Medicube Azelaic Acid Serum — azelaic acid is unusually versatile: antibacterial, mildly exfoliating, anti-inflammatory and a pigment inhibitor. That combination means it treats a blemish, the redness around it, and the brown mark left behind afterwards.
At 16% this is a serious cosmetic concentration. It is also one of the very few actives considered safe in pregnancy, which makes it the usual substitute when retinoids have to stop.
Best for
Blemishes with redness, rosacea-prone skin, and post-blemish marks.
How to use Medicube Azelaic Acid Serum
Apply at night to clean skin. Expect mild tingling for the first week or two.
What is in it
Azelaic acid
Azelaic acid is unusually versatile: it is antibacterial, mildly keratolytic, anti-inflammatory and a tyrosinase inhibitor. In practice that means one ingredient addressing blemishes, the redness around them, and the brown marks they leave behind. It is also one of the very few actives considered safe during pregnancy, which makes it the standard substitute for people who have had to stop using retinoids.

What to use it with
Seal this in with a moisturiser and apply it to skin that is still damp from a toner — both steps make a measurable difference to how much of the serum stays where you put it. From the rest of our range, APLB Zinc Niacinamide Facial Cream and Anua BHA 2% Gentle Exfoliating Toner are sensible companions, and both are stocked with the same cash-on-delivery terms.
Where it fits in your routine
A serum goes on after cleansing and toning, while skin is still slightly damp, and before anything heavier. That order matters more than people expect — the thinnest, most concentrated layer needs direct contact with skin, not a film of moisturiser in the way. Give it thirty seconds to absorb, then seal it in with a cream. If you are using more than one serum, the lighter one goes first.
Before you start
Patch test on a small area behind the ear or along the jaw before the first full application, particularly if your skin reacts easily. Introduce one new product at a time so that if something does not agree with you, you know which one it was.
Common questions
Is Medicube Azelaic Acid Serum authentic?
Yes. Euros Belle stocks sealed, unopened units sourced through the brand’s own distribution, and we do not sell testers, decants or refilled packaging. Every order is checked before it leaves us, and you are welcome to inspect the seal at the door before paying.
What size is Medicube Azelaic Acid Serum?
This listing is the 30 ml size, priced at ৳2,250. Where a product is available in more than one size, each is listed separately so the price you see is the price for the size shown.
What if it arrives damaged or wrong?
Check the parcel before you pay — that is the practical advantage of cash on delivery. If a seal is broken, a bottle has leaked or the item is not what you ordered, refuse the delivery and tell us, and we will replace it or cancel the order. Cosmetics that have been opened and used cannot be returned for hygiene reasons.
How fresh is the stock?
We buy in small, frequent batches rather than holding large quantities, so what reaches you is well within date. Batch and expiry markings are printed on the packaging and we do not remove or cover them. If anything you receive is close to expiry, tell us and we will replace it.
Does the Dhaka climate affect it?
Heat and humidity shorten the working life of most cosmetic formulas, and actives like vitamin C and retinoids are the first to suffer. Keep the product capped, out of direct sun, and away from the hottest corner of a bathroom. A cool cupboard is better than a windowsill, and better than a fridge for most textures.
How should I store it?
Somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, with the cap closed properly. Bangladesh’s heat and humidity shorten the life of most formulas, and a bathroom shelf directly above a hot shower is the worst place in the house for anything active.
