Values You Can Trust: Cruelty-Free (PETA Certified) • Halal-Friendly* • 100% Authentic Guarantee

Dealing with persistent breakouts, stubborn dark spots, and frustrating redness can feel like a constant battle, especially in a warm climate. This multi-tasking serum offers a gentle yet powerful solution. Formulated with 10% Azelaic Acid, a dermatologist-recommended ingredient, it works to calm inflammation, reduce acne-causing bacteria, and gently fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Enhanced with Niacinamide and soothing Centella Asiatica, this lightweight formula helps control sebum, refine pore appearance, and strengthen your skin's barrier without causing harsh irritation, making it a perfect choice for achieving a clearer, more even-toned complexion in Mauritius.

• Who It's For: Ideal for those with oily, combination, acne-prone, or sensitive skin. Especially effective for managing redness, rosacea-like symptoms, and post-acne marks (PIH).
• What It Does: Calms inflammation, reduces breakouts, gently exfoliates to unclog pores, and visibly fades dark spots and redness for a more even complexion.
• Texture & Feel: A lightweight, slightly viscous serum that absorbs without feeling sticky or heavy, leaving a natural, comfortable finish.
• Key Results: With consistent use, expect a reduction in active breakouts and inflammation within 2-4 weeks. Visible improvement in dark spots and overall skin tone can be seen from 4-8 weeks onwards.

1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle face wash to create a clean base.
2. Treat with NINELESS Serum: Apply 2-3 drops to your face, patting gently until absorbed. See "How to Use" for more detail.
3. Protect or Moisturise: In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. In the evening, apply your favourite moisturiser to lock in the serum.

Mindful Tip: Already own a similar serum? Finish that first to avoid waste before introducing this one into your routine.

An AM routine with Azelaic Acid focuses on calming inflammation and protecting against environmental triggers that can worsen redness and pigmentation.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanse: Use a gentle, low-pH cleanser.
2. NINELESS A-Control Serum: Apply 2-3 drops to dry skin to reduce daytime redness and control oil.
3. Sunscreen: Finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). This is non-negotiable, as Azelaic Acid can make skin slightly more sun-sensitive and sun exposure will darken spots.

Optional Additions:

• Hydrating Toner: Apply before the serum if your skin feels tight or dehydrated.
• Moisturiser: Apply after the serum but before sunscreen if your skin is dry or you are often in air-conditioned environments.

A PM routine allows the serum's active ingredients to work overnight during your skin's natural repair cycle.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. NINELESS A-Control Serum: Apply 2-3 drops to target acne, texture, and pigmentation while you sleep.
3. Moisturiser: Apply a suitable moisturiser to lock in hydration and support your skin barrier.

Optional Additions:

• Hydrating Essence: Apply after cleansing and before the serum for an extra layer of moisture.
• Sleeping Mask: Use 2-3 times a week as the final step to seal everything in if you have very dry or dehydrated skin.

Important: If you use a strong retinoid, alternate nights. Do not use this serum on the same night as other strong chemical exfoliants (like high-concentration AHA/BHA peels) when first starting out.

• Amount: Use 2-3 drops for the entire face. A little goes a long way.
• Frequency: If you're new to Azelaic Acid, start by using it once daily in the evening, 3-4 times per week. After two weeks, if your skin is tolerating it well, you can increase to daily use. It can be used in both the morning (AM) and evening (PM) routines once your skin is accustomed to it.
• How to Apply: After cleansing and toning, apply the serum to dry skin. Gently pat it in until fully absorbed. Avoid the immediate eye and lip area.
• Wait Time: Allow the serum to absorb for 60 seconds before applying your next product (like a moisturiser or sunscreen).

If This, Then That:

• If your skin feels a slight tingle: This can be normal when first using Azelaic Acid. It should subside after a few minutes and with continued use. If it persists or is uncomfortable, reduce frequency.
• If your skin is very sensitive: Apply the serum after your moisturiser ("buffering") to reduce its intensity.
• If you use other strong actives: Alternate nights. For example, use this serum on nights you are not using a retinoid or a strong AHA/BHA exfoliant to avoid potential irritation.

Azelaic Acid is gentle enough for daily use but should be balanced with other strong actives. Here is an example of how to schedule it in your evening (PM) routine.

