Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

The 15% concentration draws mixed responses. One dermatologist questioned whether the labeled strength holds up in the formula and found it stung their skin, preferring a prescription alternative, while another expert praised it as an impressive formulation and good value at under eight pounds for those whose skin tolerates higher-strength azelaic acid. The real question is whether the concentration listed on the label stays stable in the actual product.

"With the Face Theory product they probably put a lot into it to be able to put 15% on the label, but is it a true 15%? That remains to be seen."

"If you want to go for a higher strength azelaic acid and your skin can tolerate it, Facetheory do a 15 which I love, and I think is just a good all-rounder. Nice concentration for everyone, and it's like seven pounds, eight pounds, so cheap."
