And why we love VT Cosmetic’s gentle take on it.
If your skin gets reactive from strong actives like glycolic or salicylic acid, it’s time to meet a gentler multitasker: azelaic acid. Loved for its ability to calm inflammation, clear pores, fade pigmentation, and improve texture - all without disrupting your skin barrier. Best of all, azelaic acid doesn’t increase sun sensitivity, making it safe for daily use, all year round.
Why Azelaic Acid Works
Azelaic acid is naturally antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and lightly exfoliating. It helps to:
Unclog pores and reduce breakouts, whiteheads and acne-causing bacteria
Fade pigmentation and post-acne marks
Soothe redness and calm sensitive skin
Improve texture without irritation or dryness
It’s ideal for acne-prone, sensitive, or easily congested skin and one of the most well-tolerated actives out there.
Introducing the VT Cosmetics AZ Care Line
VT Cosmetics has taken this gentle hero ingredient and paired it with K-beauty’s favourite soothers like Cica Exosome, Vitamin B5, and gentle exfoliants like LHA. The result? A gentle calming three-step solution for clearer, smoother skin.
A non-greasy oil that removes makeup and excess sebum while clearing congestion. Powered by azelaic acid and a 4-acid complex (AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA), it exfoliates and refines without stripping.
Dual-sided pads soaked in azelaic acid and cica exosome. Use post-cleanse to balance oil, smooth texture, and calm redness—perfect for breakout-prone and bumpy skin
This concentrated yet featherlight serum targets redness, post-acne marks, and uneven tone. With azelaic acid and cica exosome, it soothes while visibly refining skin over time.
The Takeaway:
Together, these products offer a well-rounded approach to pore care, brightening, and calming with minimal irritation. If you’ve been searching for a way to treat breakouts and uneven tone without harsh actives, VT’s azelaic acid line is a gentle reset. And as always, we’ve tested them ourselves.
Your skin (and barrier) will thank you.
