angry red bumps are smaller and subside faster. Will be repurchasing!
