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 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 (except for our 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 - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it into a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier 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 from each herb—root, trunk, leaves, and flowers. Extracts have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator (or a dark DRY place) Other Raw Ingredients - i.e., Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc. will all have a different shelf life.