• Monday: NINELESS A-Control Serum
• Tuesday: Hydration & Barrier Repair (no strong actives)
• Wednesday: NINELESS A-Control Serum
• Thursday: Chemical Exfoliant (e.g., AHA/BHA toner, if in your routine)
• Friday: NINELESS A-Control Serum
• Saturday: Hydration & Barrier Repair (or a soothing sheet mask)
• Sunday: NINELESS A-Control Serum (or Retinoid, if you use one)

Key Rules for Scheduling:

• One Strong Active Per Night: Avoid using this serum on the same night as other potent exfoliants (like high-strength glycolic acid) or retinoids, especially when you are starting out.
• Listen to Your Skin: If you experience any irritation, take a "rest night" with just a gentle cleanser and moisturiser.
• AM Routine: You can use this serum in the morning as well, but always follow with sunscreen. A simple AM routine would be: Cleanser → NINELESS Serum → Sunscreen.

Patience and consistency are key with Azelaic Acid. Unlike harsh treatments, it works gently over time to improve your skin's health.

• Immediate (First 1-3 Uses): You may notice a slight reduction in redness and inflammation. The serum provides a comfortable, non-greasy finish. Some users may experience a mild, temporary tingling or itching, which is normal.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you should see a noticeable decrease in the frequency and severity of breakouts. Existing blemishes may heal faster, and overall skin texture can begin to feel smoother.
• 4-8 Weeks: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots left by acne) and redness should start to visibly fade. Your skin tone will appear more even and balanced.
• 8+ Weeks and Beyond: Continued use helps maintain clear skin, prevents future breakouts, and further improves skin tone and texture. The full benefits for stubborn pigmentation and rosacea-like symptoms are often most apparent after several months of dedication.

• Instead of using harsh physical scrubs for bumpy texture... use this serum. Azelaic Acid provides gentle chemical exfoliation that smooths skin and unclogs pores without causing the micro-tears and irritation that can lead to more breakouts and dark spots (PIH).
• Instead of applying lemon juice or other DIYs on dark spots... use this serum. While natural, lemon juice is highly acidic and can cause chemical burns or photosensitivity, potentially making pigmentation worse. Azelaic Acid is a scientifically proven, stable ingredient that safely inhibits melanin production to fade dark spots effectively.
• Instead of relying on heavy, pore-clogging creams to calm redness... use this lightweight serum. It delivers potent anti-inflammatory benefits deep into the skin to reduce redness at its source, without the greasy feel that can exacerbate breakouts in Mauritius's humid climate.

Azelaic Acid is known for being a team player and layers well with most other skincare ingredients. Here’s a quick guide:

✅ Works Well With:

• Niacinamide: An excellent pairing. Niacinamide helps control oil and strengthen the skin barrier, complementing Azelaic Acid's anti-acne and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Panthenol: Layering with hydrators and soothers helps to buffer any potential dryness and keeps the skin barrier healthy and plump.
• Sunscreen: An essential pairing. Sunscreen protects your skin and prevents the darkening of spots that Azelaic Acid is working to fade.
• Vitamin C: Generally safe to use together, but best to separate for maximum potency (e.g., Vitamin C in the AM, Azelaic Acid in the PM) if you have sensitive skin.

⚠️ Use With Caution:

• Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin): Avoid using them in the same routine (e.g., on the same night) when first starting. Both can be drying. A common approach is to use them on alternate nights.
• AHAs & BHAs (Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid): Layering multiple acids can increase the risk of irritation. It's best to use them at different times of the day or on alternate days.

• 🟢 Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: Excellent fit. It helps regulate sebum, has antibacterial properties against C. acnes, and is anti-inflammatory, making it ideal for managing breakouts and shine.
• 🟢 Combination Skin: Very suitable. It can be applied all over to manage T-zone oiliness and breakouts without overly drying out the normal or dry areas of the face.
• 🟢 Sensitive & Rosacea-Prone Skin: Highly recommended. Azelaic Acid is one of the go-to ingredients for calming the inflammation, papules, and pustules associated with rosacea. Its gentle nature makes it a great choice for reactive skin.
• 🟡 Normal Skin: Good fit, especially if you experience occasional breakouts or want to maintain an even skin tone and smooth texture.
• 🟡 Dry Skin: Can be used with caution. While effective, Azelaic Acid can be slightly drying. Ensure you layer it with plenty of hydrating products (toners, essences) and a nourishing moisturiser to keep your skin comfortable.

• Inflammatory Acne & Breakouts: Reduces the redness and swelling of active pimples and helps prevent new ones from forming.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Effectively fades the dark spots and marks left behind by healed acne or inflammation, which is a primary concern for melanin-rich skin in sunny climates.
• Rosacea-like Redness & Bumps: Calms persistent redness and reduces the papules and pustules often associated with rosacea.
• Uneven Skin Tone & Texture: Gently exfoliates the skin's surface, leading to a smoother texture and a brighter, more even complexion over time.
• Clogged Pores & Blackheads: Helps to normalise skin cell turnover within the pore lining, preventing the buildup that leads to blackheads and whiteheads.

