Control A is a concentrated Azelaic Acid Solution formulated in various strengths. Azelaic acid has been studied to be effective in assisting with minimizing acne and inflammation, reducing pustules associated with rosacea and acne and reducing hyperpigmentation.
This solution is in the purest form possible focused solely on results. We thought deeply about this formula and chose not to add any additional ingredients to this formula and active, rather we decided to keep it pure and focus solely on helping skin heal.
Control A is available up to 14% max at the highest strength prior to a prescription, and is for night time use. With this solution top results can be achieved with 10% used daily at night. Seeing results with Azelaic acid can take up to 8 weeks.
Control A No. 10 appears as a clear fluid while No. 12 and No. 14 are a milky white fluid.
Control A No. 10 is a pure concentrated formula. We wanted you to get exceptional results at this concentration and because of that you will have a longer absorption time.
No. 12 and 14 concentration has a different silky texture than the 10. No. 10 has a moist like texture on skin until it’s absorbed and at that point will leave skin very soft. But if you struggle with tack then we would recommend the No. 12 or 14. Remember these are treatments not beauty.
This formula is not beauty focused, rather, we focus on delivering high efficacy actives in the most pure solutions to address skin health and healing.

INGREDIENTS
TEXTURE & NOTES
Syrupy fluid. Control A can have a moist like texture until the active is absorbed, we recommend applying the formula right after you Cleanse then follow with all other serums. Use any of our Moisturizers to help reduce texture and leave skin soft while this powerful active has the opportunity to work. Allow skin up to an hour absorption time, after which, skin will be soft and plump.
HOW TO USE
Always patch test and allow 24 hours. Apply right after you Cleanse, then follow with all other serums. There’s no need to over apply, dispense 1-3 drops onto clean fingertips, spread the liquid between fingertips of both hands and gently pat onto face and neck moving upwards. As you begin use common side effects of Azelaic acid can apply. If irritation persists discontinue use.
We recommended conditioning the skin by introducing this active 1 to 2 times a week for 2 weeks, then move to every other day use for 2 weeks then daily if skin is tolerant but there’s no reason to push your skin, you will still see results going slower.
Control A can be used in the morning and night. We recommend starting use at night, once skin is conditioned and you’ve achieved nightly use without side effects slowly introduce AM use if needed.
When working with any Acids we recommend protecting your skin with sunscreen.
For highly sensitive skin: After you Cleanse apply Oilless then follow with Control A. Work to condition the skin with 1-2 times a week use.
