Active Ingredients
- AZELAIC ACID
- An anti-inflamatory organic acid derived from wheat, rye or barley. Kills acne-causing bacteria. Recommended for moderate acne, and skin pigmentation (including melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and as an alternative to hydroquinone.
- GREEN TEA EXTRACT
- Green tea contains a range of polyphenols, which have proven antioxidant effects in protecting skin. The extract we use is a super-pure grade, giving a high percentage of epigallocatechin.
- OATMEAL
- Oat extract has superb anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties. Perfect for dry and sensitive skin.
- ROSEHIP FRUIT EXTRACT
- Extracted from the fruit rather than the oil, it's loaded with antioxidants.

+Directions
1. Apply a few drops to clean, damp skin, concentrating on blemishes, fine lines, dark spots and areas of hyperpigmentation.
2. Follow with your favourite moisturiser. Some people may need to gradually accustom their skin to this product.
3. Test first on a small area.
4. After your first full application, wait a day or two before starting regular use. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
4. As this product may increase skin's sensitivity to sunlight, we recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen while using this product and for two weeks afterwards.
Compliment your 15% azelaic acid products with the facetheory broad-spectrum sunscreen called Sunfragma that not only protects the skin but also moisturises it too.
