aPAD
description
Glycerin
In our formula we are using 20% Azeclair, a solution containing 6% pure Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD). While 6% might not sound like a high number, when it comes to PAD, it is an outstanding amount. The molecule is effective already and typically used at 1-3%. Studies done by the ingredient’s manufacturer show that 3% PAD (or 10% Azeclair) is an effective amount in normalizing oil production and evening the skin tone, while a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment used 5% PAD for the management of rosacea.
Geek tip: Based on our experience, those who are sensitive to niacinamide tend to find aPAD an especially helpful addition to their skincare routine.

ingredients & research
key ingredients:
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate - A new generation Azelaic Acid derivative designed to be water-soluble and thus enable light formulas. It has a similar effect to the 3-in-1 clinical active Azelaic Acid that helps to normalize oil production, evening the skin tone, reducing blemishes, pigmentation and redness. There are a few studies using PAD already: two used it for the management of rosacea here and here, and another one used it for the management of melasma.
Allantoin - A classic skincare ingredient known for its skin soothing & skin protecting abilities.
Glycerin & Methyl-Gluceth 20 - A gentle humectant combination to help the skin to hold onto water.

Mám už asi piate balenie. Jemne exfoliuje moju šupinatú drsnú pokožku a aj so suchosťou si poradí, tmavé škvrny vybehli.... Raz som ho na istý čas vysadila a bolo to vidieť na pleti, takže zostáva natrvalo v mojej rutine.
Ein tolles Produkt. Ich nutze es nach C-Glow und HA 5 Light. Meine Haut hat nicht mehr diesen Öl-Glanz und sieht wesentlich ebenmäßer aus.
This is a derivative of Azeleic acid ,a very gentle but effective one ! It can be incorporated with any routine morning or night . I love it with my Vit C . It does wonders together !! Super gentle to my sensitive skin ,super efficient to my dark spots ! I was amazed on the formula and how a little goes so long . It is my second bottle and I want to make sure it never leaves my routines !
Fun fact ,I saw the results of it after I run out and had to wait for a little till I have it back
There I saw the glow it also gives to my skin !! Loooove it, love it love it, love it!!!!
Bin sehr Zufrieden mit dem Produkt, neues Haut Gefühl. Kann es wirklich empfehlen. Bin 52 und meine Haut braucht viel Pflege.
Great
