Geek & Gorgeous aPAD Serum 101 30ml

Azelaic Acid is a 3-in-1 clinically proven active that helps reduce blemishes, pigmentation and redness. This formula uses a new-generation water-soluble form called Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD) that has similar properties to Azelaic Acid but enables a super-light, oil-free texture. The two strong points of PAD are to even the skin tone and to control excessive oiliness.

who is it for?

aPAD is ideal if you are looking for an Azelaic Acid product that is also light in texture and layers well with other products. It is an all-skin type formula that we especially recommend if you have pigmentation, extra oiliness or redness (rosacea).

key ingredients:

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate - A new generation Azelaic Acid derivative designed to be water-soluble and thus enable light formulas. It has a similar effect to the 3-in-1 clinical active Azelaic Acid that helps to normalize oil production, evening the skin tone, reducing blemishes, pigmentation and redness. A few studies are using PAD already: two used it for the management of rosacea here and here, and another one used it for the management of melasma.  

Allantoin - A classic skincare ingredient known for its skin soothing & skin protecting abilities.

Glycerin & Methyl-Gluceth 20 - A gentle humectant combination to help the skin to hold onto water.
