10% Azelaic Acid Booster

Has been great for their skin, alongside glycolic toner.

“The azelaic acid booster and 5 or 10% glycolic acid toner from Paula's Choice have both been great for my skin.”

Has used Paula's Choice azelaic acid for quite a while and finds it awesome.

“I’ve been using the azeliac acid for quite a while and it is awesome.”

Paula's Choice azelaic acid irritated them every time.

“I tried Paula’s choice but I think my skin disagreed with its formula (maybe the added salicylic acid?) Irritated me every single time”

Saw no changes with Paula's Choice azelaic acid and found prescription azelaic much more effective.

“I’ll also add I tried Paula’s Choice as well and saw no changes. It’s not strong enough.”

Three months into Paula's Choice azelaic acid for post-acne marks, they haven't noticed any change.

“i started using the paula’s choice one like 3 months-ish ago but i don’t know if it’s doing anything to my skin, i haven’t really noticed anything”

Paula's Choice azelaic acid broke them out badly, likely from the added salicylic acid.

“Paula's choice broke me out like crazy because it also has salicylic acid and my skin freaked with the combo.”

Had great results with the Paula's Choice AA booster before moving to prescription Finacea.

“I had great results with the Paula's Choice AA booster before switching to prescription strength Finacea a few months ago.”

On their 5th or 6th tube: their very reactive skin has improved a lot.

“I have crazy reactive sensitive skin and I’ve seen such improvement since using it and I’m on at least my 5th or 6th tube.”

Out of 10+ azelaic acids tried, this is their favourite: thin, non-sticky, absorbs quickly and doesn't irritate.

“There are lots of good ones, but Paula's Choice is my favorite. It is thin, non-sticky, absorbs quickly, and non-irritating.”

With mildly sensitive skin, eczema and rosacea, it didn't work for their redness.

“Paula's Choice's Azelaic acid was one of the first actives I tried for redness and I remember it just seemed it did not work with my skin.”

It pilled badly on them, as did The Ordinary azelaic acid.

“The ones I've tried (the ordinary and Paula's choice) both pilled badly on me”

Likes Paula's Choice azelaic acid but finds it more intense, with a thicker texture and salicylic acid, than Anua's.

“I’ve used both Anua’s AA amd Paula’s Choice- I love Anua and like Paula’s choice.”

Hated Paula's Choice azelaic acid: disliked the texture and it pilled under any sunscreen or moisturizer.

“I hated Paula’s Choice. Didn’t like the texture. And it pilled no matter what I put over it (spf or moisturizer).”

Has used Paula's Choice azelaic acid since 2018 and credits it with keeping hormonal breakouts away and improving texture on mature skin.

“I've been using the Paula's Choice AA since 2018! It's the one thing in my routine that I've never changed.”

Very happy with the results after a month and a half.

“I've been using Paula's Choice 10% for about a month and a half and I'm very happy with the results”

Part of the Paula's Choice routine that keeps their sensitive skin clearest.

“I currently use the BHA and the Azelaic Acid booster!”

Works very well on acne spots and dark marks with no purging; a thick cream that takes time to sink in.

“It’s working so well on my acne spots and I had no purging whatsoever.”

Part of the only routine that helps their perioral dermatitis.

“Spectro face wash, Paula's choice Azelaic Acid and lots of moisturizer is the only thing that helps mine.”

On sensitive, dry skin they tolerate Paula's Choice azelaic acid every morning and saw results quickly.

“I started using the Paula’s Choice AA every morning after trying a sample. I didn’t have a ton of redness, but I noticed results pretty quickly.”

Pregnant with brown skin and pregnancy acne and melasma, the Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster saved them when retinoids were off-limits.

“until I found the Paula's Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster. It truly saved my sanity.”

Uses Paula's Choice azelaic acid with no reaction, though it's a bit drying on their already dry skin.

“I use Paula’s Choice and have not had any reaction. It’s a bit drying on my skin and I already have dry skin but it’s manageable.”

Their skin didn't like the Paula's Choice azelaic acid booster, likely due to its salicylic acid.

“I tried PC booster but my skin was not happy with it. It also contains salicylic acid, so I’m assuming that’s what my skin didn’t like.”

Likes Paula's Choice azelaic acid's texture; it sits well under vitamin C, moisturizer, sunscreen and makeup.

“I have used both paulas choice & inkey list & like the texture of both.”

Started on Paula's Choice azelaic acid and went back to it after hating The Ordinary's oily texture.

“I started off with the Paula’s Choice AA and tried switching to TO a few months back and I did -not- like the texture.”

Paula's Choice azelaic acid worked like a dream for them, unlike The Ordinary's.

“the PC works like a dream and was my first step toward getting prescription strength Aza and tret.”

The salicylic acid in Paula's Choice azelaic acid broke them out every time, making their skin worse.

“Since this has SA in it, it caused me to breakout every time I used it.”

Rated 7/10: much nicer, hydrating, easy-to-spread texture.

“Paula’s Choice Azelaic acid booster: 7/10 the texture is so much nicer. Hydrating, easy to spread.”

Revolutionized their skin-tone evenness; red cheek patches improved.

“I love this stuff—it has completely revolutionized the evenness of my skin tone. I used to have red patches on my cheeks that got much better over time using this.”

Brief purge, then their skin has never looked better.

“I started using Paula's choice azelaic acid maybe two weeks ago. My skin purged a bit during the first week but then started clearing up and my skin has never looked better.”
