Load 3 of 5 · Measured
Up to 4 nights a week
Two to four nights a week for most people, built up from one. Leave an unloaded night on either side while you are finding your pace.
A week has a budget of 12. At 3 a use, this is 4 uses a week if you run nothing else loaded. How the scale works.

Azelaic acid at 20%, twice the strength of Azelaic 10, in the same light cream rather than a gritty gel. It supports the look of an even tone and the appearance of calm in skin that reddens easily.
Load 3. Azelaic is not an exfoliating acid and does not thin the surface the way an AHA does, but at 20% the prickle on application is real and lasts longer than it does at 10%. Build up rather than starting here.
The cast on application is heavier at this strength and takes a couple of minutes to settle on deeper skin tones. Give it that time before layering.

How to use

- Wait two minutes for it to set before anything goes on top.
- Start at two nights a week and build to four. Step up from Azelaic 10 rather than starting here.
Cautions
- Not for use on broken or freshly shaved skin.
- A prickle on application is expected at this strength; persistent burning is not — stop if that happens.
- Do not use on a night you are already running a load 4 or 5 product.
- Patch-test first. Reactive skin should stay on Azelaic 10.
