Azeva 14% Azelaic Acid Clarifying & Smoothing Cream

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in grains like wheat, rye, and barley. It has been used in skincare for decades and is well-regarded by dermatologists for its ability to help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, redness, blemishes, and texture.

14% is the highest concentration of azelaic acid available without a prescription. Most OTC products cap at 10%, which may not deliver results as quickly. Prescription options (15-20%) require a doctor visit and can cost $200+. At 14%, Azeva gives you the strongest OTC formula at a fraction of the prescription price.

Yes. Azelaic acid is one of the few active ingredients that is well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin. Our formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, and non-irritating. Some users may experience mild tingling during the first few applications — this is normal and subsides quickly.

Most users notice smoother texture within 2-4 weeks. Visible improvements in redness, dark spots, and overall skin tone typically appear within 4-8 weeks of consistent daily use. For best results, use every day as part of your routine.
