A 15% azelaic acid cream that clears marks, calms redness and evens the tone
ACM Laboratoire Azéane Cream is a daily face cream for skin with blemishes, residual marks, dark spots and redness. Its formula is built around 15% azelaic acid, an active that gently exfoliates, helps regulate excess sebum, limits the look of redness and works on the pigment behind dark spots. A touch of niacinamide adds a soothing, comforting effect, while an 18% moisturizing complex of glycerin, xylitol and octyldodecyl myristate keeps the skin hydrated, so the treatment stays comfortable day after day. ACM states that visible results start from 7 days, with dark spots looking lighter after about two weeks of regular use.
The texture
A light, smooth cream that spreads easily and absorbs without a sticky feel. It leaves a soft, slightly matte finish, which makes it a good base under makeup, and it has no added fragrance. Because it is light and non-greasy, it works in the morning under sunscreen as well as in the evening on its own. Most people use it once a day at first, then twice a day once the skin is used to it.
Who it suits
- Blemish-prone skin with red or brown post-acne marks
- Skin with redness and an uneven, dull tone
- Teenagers and adults who want a gentler alternative to strong acids
- Oily, combination or normal skin
- Skin with dark spots on the face, neckline or hands
- Anyone following, or finishing, a dermatological treatment for blemishes
Worth knowing before you buy: A slight tingling or warmth can happen during the first days of use with azelaic acid. Start once a day, apply on dry skin, and wear sunscreen every morning while you treat dark spots, for example ACM Sébionex SPF50 matifying gel. Results build over 4 to 8 weeks, so give it time. Avoid the eye area and the lips, and keep using it regularly: azelaic acid works best with patience.
How long one tube lasts
Used once or twice a day on the face, the 30g tube lasts about 4 to 6 weeks, which matches the minimum treatment period ACM recommends.
