Garden of Wisdom's Azeloyl Glycine 8% Serum is formulated to be a gentle yet powerful serum that supports acne and rosacea-prone skin by combining Azeloyl Glycine, Liposomes, and Allantoin, each chosen for its unique ability to soothe, clarify, and brighten.
Azeloyl Glycine (Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate) is a next-generation derivative of Azelaic Acid. It offers all the benefits, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pigmentation-fighting, without irritation. Inhibiting tyrosinase helps reduce melanin production, making it effective in fading dark spots and evening out skin tone.
To enhance delivery and skin compatibility, we use Liposomes, which encapsulate active ingredients to boost penetration and ensure they reach deeper layers of the skin more effectively.
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 to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil 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. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it 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 <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.
Shipping Transit Note: Some customers have asked whether products can be affected by time in transit, especially during warmer months. Our products are formulated and preserved to remain stable during normal shipping times and should not spoil simply from being in transit.
That said, if you are concerned about heat exposure, you are welcome to add an ice pack to your order for extra peace of mind. Click here to add an ice pack.

I love this product. I tried several other brands and the other formulation and this is the one that does not cause irritation to my sensitive skin. The texture is great! Glides on with no grainy-ness!
Finding a comfortable fit for sensitive skin can take some trial and error, so we’re especially happy this one suits yours! We love hearing that you’re enjoying the smooth glide, too. Thanks for trying our Azeloyl Glycine Serum and sharing your experience!

Works great for acne
This actually worked for calming down my acne without aggravating my skin! I even use it as a spot treatment sometimes and can see the spot visibly decrease. Highly recommend!

Fast results!
I deliberated over trying this product for ages and I’m so glad I did. My skin flares bright red from AHA and BHA products so I wanted to try azelaic acid. I have MCAS and had to pitch almost every product in my cabinet due to reactions, only tolerating oils and beeswax products for most of the past decade. My poor skin was clogged with cystic acne, had constant redness on my cheeks, uneven tone, and just an overall dull look. In less than two weeks with this, my skin is looking much more even, less textured, less red with overall more glow/better clarity, and my acne has mostly dried up after a little purging. It has a mild neutral scent that doesn’t bother my extremely sensitive sinuses.
This formulation appealed to me because it is so simple and non-toxic. I really like the product’s texture and it has very nice slip that makes application satisfying. It’s easy to apply and dries quickly so you can apply a moisturizer over without waiting long.
If my skin has improved this much in less than two weeks, I can’t wait to see what long term use will do!

Wound Healing Oil
I have a scar that is a year old. After using a silicone scar cream for a whole year, it was still burning, itchy, raised and red. I started applying Wound Healing Oil twice a day. Within a few days, the itching and burning was under control. It's been 5 months now and the redness has subsided and the scar is starting to flatten. It's a slow process, but it's working.

Miles,
I LOL when I read this because I thought of Dolly Parton's 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas', the movie. Aside from the laugh, thank you for the wonderful review.
I absolutely adore this balm as well.
Markey 🤠
this cleanser didn't work for me, but i give it 4 stars because it seems to be a well formulated product that most skin types would like. i have extremely sensitive skin, eczema and rosacea, and i find if i use it more than two or three times a week i get kind of pink and blotchy. the cleanser has a lovely slippery texture, spreads and rinses very easily. it is quite concentrated so it should last a good while. it has a nice grainy, oaty scent that some people may not like (the aroma doesn't linger). here is a handy tip-if you are annoyed by the label getting wet and sticky when you touch it, try covering it with a few coats of clear nail polish, it really helps!
Hi Donna, thank you for sharing your detailed experience. We're glad you appreciated the formulation and texture, and we appreciate your tip about protecting the label.
Sorry to hear it isn't ideal for your sensitive skin, but your feedback will be taken back to
our next meeting for discussion. 🧐 Nail Polish is a great idea! Our labels are 'water-resistant' but not waterproof.
Thanks for your support!
Your GoW Team ❤️
Hi D R
Thank you for your kind review.
I am always such a goober about oils, and I wanted to mention that oils don't offer hydration
just conditioning, etc., although they are excellent to add after a hydration step in your routine to hold the moisture to the skin.
Wishing you all the best in your skincare journey.
Markey 🌸🌸🌸
Hi DR,
Thank you for your feedback.
Squalane is so popular, so your experience will help others decide whether it is the right choice for their skin.
