Please Note: We now offer our NEW Formula Azeloyl Glycine 8% Serum and our OLD Formula Azelaic Acid 8% Serum. Please note this when purchasing and make sure you choose the right one from the dropdown menu.
The Azelaic [OLD] version may have a grainy texture, but this is common and it does not alter its efficiency! This is normal and many companies deal with this.
Please Note: If you have not tried these before, please make sure to try a sample size as we don't want you to waste your hard earned money. It's important to make sure your skin is not reactive with these (or any) serums.
We have combined the powerhouse Azeloyl Glycine with Liposomes and Allantoin for effective acne and rosacea control. Azeloyl Glycine is anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and has benefits for brightening skin and helping to diminish pigmentation by inhibiting melanin production. It is more gentle, yet known for being more effective than Azelaic Acid. This product is also effective for Keratosis Pilaris.
Method of Application Apply as needed during the treatment phase of your routine.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of humidity, heat, direct light and in a dark cabinet when possible:
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark:
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate,sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally, you can refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out, warm it up at room temperature and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. There are some oils with a super long shelf life, like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil.
Refrigeration is not necessary, but it surely won't hurt:
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - all herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - these are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herbs - root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator or a dark place. Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
Great serum, simple ingredients but effective results.
I like this serum a lot simply because it works and it's quite light and fluid. I love all of GOW's products simply because they work as intended and there is no unnecessary ingredients, unlike other companies who put miscellaneous stuff in their ingredients which could cause obscure damage, GOW keeps it simple while also giving you reasons WHY the product will work and (after a week or 2) great results. I am eager for GOW to make more brightening products.
Thank you so much for the review!

Love this product
I had never heard of Azelaic acid before purchasing this product. I like the new version best. I love that it helps with redness, acne, and seems to even out my skin tone. It is gentle yet very effective. It definitely is one of my favorite products!
Thank you so much! :)

results within weeks
I bought the NEW Azeloyl Glycine 8% sample less than a month ago & just purchased the 1 oz. bottle. I struggle with sensitivity, acne, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). It truly is a game-changer. The hyperpigmentation around my mouth & along my cheeks and jawline has finally started to fade. Overall, my skin is just smoother and healthier looking than it's been in a long time. I'm so grateful for this product!
We're so pleased you are having these results!
Thank you for your review!

Gentle, yet effective!
This serum has helped my minor type 2 rosacea pustules and redness, lingering texture issues and helped fade my keratosis pilaris (on my arms). I have been using this serum for 2.5 months so far and have noticed an improvement to my overall state of my skin! I did not experience purging and if I did, it was very minor and went away within a week. This serum also didn't make me itchy or give me a burning sensation, but I imagine this may be due to the low percentage. The serum consistency can pill slightly, but it did not bother me enough to discontinue. However, for more stubborn closed comedones that I have on my cheeks, you may need to either pair this with tret (or alternate nightly with another exfoliating AHA/BHA), so that they can budge. I will be repurchasing a second bottle, as I am liking the benefits I get from it so far! Thank you!!!
We're so glad the Azelaic Acid Serum is helping your Rosacea! Let us know if you need further help with your rosacea. We specialize in this :)
Side note: We don't suggest using Tretinoin, Retinols or AHA/BHA with Rosacea. Email us to find out more!
