Review: Works amazingly well for my rosacia - My third purchase of this serum. I have had issues with rosacea outbreaks going back a couple of years and controlled by taking antibiotics, only to flare up again. My daughter suggested azaleic acid, so I used a couple of other more expensive brands that worked OK, but since using the Q + A one I've had over a year without needing any antibiotics or getting serious outbreaks. It applies easily, has some odour to it that is not bad and doesn't linger and skin feels great ...... superb value for money, superb product! Review: 8% azelaic acid - great introduction for beginners active for acne sufferers. - Everyone on tiktok is talking about the anua 10% and azelaic acid and how amazing it is. The anua is more than double the price and I have very sensitive skin and have never really used any actives in any sort of serious manner Azelaic acid is apparently most effective at 10% with daily consistent use. After a lot of searching I found that the Q+A is around 7-8% Which is why I chose it, to see how my skin reacted. First bottle I started low and slow. A small drop onto dried skin (after cleansing and essence) spread across my face, it needs to be applied to the entire face and not just spot treatment. I did this twice a week for a week, before moving up to every other night for a week. Then eventually mornings twice a week + nights every other day Until I was up to every day morning and night This did cause purging. How do I know it was purging? Cus it was small white heads which I don't usually suffer with, but in the areas I do usually break out After about 6-8 weeks it did calm. I am on my second bottle now, and with daily use, twice a day, two generous pumps, I reckon it lasts a month. Two pumps does the entire face and neck. I will be switching to a stronger 10% when this bottle runs out, I just introduced vitamin c serum into my routine and didn't want to change the AA to make sure I knew if I reacted to the new introduction. My skin is definitely feeling more under control, I had the most horrendous hormonal acne which I've been suffering with for maybe 2 years. At this concentration I don't think it's enough to actually really target and benefit from AA. But it is a way to introduce your skin to actives and glad I did as it's got a great price point. I feel like AA isn't great for fading scars etc as the skinfluencers claim, or hyperpigmentation, but it DOES help. And my skin definitely feels calmer. I have been researching and it appears that to target the acne scars I have I should combine AA with niacinamide I have also just started using the AA with benzol peroxide gel and it's really helped with some closed comedones and (I think a purge) from vit c. This brand of AA is great to get your skin used to AA as well as a base to get you started with a skin care journey and get other actives into your routine. Highly recommend for the price point, gentle concentration. Sits well under makeup and doesn't pill *Tip* the first time I used this, I must have got it too close to the sensitive area at the corner of my mouth cus I had a stinging burn for a few days after. lesson learnt, apply a layer of vaseline to lips before applying. I don't actually always remember to now, but I haven't had the irratation around my lips since. Think I've been using for 3 months now. Even if I hadn't added vit c, I probably would have stuck to a second bottle of this to ensure my skin was happy before increasing to a 10% May well decide to get a third before upping if I decide to add niacinamide for scaring. ## Features - Balancing Serum for Clearer, Calmer Skin: This 97.3% natural azelaic acid serum targets breakouts with skin-soothing Azelaic Acid and controls oil with pore-minimising Zinc PCA.

I bought this to tackle rosacea/ redness - particularly on my cheeks. This was my experience: Day 1. Do not do as I did and apply three pumps immediately after a shower. It will STING! A tingle is expected but one pump is enough and should be used on a completely dry face. Week 1. Applied nightly. Skin purged. Very "angry" redness. Week 2. Applied twice a day. Very dry lips. This is not normal for me. Week 3. Applied twice a day. Purging has lessoned. Back to pre-treatment levels of redness/blotchiness. Week 4. Applied twice a day. Tentatively beginning to see some improvement. Week 5. Beginning to get to end of bottle and as more as difficult to "pump" a specific amount, I used too much and experienced very red/inflamed skin. Took a break for a couple of days. Week 6. Redness much diminished and skin much clearer/brighter. I only experienced "piling" when I put too much product on. I liked the consistency and it was fine under makeup. I bought this product primarily to treat rosacea on my cheeks. I was not expecting it to also deal with closed comedones on my forehead. This has been a bonus. I have now "graduated" to a product with a higher concentration but I'm glad I started out with this one to get my skin used to the active ingredient. ## Frequently Bought Together - Q+A Azelaic Acid Balancing Serum, Containing Pore Minimising Zinc PCA and Antioxidants for Fresher and Smoother Skin, 30ml - Q+A Zinc PCA Daily Moisturiser, Hydration and Oil Control with Zinc PCA & Ginseng, for Tackling Oily, Blemish-Prone, and Combination Skin, Ensures Essential Moisture Without Clogging Pores, 2.5 fl.oz - Q+A Zinc PCA Facial Serum - Reduces Pores & Blemishes, Balances Oily Skin, Anti-Aging with Reishi, Shiitake Mushrooms & Vegetable Collagen, Hydrating & Non-Drying Formula, 1fl.oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/403073099-q-a-azelaic-acid-balancing-serum-30ml-natural-face-serum](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/403073099-q-a-azelaic-acid-balancing-serum-30ml-natural-face-serum) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
