AZ-Control Calming Serum: Balancing Troubled Skin
The new AZ-Control series debuts with the “AZ-Control Calming Serum,” a balancing serum formulated to soothe and refine skin prone to imbalances. This serum features 15% azelaic acid, a skin conditioning ingredient known for its efficacy in preventing skin roughness and managing sebum. To counteract potential dryness often associated with azelaic acid, the formula also includes 2% niacinamide, a moisturizing ingredient that supports the skin’s natural barrier function by aiding in the production of natural moisturizing factors and ceramides.
The serum’s unique formulation ensures the water-insoluble azelaic acid penetrates the stratum corneum effectively, maximizing its benefits. With a blend of 15% azelaic acid and 2% niacinamide, this serum aims to provide a hydrated, non-greasy finish, promoting healthy and balanced skin.

Precious Solution Peel Serum: Gentle Daily Exfoliation
The Precious Solution series expands with the “Precious Solution Peel Serum,” a peel care essence designed for daily use without physical exfoliation. This serum works to refine skin texture and promote an even, smooth complexion. It combines seven types of fruit acid extracts, 2% mandelic acid (a skin conditioning ingredient), and five types of ceramides (moisturizing ingredients).
The blend of fruit acid extracts hydrates the stratum corneum, while 2% mandelic acid gently addresses concerns like rough texture and dullness caused by accumulated dead skin cells. The concentration of mandelic acid is carefully chosen to be effective yet gentle enough for daily use, minimizing skin irritation. Furthermore, the inclusion of ceramides, which are crucial components of the skin’s intercellular lipids, helps to reinforce the skin barrier, retain moisture, and protect against dryness. The serum’s light, water-like texture allows for quick penetration into the stratum corneum, gently caring for old keratin while hydrating individual skin cells.
