BOOST 10% Azelaic Acid Booster Cream Gel Face Serum with Salicylic Acid, Minimizes Look of Redness & Fades Discoloration, Oil-Free Skin Brightening Serum for Face, Fragrance-Free

I question why I didn’t get this product sooner in my life. Seriously. This product has made such a positive change in my skin - I feel like crying. While I have never been officially diagnosed, I’ve always felt that I have a type of rosacea. I don’t get pustules, zits or anything like that (unless I consume a lot of certain sugary drinks, and food) but for as long as I can remember, my face has always dealt with redness. Yes, certain things such as consuming sugar triggers it and makes it worse. I’ve been using skincare since my mid 20s. I am currently in my early 30s. I feel for the most part I was using products that were benefiting my skin, but as far as the redness went, nothing I used seemed to treat it. Around a year ago, I heard about how azelaic acid can be beneficial to people who have rosacea - treating redness and the pustules that go with it. So while I was aware of it, I just kept putting off purchasing it. Life stuff always coming up. After talking with ChatGPT about how sick I was about always walking around with a red/pink face, it recommended azelaic acid. Specifically Paula’s Choice. Now we all know that with a lot of skin care products it can take time to see differences. No lie… I began seeing results from this within just under two weeks or so. The redness in my face has decreased A LOT. I am now at a point in my life where I feel more comfortable going out without having to wear foundation or using something like Cicapair by Dr. Jart+ (which by the way is great at covering the redness). I am extremely pale, so dealing with a face that was red almost constantly - I felt that the difference between my face and body were so dramatically different, it made me self-conscious. But now? I am much more confident. The redness isn’t completely gone, but when I say it has been dramatically reduced, I mean it! My skin also has this type of glow that I’ve never experienced with other products - not even my tretinoin. I use this product every other day. I have several products I use for my skin and I cycle through them every other day. When I do apply this, like with every other skin care product, I always mist my skin lightly with water. Yes, doing this increases the potency of products but for my skin, I can tolerate it just fine. I also feel that by dampening your skin, the product spread, spreads a lot more evenly and easily. While this is priced at $39 and being only 1 ounce, I know it sounds expensive. But I will say that a little goes a LONG way. You don’t need to be using globs of this stuff. Also, I feel you can get away with using this every other day, like myself, so it can last longer. Everyone’s skin is different. Like I said, I’ve never been officially diagnosed, but based on what I’ve experienced and what I’ve read, I truly do feel I have some form of rosacea. I also have certain triggers that make it worse; such as consuming certain types of sugary drinks. So I feel that if you identify your specific triggers, use this product… you should see a definite difference. Wish I had gotten this product sooner! I absolutely love it.

I absolutely love this product! Paula’s Choice Azelaic Acid is honestly one of the best skincare products I’ve tried. With consistent use, I’ve noticed a visible reduction in dark marks and my skin looks much more even. It has also helped reduce new breakouts, which was a big struggle for me. The key is to be consistent, but once you are, the results are definitely worth it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has been dealing with acne for a long time and feels like they’ve tried everything. This product really made a difference for me.

This has been a game-changer for my skin! I started using it to help with redness, uneven texture, and occasional breakouts, and it’s worked beautifully. My skin feels calmer, smoother, and looks brighter overall. The formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel. I also like that it’s fragrance-free, so it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. I use it a few times a week layered with my moisturizer, and I’ve noticed steady improvements without any irritation. It is a little pricey for the size, but because a small amount goes a long way, one tube lasts longer than expected. Definitely worth it if you’re dealing with redness or stubborn uneven spots!

It is with a heavy heart that I regrettably inform you that this is absolutely worth the price. Yes, it is expensive for the little tube you get, but it has lasted me a couple of months using it both day and night. This might be one of the only products I've ever used that doesn't give me sensory issues. I put it on and don't get a moment of stickiness or a wet feeling like I do with serum options. It doesn't irritate me. I even LIKE putting it on. I've used other azelaic acid serums, TXA, and I have a permanent retinoid in my routine. Adding this has been very effective at reducing a lot of the PIE (red hyperpigmentation) I've had leftover from acne since I was a teenager. It's not hydrating, it's not going to do everything— it does one thing, and it does that one thing very well.

While a little pricy, its worth it. I am a natural redhead and have had 6 children. I am not 45 and I have melasma really bad. It has gone from just my forehead to my cheeks now. I ordered this and have been using it for about a week and the color has already faded 2 shades. I feel more confident without makeup, my skin feels amazing. After it has completely soaked in and dried, I follow it up with a very thin layer of pure MCT coconut oil. Very much worth the price.

I’m rating this for the size. It says travel size but i feel like it’s the size you get when you get a freebie. Sadly, it’s too small that I’ll probably be using it 2x or 3x at most. Be wary of the label “travel size”.

I’ve been using this Paula’s Choice Azelaic Acid as part of my skincare routine for acne and dark spots, and I really like it. It has a lightweight gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave my skin greasy. I mainly use it to help with post-acne marks and redness, and with consistent use, my skin looks more even and smoother. It hasn’t caused strong irritation — just a slight tingling feeling that goes away quickly. I like that it also contains salicylic acid and licorice extract, which help target breakouts and gradually brighten the skin. ✔️ Lightweight texture ✔️ Not greasy ✔️ Helps with dark spots and redness ✔️ Good for acne-prone skin I recommend using it consistently and always with sunscreen.

For those who don’t want to read my whole review it basically helped my acne scars go away while postpartum and breastfeeding. My skin is sensitive and this hasn’t bothered my skin one bit! There’s no stickiness to it, it’s like a cream. I do have dry skin and once the product is on it makes it bit dry but I go in immediately with the la roch posay cicaplast or a good moisturizer. The product itself melts down as soon as you rub it into the skin so it’s not thick or oily. It’s helped my hyperpigmentation and acne scars! I’m breastfeeding so I can’t use a retinal so I turned to azelaic acid and it’s been the best choice. In the images that I provided show my acne scars that I once had. This is the only product I use besides moisturizer cleanser and sunscreen. So it’s definitely the product that has helped me.

It is perfect for the acné

كل الشكر والتقدير لكم لتجاوبكم وأقدر إهتمامكم

My doctor recommended

Perfect for my skin !

Works very well. Easy to use with one application, where other products require you to apply 2-3 different products with 5 minute waiting between applications.
