Centellian24 Madeca Azelaic Acid 10+ Calming Serum is a lightweight clarifying serum designed for sensitive, oily, and blemish-prone skin. Combining Azelaic Acid with Niacinamide, Succinic Acid, Gluconolactone, Salicylic Acid, Zinc PCA, Panthenol, and Centella-derived TECA ingredients, it helps improve the appearance of redness, post-blemish marks, excess oil, visible pores, and uneven texture while supporting a calmer, more balanced-looking complexion.

Benefits:

• Improves post-blemish marks: Azelaic Acid, Niacinamide, Gluconolactone, and exfoliating acids help reduce the visible appearance of uneven tone and discoloration.
• Supports blemish-prone skin: Azelaic Acid, Succinic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Zinc PCA, and 4-Terpineol help maintain clearer-looking skin and reduce excess-oil buildup.
• Helps calm visible redness: Panthenol, Allantoin, Beta-Glucan, Centella-derived ingredients, Aloe Leaf Water, and soothing botanical extracts support skin comfort.
• Balances excess sebum: Zinc PCA, Niacinamide, Azelaic Acid, Succinic Acid, and Pantothenic Acid help reduce greasy shine and promote a balanced-looking finish.
• Gently refines rough texture: Gluconolactone, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid, and Phytic Acid help remove dull surface buildup and smooth uneven-looking skin.
• Supports clearer-looking pores: Sebum-balancing and exfoliating ingredients help pores appear cleaner and more refined.
• Provides lightweight hydration: Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Xylitol, Erythritol, Panthenol, and Beta-Glucan help maintain moisture without a heavy finish.
• Fresh, comfortable texture: The watery serum absorbs quickly and is designed to leave a soft, less-greasy finish.
