VT Azelaic Acid Care Capsule Cream is a dual-texture gel moisturizer designed to support blemish-prone, oily, and combination skin affected by visible redness, excess sebum, clogged pores, and uneven texture. Formulated with Azelaic Acid, an AHA-BHA-PHA-LHA complex, Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica ingredients, Tea Tree ingredients, Beta-Glucan, Panthenol, twenty Amino Acids, and nine Peptides, it combines targeted pore care with soothing hydration and moisture-barrier support.

Benefits:

• Supports clearer-looking skin: Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid, and Tea Tree ingredients help improve the appearance of blemishes, congestion, and post-breakout redness.
• Helps balance excess oil: Niacinamide, Azelaic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid support a less oily-looking complexion.
• Refines clogged pores: A combination of AHA, BHA, PHA, and LHA helps remove dull surface buildup and improve the appearance of congested pores.
• Smooths uneven texture: Glycolic Acid, Lactobionic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid help rough or bumpy-looking skin appear more refined.
• Soothes visible redness: Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Beta-Glucan, and Panthenol help calm stressed-looking skin.
• Supports the moisture barrier: Squalane, Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Panthenol, Amino Acids, and Peptides help reduce moisture loss.
• Provides balanced hydration: Glycerin, Glycereth-26, Butylene Glycol, Glyceryl Glucoside, Beta-Glucan, and emollients help maintain moisture without relying on a heavy occlusive finish alone.
• Improves the appearance of post-blemish marks: Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid help support a clearer, more even-looking skin tone with consistent use.
• Supports smoother, firmer-looking skin: Adenosine and nine Peptides help soften the appearance of fine lines and improve visible resilience.

Skin Types: Combination • Oily • Blemish-prone • Congested • Normal • Dehydrated skin that tolerates exfoliating acids
Skin Concerns: Breakouts • Clogged pores • Excess sebum • Visible redness • Post-blemish marks • Uneven texture • Roughness • Weakened moisture barrier

Formula Notes:

• Azelaic Acid is listed in the supplied INCI, but its exact concentration is not provided.
• The four-acid complex is represented by Glycolic Acid as an AHA, Salicylic Acid as a BHA, Lactobionic Acid as a PHA, and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid as an LHA.
• The concentrations of the individual exfoliating acids are not supplied.
• Contains nine clearly named Peptides: Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-11, Hexapeptide-9, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5.
• The supplied description refers to Cica Exosomes. Centella Asiatica Extract and several isolated Centella components are listed, but no ingredient is explicitly identified as an exosome in the supplied INCI.
• The presence, concentration, size, and delivery behaviour of any exosome complex cannot be confirmed from the ingredient list alone.

• Although described as a lightweight gel cream, the formula also contains Shea Butter, Squalane, Jojoba Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Olive Fruit Oil, fatty alcohols, and emollients. Very oily skin should begin with a small amount.
• This cosmetic cream can support blemish-prone skin but is not a medical treatment for acne, rosacea, folliculitis, or persistent inflammation.
• Because it combines several exfoliating acids with Azelaic Acid and aromatic Tea Tree components, sensitive skin should introduce it gradually.

8. Avoid applying immediately after shaving, waxing, or using abrasive scrubs.
9. Do not combine with multiple strong exfoliants or retinoids in the same routine when starting.
10. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning and reapply during prolonged sun exposure.

Q: Can I use it with Vitamin C?
A: Yes, but sensitive skin may prefer Vitamin C in the morning and this capsule cream in the evening.

A: Avoid applying it immediately afterward because Azelaic Acid, exfoliating acids, and Tea Tree components may sting sensitized skin.
