ÂN-DEW 10% Azelaic Acid + PHA Serum
Description
Meet ÂN-DEW: a multifaceted skin-brightening serum that brightens, lightens, clarifies, and mildly exfoliates the skin.
The formula combines two gentle yet effective exfoliants lauded for sensitive skin tolerability: Azelaic Acid and PHA gluconolactone. Both ingredients work by exfoliating dead skin cells on the surface, resulting in a more even-looking skin tone, clarity, and texture. While azelaic acid diminishes the appearance of skin blemishes, helps fade post-acne marks + other discolorations, refines skin's surface, and decongests clogged pores.
The duo joins forces with hexylresorcinol alongside resveratrol and licorice root extracts to steadily fade uneven skin tone, improve the appearance of stubborn spots, and other discolorations. Then comes vitamin C—the dermatological gold standard for free radical protection—delivered in potent botanical forms via Kakadu plum and Indian gooseberry.
KEY BENEFITS: Brightening, clarifying, lightening, mildly exfoliating
HOW TO: Apply in circular motions to a clean face, neck, and décolleté once daily—working up to twice daily if skin tolerates it.
FYI: Skin purging may occur for some when using chemical exfoliants like those found in ÂN-DEW. Azelaic Acid + PHA Gluconolactone work by exfoliating dead skin cells and bringing the congestion to the surface, thus experiencing some skin purging. We recommend continuing use as consistency will improve texture and skin tone over time.

What’s Inside?
In addition to the ANFISA Trinity, here are some of the key ingredients and benefits inside the ÂN-DEW 10% Azelaic Acid + PHA Serum.
HEXYLRESORCINOL
The new gold standard in skin brightening; an age-fighting agent containing powerful antioxidant protection, that brightens and promotes even skin tone. Clinical studies have demonstrated its performance in skin-brightening ability and diminishing dark spots and blemishes for all phototypes, with a significant reduction (20%) in skin age spots in 4 weeks.
KAKADU PLUM
A rich source of Vitamin C that helps to brighten the complexion and improve overall skin tone and elasticity. Alongside its powerful antioxidant properties, Kakadu plum has proven to soothe sensitivities, diminish the appearance/look of redness, and combat signs of aging.
AZELAIC ACID
A naturally occurring compound that gently exfoliates, decongests pores, and reduces the appearance/look of redness. Azelaic acid has shown to have profound antioxidative effects, working to diminish blemishes, and fade the appearance of post-acne marks. This unique formula works to clarify uneven tone, target stubborn spots, and soothe irritation resulting in smoother, more radiant, and younger-looking skin.
RESVERATROL
A potent antioxidant found in grape skins and berries, that in skincare, works on a cellular level to fight pathogens. This results in reducing and slowing the signs of aging and cell damage by helping to support skin protection from oxidative damage or environmental protection. Additionally, Resveratrol has been shown to visibly minimize skin discolorations, redness, and soothe the skin.
POLYHYDROXY ACID
Gluconolactone is a chemical exfoliant that works to improve bumpy skin and even skin tone. It is chemically and functionally similar to AHAs (such as glycolic acid). The significant difference between a PHA like Gluconolactone and AHA's is that it has a larger molecular structure, thought to allow it to conceal its acidic nature from deeper skin layers, rendering it suitable for sensitive skin without hampering its effectiveness nor inducing photosensitization. PHA’s can also function as antioxidants and may promote improvement in the skin’s apparent firmness/tightness.
LICORICE ROOT EXTRACT
Works to brighten and soothe sensitive and/or reddened skin. One of its components, known as glabridin, is a potent antioxidant making it an excellent ally for treating an uneven skin tone by diminishing the appearance of blemishes and post-acne marks on the skin.
