Paula's Choice BOOST 10% Azelaic Acid Booster Cream Gel Face Serum with Salicylic Acid, Oil-Free Skin Brightening Serum for Face, Fragrance-Free - 30 ml

Really good product. It really works removing moles and dark spots from sun damage.

It reaaly suit my skin type

has anyone had problems with dry patchy skin after using this. i have acne and oily skin. it was fine for a while but 2weeks later i started noticing dry patchy skin on my face. so stopped using it. i tried adding moisturiser too but didnt work out. but i wish i could have completed it to see its results.. anyways i guess it doesnt suit my skin. message me if anyone else had similar effects.

Very costly...but slowly it works. I'm using it along with other treatments as well. No matter how good a product is, I have known from an experience of long pimple juggling years, it works in combination with other active ingredients. A 10-20% of azelaic is required to work. It takes a while. And for hormonal skin like mine, it certainly demands patience. It will give u tingling for a few seconds. Dab on lots of sunscreen during daytime n reapply.

Very very nice 👍

It is a very tiny tube. It won't even I'll b in lib balm size very tiny.So u couldn't even find whether this product worked out on ur skin when this one gets finished. This is purely a sample one and it shouldn't b sold for 900 bucks.

I have oily skin and get hormonal break outs and maskne. I mix this with my moisturizer and it’s honestly helped calm my skin down SO MUCH. I find my complexion has improved too. And I’ve been using it less than a month! Don’t forget to wear sunscreen if you use it in the day like I do!

Nice product

Works very well. Easy to use with one application, where other products require you to apply 2-3 different products with 5 minute waiting between applications.

My doctor recommended

I question why I didn’t get this product sooner in my life. Seriously. This product has made such a positive change in my skin - I feel like crying. While I have never been officially diagnosed, I’ve always felt that I have a type of rosacea. I don’t get pustules, zits or anything like that (unless I consume a lot of certain sugary drinks, and food) but for as long as I can remember, my face has always dealt with redness. Yes, certain things such as consuming sugar triggers it and makes it worse. I’ve been using skincare since my mid 20s. I am currently in my early 30s. I feel for the most part I was using products that were benefiting my skin, but as far as the redness went, nothing I used seemed to treat it. Around a year ago, I heard about how azelaic acid can be beneficial to people who have rosacea - treating redness and the pustules that go with it. So while I was aware of it, I just kept putting off purchasing it. Life stuff always coming up. After talking with ChatGPT about how sick I was about always walking around with a red/pink face, it recommended azelaic acid. Specifically Paula’s Choice. Now we all know that with a lot of skin care products it can take time to see differences. No lie… I began seeing results from this within just under two weeks or so. The redness in my face has decreased A LOT. I am now at a point in my life where I feel more comfortable going out without having to wear foundation or using something like Cicapair by Dr. Jart+ (which by the way is great at covering the redness). I am extremely pale, so dealing with a face that was red almost constantly - I felt that the difference between my face and body were so dramatically different, it made me self-conscious. But now? I am much more confident. The redness isn’t completely gone, but when I say it has been dramatically reduced, I mean it! My skin also has this type of glow that I’ve never experienced with other products - not even my tretinoin. I use this product every other day. I have several products I use for my skin and I cycle through them every other day. When I do apply this, like with every other skin care product, I always mist my skin lightly with water. Yes, doing this increases the potency of products but for my skin, I can tolerate it just fine. I also feel that by dampening your skin, the product spread, spreads a lot more evenly and easily. While this is priced at $39 and being only 1 ounce, I know it sounds expensive. But I will say that a little goes a LONG way. You don’t need to be using globs of this stuff. Also, I feel you can get away with using this every other day, like myself, so it can last longer. Everyone’s skin is different. Like I said, I’ve never been officially diagnosed, but based on what I’ve experienced and what I’ve read, I truly do feel I have some form of rosacea. I also have certain triggers that make it worse; such as consuming certain types of sugary drinks. So I feel that if you identify your specific triggers, use this product… you should see a definite difference. Wish I had gotten this product sooner! I absolutely love it.

Wonderful product, didn't expect to see results in at least as 7 to 10 days, had PIH spots which were were fresh and really darker than my skin tone, glad they're almost gone, plus facial skin feels softer and more radiant, can't wait to see full results

This was recommended by my dermatologist to use this on my off-days of trentenoin, so I use this about 4x per week. I am a WOC so obviously the hyperpigmentation from scare left after cystic acne breakouts are much more visible! But this has help start to even my skin tone back out gradually, and takes away some of the inflammation under the bumps. I use this with: panoxyl 10% benzoyl peroxide foaming cleanser, panoxyl salicylic acid toner, cerave intensive daily moisturizer, and trentenoin. This routine has started to finally show me results, after dealing with severe hormonal cystic inflammatory acne that is constantly flared-up, hurting, and multiplying. This is a great addition to my routine, and works WAY better than the one from the ordinary, and it doesn’t sting or irritate your sensitive skin.
