TirTir Azelaic Acid 12% Serum is a targeted treatment from Korean cosmetics brand TirTir designed to calm redness, fight breakouts and refine uneven texture. Powered by 12% azelaic acid with Zinc PCA and panthenol, it helps clear acne-prone skin while keeping the moisture barrier comfortable and hydrated.

Benefits:

• Targets breakouts & red marks: 12% azelaic acid helps unclog pores, smooth rough texture and visibly reduce post-acne marks without feeling harsh or stripping.
• Redness & irritation relief: Anti-inflammatory azelaic acid combined with panthenol and soothing sugars helps calm visible redness and support reactive, easily flushed skin.
• Balances oil without over-drying: Zinc PCA helps regulate excess sebum so shine, congestion and T-zone oiliness are better controlled over time.
• Hydrating, barrier-friendly formula: Betaine, sugarcane extract and sorbitol replenish moisture to keep dehydrated, oily skin soft instead of tight.
• Fast-absorbing, non-greasy texture: Lightweight serum sinks in quickly and layers well under the rest of your routine, perfect for daily use on acne-prone skin.
• Ideal for recurring blemishes: Designed for skin dealing with frequent breakouts, visible red spots and a fragile moisture barrier.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing and toner, apply a small amount of TirTir Azelaic Acid 12% Serum to the entire face or directly onto areas with breakouts, redness or uneven tone, avoiding the eye and lip area.
2. Gently pat until absorbed, then follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.
3. Use once a day in the evening to start; if your skin tolerates it well, you can increase to twice daily. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF during the day when using azelaic acid and other active ingredients.

FAQ:

Q: Is TirTir Azelaic Acid 12% Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Yes, the formula combines azelaic acid with panthenol, Zinc PCA and hydrating sugars to target redness and breakouts while supporting the barrier. If your skin is very sensitive, start with use 2–3 times a week and gradually increase as tolerated.

Q: Can I use this serum with other active ingredients like niacinamide or vitamin C?
A: Azelaic acid generally pairs well with niacinamide and hydrating serums. If you use strong acids or potent vitamin C, introduce them in separate routines (e.g., alternate days or use one in the morning and this serum at night) to avoid overloading the skin.

Q: Will this serum dry out my skin?

A: No, it’s designed for oily and dehydrated skin and contains panthenol, betaine and sugarcane extract to maintain hydration. If you feel any dryness, pair it with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer.

Q: How long until I see results on redness and spots?

A: Many people notice softer redness and a calmer look within a few weeks, while texture and post-acne marks improve gradually with consistent daily use. As with all Korean cosmetics treatments, results depend on your skin type and routine.

Q: Can I use this serum during the day?

A: Yes, you can use it in the morning as long as you follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Azelaic acid can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so daily SPF is essential when using this type of treatment.
