Precautions:
Mild tingling upon initial application is a normal adaptive reaction; gradually build up your skin tolerance for regular use. Perform a skin patch test on the behind-the-ear area or inner forearm prior to full-face application. Do not apply to broken skin, eczema lesions or inflamed compromised skin. Avoid direct contact with the eye contour; rinse eyes thoroughly with plenty of clean water right away if accidental contact occurs.
Q1: Do I need to avoid sunlight while using SOUNDER ONE 20% Azelaic Acid Revitalizing Cream?
A: SOUNDER ONE 20% Azelaic Acid Revitalizing Cream contains no photolytic or photosensitive ingredients, so sun avoidance is unnecessary and it can be safely used during daytime hours. Consistent daily sunscreen wear is highly recommended to optimize skincare outcomes.
Q2: What is the difference between the 15% and 20% Azelaic Acid formulations?
A: The 15% Azelaic Acid version features a lightweight, fluid texture. All skin types can build up skin tolerance via spot application before full-face use. The 20% Azelaic Acid Revitalizing Cream delivers a higher active concentration with a richer, more moisturizing texture, which is advised for targeted spot application only. Full-face application is acceptable once your skin has fully built tolerance. Discontinue use and consult a dermatologist promptly if persistent severe discomfort occurs.
Q3: Can SOUNDER ONE 20% Azelaic Acid Revitalizing Cream be layered with other acid ingredients such as Retinoic Acid or Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA)?
A: We do not recommend layering this product with other acidic actives, as excessive acid layering will overstimulate the skin and trigger irritation and discomfort. Tranexamic Acid is fully compatible for combined use since it is classified as an amino acid rather than an exfoliating acid.
Q4: How to distinguish skin irritation tolerance reaction from an allergic reaction after using 20% Azelaic Acid Revitalizing Cream?
A: Temporary skin intolerance usually presents with stinging, itching, redness and flaking, which can be relieved by gradual tolerance building and intensive moisturizing & soothing care. Symptoms such as swelling, blisters, pus discharge or constant severe itchiness indicate a genuine allergic reaction. Stop application right away and consult a healthcare professional for medical guidance.
