Anua - Azelaic Acid Cica Skin Soothing Moisturizer, 100ml

Anua's Azelaic Acid 3 Cica Skin Clarifying Toner is a gentle, soothing exfoliating toner designed to refine skin texture, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and improve skin clarity without irritating the skin. Formulated with 3% azelaic acid and soothing Cica (Centella Asiatica), it helps balance oil production, minimize redness, and promote a clearer, smoother complexion.

This lightweight toner helps remove residual impurities after cleansing while preparing the skin for better absorption of serums and creams. Regular use leaves skin calmer, more even-toned, and visibly refreshed, making it an ideal daily toner for sensitive, acne-prone, or uneven skin.

🌿 Key Ingredients

• Azelaic Acid (3%) — A multitasking acid that gently exfoliates, unclogs pores, fades post-acne hyperpigmentation, and reduces redness — all without harsh irritation.
• Cica (Centella Asiatica) — A beloved Korean skincare staple known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties, ideal for calming breakouts and soothing reactive skin.
• Madecassoside — A key active from Centella that accelerates skin healing, reduces redness, and strengthens the skin barrier.
• Niacinamide — Brightens skin tone, minimizes pores, and regulates sebum production for a balanced, refined complexion.
• Soothing Botanical Extracts — A blend of calming plant actives that work synergistically to reduce inflammation and support long-term skin clarity.

💡 Tips

• If new to azelaic acid, start with evening use only and introduce morning use gradually.
• Always follow with SPF in the morning — azelaic acid can increase sun sensitivity.
• Ideal for targeting post-acne dark spots and uneven skin tone with consistent daily use.
• Avoid layering with other strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) in the same routine to prevent over-exfoliation.
• Pairs well with a gentle, barrier-supporting moisturizer to keep skin balanced and comfortable.