• Niacinamide (2%): Also known as Vitamin B3, this powerhouse ingredient helps to regulate oil production, strengthen the skin barrier, reduce redness, and inhibit pigment transfer to visibly even out skin tone.
• Snail Secretion Filtrate: A K-beauty hero ingredient rich in glycoproteins and hyaluronic acid. It provides intense hydration, promotes skin repair, and helps soothe irritation.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: Known as "Cica" or "Tiger Grass," this botanical extract is renowned for its powerful soothing and healing properties, making it excellent for calming inflamed or sensitive skin.
• Lactic Acid (0.1%): A gentle Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that provides very mild surface exfoliation to help smooth texture and improve radiance.

• Fragrance: This product is formulated without any artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Profile: It is virtually odorless. Any faint scent is naturally derived from the raw ingredients and dissipates quickly upon application.
• EU Allergen List: Based on the disclosed ingredient list, this formula does not contain any of the 26 declarable fragrance allergens listed by the EU.
• Potential Irritants: While formulated for sensitive skin, some individuals may experience a mild, temporary tingling or itching sensation when first introducing Azelaic Acid. This is generally normal and subsides with continued use. Snail Mucin may cause a reaction in those with a rare allergy to mollusks or dust mites. Always perform a patch test before first use.

General Precautions:

• For external use only.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Do not apply to broken, wounded, or eczematous skin.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Who Should Use With Caution:

• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Azelaic Acid at topical concentrations of 10-20% is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, it is always best to consult with your doctor before starting any new active skincare product during this time.
• Highly Sensitive Skin: While designed for sensitivity, it's wise to introduce this serum slowly (e.g., 2-3 times per week) to allow your skin to acclimate.

Patch Test Protocol:

Before using this product for the first time, perform a patch test to check for any adverse reactions.

1. Apply a small, pea-sized amount to a clean, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner arm.
2. Wait for 24 hours. Monitor the area for any signs of redness, itching, swelling, or blistering.
3. If no irritation occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. If you do experience a reaction, discontinue use immediately.

• Texture: A lightweight, slightly viscous gel-serum. It has enough slip to spread easily across the skin without being watery or runny.
• Feel on Skin: Applies smoothly and absorbs within a minute, leaving a natural, skin-like finish. It does not feel greasy, heavy, or sticky once absorbed.
• pH Level: The formulation is expected to have a pH between 4.5 and 5.5 to ensure the stability and efficacy of Azelaic Acid while remaining gentle on the skin's acid mantle.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis) Suitability: This formula appears to be suitable for those with fungal acne concerns, as it does not contain common triggers like fatty acids, esters, or polysorbates. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: I feel a slight itching or tingling when I apply the serum.
  Solution: This is a common and usually temporary side effect of Azelaic Acid. It should diminish as your skin adapts. To reduce the sensation, try applying the serum over a light layer of moisturiser ("buffering") or reduce the frequency of use to every other day for the first couple of weeks.
• Issue: The product is "pilling" or balling up on my skin.
  Solution: Pilling usually happens when you apply too much product or don't allow enough time for layers to absorb. Use only 2-3 drops for your entire face and wait at least 60 seconds before applying your next skincare step, like moisturiser or sunscreen.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit dry after using it.
  Solution: While gentle, Azelaic Acid has mild exfoliating properties. Ensure you are following up with a good, hydrating moisturiser. You can also layer a hydrating toner or essence before applying the serum to boost moisture.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after a week.
  Solution: Azelaic Acid works gradually. It targets the underlying causes of acne and pigmentation, which takes time. Be consistent with daily use (and especially sunscreen in the AM) and expect to see noticeable improvements after 4-8 weeks.

This serum is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humidity & Oil Control: The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly without feeling heavy or sticky in high humidity. Its sebum-regulating properties (from Niacinamide and Azelaic Acid) help manage the excess shine and oiliness that are common in our climate.
• Sun & Hyperpigmentation: With intense year-round UV exposure in Mauritius, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a major concern. Azelaic Acid is a star ingredient for safely fading these dark marks on melanin-rich skin. Always pair it with a high-SPF sunscreen during the day to protect your progress.
• Heat & Redness: The anti-inflammatory properties of Azelaic Acid and Centella Asiatica make this serum excellent for calming heat-induced redness and irritation.
• Seasonal Adjustments: During the more humid summer months, this serum might provide enough hydration for oily skin types under sunscreen. In the slightly drier winter or in air-conditioned environments, you may want to layer it with a more substantial moisturiser.

Our recommendations are based on a combination of brand-provided information, dermatological studies, and established ingredient science.

