Product summary

"Geek & Gorgeous 101 - aPAD" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory and Evens skin tone

This product could be helpful for: Anti-blemish and Moisturizing, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.

Ingredient callouts

  • Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (6.00% (declared)). It is a derivative of Azelaic Acid. It is less studied than Azelaic Acid, but the available research suggests that it also can be effective in reducing skin redness, hyperpigmentation and blemishes. There are claims that it is more bio-available and more effective than azelaic acid, but no comparison study is available. Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate is better soluble in water compared with Azelaic Acid. Because of this property, products with Potassium Azeloyl Digclycinate can have a nicer texture.
  • In addition, this product contains Allantoin (1.90% - 2.80%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
  • Humectants (allantoin 1.90% - 2.80% and glycerin 3.40% - 5.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
