Review

Results you may expect from using Aroma-Zone Serum Concentre Acide Azelaique 10%:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Aroma-Zone Serum Concentre Acide Azelaique 10%:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.2 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Aroma-Zone Serum Concentre Acide Azelaique 10% contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Aroma-Zone Serum Concentre Acide Azelaique 10% has a moisturizing rating of 4.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a very high humectancy of 8.3 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Pentylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%) and Propanediol (est. ≈3.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Aroma-Zone Serum Concentre Acide Azelaique 10% is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Azelaic Acid (est. ≈10.0%) and Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.

Azelaic Acid
