Dermatica - Description

Description

The award-winning cream that helps speed up cell turnover to exfoliate dead skin, unclog pores and refine the skin’s texture — combating blemishes and helping to prevent future breakouts. Azelaic acid is a powerful, age-defying antioxidant that improves the look of stubborn dark spots and fine lines — resulting in skin that appears brighter and more youthful.

Expertly engineered with glycerin and ceramides, this lightweight cream supports skin hydration, reinforces the skin’s lipid barrier, and protects against water loss and environmental stressors.

Available in two evidence-backed strengths: 15% will suit new users or those experiencing retinization, and 20% is for all skin types and experienced azelaic acid users.
