SKIN1004 or Anua: Select and use azelaic acid serum
An azelaic acid serum is right for you if you want to cosmetically care for visible redness and traces of impurities. SKIN1004 offers a light, watery ampoule in a small 9 ml format. Anua combines azelaic acid with moisturizing hyaluronic care in a 30 ml bottle. Both come before your cream and are introduced slowly.
SKIN1004 or Anua: which format suits you?
The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Azelaic Acid 10 Ampoule is interesting if you prefer a small bottle for your new skin step. The watery texture spreads easily and is freshly absorbed. Centella and panthenol complement the care for a calmer-looking skin.
The Anua Azelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum meets your desire for a more even-looking complexion and additional moisture. The larger bottle accompanies your regular serum step. Hyaluronic acid and panthenol complement the azelaic acid here.
| Your selection | SKIN1004 Ampoule | Anua Serum |
|---|---|---|
| Care request | Care for visible redness and traces of impurities | Care for visible redness and replenish moisture |
| Format | 9 ml: small bottle to get to know | 30 ml: regular serum format |
| Place in the routine | Before your cream | Before your cream |
| Slow start | A small amount every other day for the first week | One or two drops once or twice a week |
The small SKIN1004 format speaks for the first attempt if you want to purchase as little product as possible. Anua is a suitable choice if you prefer the larger serum format and an emphasis on moisture. You introduce one of the two products and see how it feels on your skin.

This is how your azelaic acid step begins
After cleansing and an optional toner, apply the selected serum thinly. Follow with your trusty moisturizer. In the morning, sunscreen completes your routine.
SKIN1004 recommends a small, pea-sized amount every other day on the desired areas for the first week. Anua starts with one to two drops one to two days per week. If the skin remains comfortable, the rhythm can be gradually expanded according to the respective product instructions.
To get to know: First test on a small area. Introduce new retinoids and acid peels on other days. If burning, significant redness or flaking persists, pause. If you have severe or persistent symptoms, seek medical advice. A cosmetic serum does not replace treatment for acne or rosacea.
More about the active ingredient: what the ten percent means
Azelaic acid is its own cosmetic active ingredient. Both manufacturers mention ten percent azelaic acid. SKIN1004 adds two related compounds. Such derivatives have their own names on the ingredient list; they are considered separately when specifying the concentration.
For your everyday life this means: The larger number on a pack does not in itself mean better care. With these two products, the pack size, desired skin feel and a suitable starting rhythm will help you choose.
