Medicube Azelaic Acid 16 BB Calming Serum - 30ml

The Medicube Azelaic Acid 16 BB Calming Serum delivers 16% Azelaic Acid in a multi-benefit formula that simultaneously targets acne, redness, and uneven pigmentation. Azelaic Acid is a naturally derived dicarboxylic acid with both antibacterial and melanin-inhibiting properties, making it one of the few ingredients clinically recognised for treating acne and hyperpigmentation in a single application.

At 16% concentration, this serum delivers a prescription-adjacent dose of Azelaic Acid in an over-the-counter format. It works by inhibiting the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne, reducing the keratin plugs that block pores, calming the inflammatory response that leads to persistent redness and post-acne marks, and brightening the discolouration left after blemishes heal.

The BB designation refers to the formula's secondary function of providing sheer, skin-tone-unifying coverage that evens out visible redness and blemish marks during wear. This dual active-and-coverage approach makes it particularly practical for daytime use, allowing the serum to treat the skin while also improving its immediate appearance.

Azelaic Acid is one of the safest actives available for pregnant or breastfeeding women and for those with Rosacea, perioral dermatitis, or severe sensitivity. This formula has been clinically tested and confirmed suitable for even the most reactive skin types.

How to Use

Apply a small amount to cleansed, toned skin after essence. It can be used morning and evening, though morning application takes advantage of the tone-evening coverage. Follow with SPF during the day.
