Made in Japan | Maximum Strength 20% Azelaic Acid | Dermatologist-Inspired Formula
Who Is This For?
Designed for those with persistently rough, congested, or oily skin who are ready for maximum-strength azelaic acid.
The 20% concentration delivers stronger sebum control and faster texture refinement — ideal for experienced users
or those stepping up from the 15% formula.
PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
High Concentration 20% Azelaic Acid Cream.
Designed for skin with recurring roughness and texture issues. Delivers smooth, trouble-free skin.
PRODUCT DETAILS
Focus on "Sebum Troubles" and "Roughness"
Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid found in grains like wheat and rye. It has been used worldwide for skincare and is known for its ability to smooth skin texture and prevent roughness.
Key Features:
- Maximum Strength 20%: The highest concentration in our azelaic acid lineup — formulated for stubborn skin texture and persistent oiliness.
- Balancing Care: Helps balance sebum and moisture levels for a clear complexion.
- Smooth Texture: A slightly thicker formula that leaves your skin feeling silky and hydrated without stickiness.
- 7 Types of Organic Extracts: Contains Licorice, Scutellaria, Centella Asiatica, Rosemary, Chamomile, Tea Leaf, and Knotweed extracts to soothe and protect.
WHAT TO EXPECT — RESULTS TIMELINE
- Week 1–2: Skin texture begins to refine; sebum production visibly reduces.
- Week 3–4: Bumpy texture and uneven tone noticeably improve; pores appear tighter.
- Week 5–6: Significantly clearer, smoother skin with balanced oil levels and reduced congestion.
WHY KISOCARE AZELAIC ACID?
- Manufactured in Japan under strict quality standards
- No parabens, synthetic fragrance, or mineral oil
- Suitable for morning and night — versatile daily-use formula
- Pairs well with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serums
- Not tested on animals (cruelty-free)
HOW IT WORKS
This cream penetrates deep into the stratum corneum, working directly against the effects of environmental stress and aging, leading to firm, lustrous, clear, and flawless skin.
Directions for Use
After washing and applying lotion, apply an amount about the size of a pearl to areas of concern or your entire face.
Suitable for both morning and night skin care. *If using in the morning, be sure to apply sunscreen afterwards as Azelaic Acid can increase sun sensitivity.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is 20% too strong for my skin?
A: The 20% formula is recommended for those who have already used azelaic acid or have resilient skin. If you are new to azelaic acid, we recommend starting with our 15% cream first.
Q: How is this different from the 15% version?
A: The 20% delivers stronger and faster results for stubborn texture and sebum issues. The 15% is gentler and suited for beginners or sensitive skin types.
Q: Can I use this with other actives?
A: Yes. Azelaic acid pairs well with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and gentle exfoliants. Avoid using alongside strong retinols in the same routine.
Q: How long until I see results?
A: Users typically notice visible improvements in texture and tone within 3–5 weeks of consistent use — slightly faster than the 15% formula.
