Key Ingredients and Benefits
- Improvement of Rosacea-Prone Skin: Azelaic Acid has a calming effect on skin with rosacea, a condition where the skin turns red. When used with Niacinamide and Cica (Centella Asiatica), it can manage these skin issues more effectively.
- Acne-Prone Skin Improvement: Azelaic Acid is also beneficial for acne-prone skin by regulating excessive sebum production and soothing skin inflammation, helping maintain a clear complexion. The combination with Niacinamide and Cica enhances the management of acne-prone skin.
- Strengthened Skin Barrier: Niacinamide aids in reinforcing the skin barrier, while Cica has soothing properties. Together, they enhance the skin's natural protective functions and increase its resistance to external stressors.
- Skin Tone and Texture Improvement: Azelaic Acid helps even out skin tone, and Niacinamide improves skin texture and hydration. Their combined use can significantly enhance skin tone and texture.
- Hydration and Soothing Effects: Niacinamide improves skin's moisture retention, and Cica offers soothing effects. Their synergistic effect keeps the skin hydrated and calm.

How to Use
- Proper skincare begins with a clean state. Thus, it is crucial to wash the face with a gentle cleanser for at least three minutes. After cleansing, use a toner suited to your skin type to refine the skin texture. Then, apply 1-2 drops of ANC10 product evenly across the face. Due to the high concentration of active ingredients, a large quantity is not necessary. Monitor your skin's response after use. If any discomfort or abnormal reaction occurs, discontinue use and seek professional advice.
-
Cautions
- When using ANC10 for the first time, it is recommended to perform a patch test and use it alone without other products for 2-3 days. Observe skin reactions carefully during this period.
- Discontinue use immediately if any irritation or abnormalities occur and visit a medical facility.
- Since the product contains highly concentrated ingredients, start with a small amount and gradually increase.
- Store the product in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and be cautious not to allow external liquids to contaminate it.
-
Product Shelf Life
- ANC10 should be stored at room temperature out of reach of children and used within one year of opening for optimal effectiveness. Storing below 18 degrees Celsius may cause white crystals to form, which does not affect the product's efficacy and will naturally dissolve at room temperature. If the product deforms due to direct sunlight or high temperatures, it is advised to discard it.