• Azelaic Acid (Ingredient Rationale): Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that topical Azelaic Acid (at concentrations of 10-20%) is effective in treating mild to moderate acne, rosacea, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Its mechanism involves anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and tyrosinase-inhibiting properties, making it a well-tolerated and effective active for a range of skin concerns, especially in melanin-rich skin where PIH is common.
• Niacinamide (Ingredient Rationale): Scientific literature supports the use of Niacinamide (at 2-5%) for strengthening the skin barrier by increasing ceramide synthesis, regulating sebum production, and inhibiting the transfer of melanin, which helps to even out skin tone.
• Centella Asiatica (Ingredient Rationale): The active compounds in Centella Asiatica, such as madecassoside and asiaticoside, have been shown in studies to have significant wound-healing and anti-inflammatory effects, making it an excellent ingredient for calming irritated and acne-prone skin.

• Size: 30ml
• Dosage: Approximately 2-3 drops per application (approx. 0.15ml).
• Total Applications: This bottle contains approximately 200 applications.

Estimated Duration:

• If used once daily: The bottle will last for approximately 6 months.
• If used twice daily (AM & PM): The bottle will last for approximately 3 months.

This makes the serum a cost-effective treatment, providing a long-lasting supply for consistent use to achieve and maintain results.

This serum is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are a mix of acne, redness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. However, other options might be a better fit if your goals are more specific.

• For More Stubborn Hyperpigmentation & Uneven Tone: Anua NIACINAMIDE 10%+TXA 4% SERUM 30ML — Choose this if your main goal is to aggressively target stubborn dark spots, melasma, and sun damage. The combination of 10% Niacinamide and 4% Tranexamic Acid is a powerhouse duo for pigmentation.

• Packaging: This serum comes in a 30ml glass bottle with a dropper applicator for hygienic and precise dosage.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain the stability of the active ingredients. The bathroom cabinet is suitable, but a drawer in your bedroom is even better.
• Travel: The 30ml bottle is travel-friendly and compliant with airline carry-on liquid limits. Ensure the cap is screwed on tightly to prevent leakage.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The glass bottle is recyclable. Please rinse it out before placing it in your recycling bin. The dropper may need to be disassembled (glass pipette, plastic/rubber bulb) and disposed of according to local guidelines.

Here’s a summary of unbiased feedback from real users in online communities like Reddit. (Note: Experiences are individual and results may vary.)

• On Redness & Rosacea (Reddit, r/Rosacea, 2024): Many users with rosacea praise this serum as a gentle yet effective alternative to prescription-strength options. One user noted it significantly reduced their "background redness and the number of papules" without the dryness they experienced from other treatments.
• On Acne & Texture (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2023): A common sentiment is that it's a "great all-rounder" for mild to moderate acne. A reviewer mentioned it helped clear up their hormonal breakouts and "smoothed out the bumpy texture on their forehead" over two months of consistent use.
• On Fading Dark Spots (YesStyle Review, 2024): A customer shared that this was the "only thing that helped fade their stubborn post-acne marks" on their combination skin, noting that spots became visibly lighter after about 6 weeks.
• Fair Caveat (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2024): Some users mention experiencing a "slight tingling or itching" for the first few applications. While most find that it subsides, those with extremely sensitive skin found they had to introduce it very slowly (once every 2-3 days) to avoid discomfort.

Is 10% Azelaic Acid considered strong? Will it make my skin peel?

No, 10% is considered a very effective yet gentle over-the-counter concentration. Unlike strong retinoids or high-concentration AHAs, it typically does not cause significant peeling. You might experience mild tingling or itching at first, but widespread peeling is uncommon.

Is this serum safe to use during pregnancy?

Yes, topical Azelaic Acid is widely considered by dermatologists to be one of the safer active ingredients for managing acne and hyperpigmentation during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, we always recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new product into your routine during this time.

Can I use this serum if I don't have acne but just want to even out my skin tone?

Absolutely. Azelaic Acid is an excellent ingredient for improving overall skin tone and texture, even if you don't have active breakouts. It helps to fade various types of discoloration and gives the skin a smoother, more radiant appearance.

Why does this contain Snail Mucin?

The Snail Mucin is included for its powerful hydrating and repairing properties. It helps to soothe the skin, support barrier health, and provides a hydrating buffer that can improve the skin's tolerance to the active Azelaic Acid, making the formula both effective and gentle.

Best For: Individuals with acne-prone, sensitive, or rosacea-prone skin looking for a single product to manage breakouts, redness, and dark spots without harshness.

Key Benefits:

• Multi-tasks by targeting acne, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation simultaneously.
• Very gentle formulation, making it suitable for sensitive skin and beginners to active ingredients.
• Lightweight texture is perfect for Mauritius's humid climate.

Keep in Mind:

• Results are gradual and require consistent use; this is not an overnight spot treatment.
• Not suitable for vegans due to the inclusion of Snail Mucin.
