KisoCare Azelaic Acid for Face 15% Serum Niacinamide Vitamin C BALANCING ESSENCE AZ 1 Fl Oz MADE IN JAPAN

I’ve been using this serum for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed. The 15% azelaic acid feels strong enough to make a difference but still gentle on my sensitive skin — no stinging or irritation. The combination with niacinamide and vitamin C makes this a powerhouse for dullness and uneven texture. I’ve noticed less redness around my nose and chin, and my skin looks a bit more even and calm overall. The texture of the serum is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and layers nicely with my moisturizer and sunscreen. A little goes a long way, and the fact that it’s made in Japan and fragrance-free makes me feel even better about the quality. If you’re looking for something to help with tone, brightness, and balancing oil without being too harsh, this is a great option.

This is an amazing product that helps calm my rosacea prone skin. It also goes on super smooth, dries quickly, and leaves no greasy residue. I'm also prone to acne when applying different products to my face. This is one of the best for not causing acne while still taking care of my rosacea.

The KisoCare Azelaic Acid 15 Percent Serum has a lot going for it, but my experience ended up being pretty mixed. I was excited to try it because azelaic acid usually works well for me, and the combination with niacinamide and vitamin C sounded promising. The first night I used it, my skin actually looked smoother the next morning, almost like it had a gentle blurring effect. I remember thinking, “Okay, this might be a new favorite.” But things didn’t stay that predictable. On some days, it helped calm redness and made my skin tone look more even. On other days, it left my face feeling a little dry and tight, even with moisturizer. One time I applied it after a long day in the sun, and my skin got slightly irritated which surprised me because azelaic acid is usually pretty forgiving. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly. It layers well with other products, and I appreciate that it’s made in Japan since the quality control tends to be excellent. It has a clean feel and no overpowering scent which is a plus. The main issue is consistency. Some weeks it felt like it was helping with bumps and dullness, and other weeks it barely seemed to do anything. Not bad, just not amazing. If you have sensitive skin, you might need to introduce it slowly because the 15 percent strength can feel strong on certain days. Overall, it’s an okay serum that delivers moderate results, but it didn’t become a must have in my routine. It works, but only on its own schedule.

This has been my fourth bottle. It does not give me acne and it is fast drying as well. Unfortunately it runs out quickly too. Will be purchasing again of course.

I started using an azelaic acid serum after my aesthetician recommended it for my sensitive, rosacea-prone skin, and I’m so glad I did! This product has been a game-changer for my skincare routine. First, it makes my face incredibly smooth. After just a few weeks of consistent use, I noticed an improvement in both texture and overall skin tone. My complexion looks more even, and those rough patches I used to deal with are gone. What I love most is that it’s non-greasy and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated but never oily or weighed down. It’s lightweight enough to use under makeup without any issues. Plus, it doesn’t irritate or inflame my rosacea—something I’ve struggled with when trying other products. Instead, it feels calming and soothing on my skin. If you have sensitive skin or rosacea and are looking for something effective yet gentle, I can’t recommend an azelaic acid serum enough. It’s been a true skincare savior for me!

Excellent product. I was previously using an expensive prescription cream. I find this product to be effective not just for treating pustules, pimples/zits, but it also addresses and calms the redness associated with rosacea. I have bought several times and plan to subscribe. Works well under screen as well. Just give it a few minutes to dry on your face before applying sunscreen.
