Clearer, smoother, more even looking skin from one daily serum.

Your skin shows clogged pores, rough patches and marks that linger after a breakout, and it turns pink when you push it too hard.

ÂN-DEW helps clear the look of congestion, smooths texture and fades the look of spots and uneven tone, in a lotion like serum that sinks in fast. It is built on 10% azelaic acid, with gluconolactone, a gentle PHA, to lift away rough surface skin, and hexylresorcinol and licorice root to target the look of dark spots. Jojoba and raspberry seed oils, green tea and vitamin E keep skin comfortable while it works.

Who It Is For

Skin that is congested, uneven in tone or quick to show redness and marks. Anfisa formulates it fragrance free and non comedogenic, for all skin types.

Acne Safe

What You Will See, and When

Azelaic acid works steadily, so give it twelve weeks of daily use before you judge the full result. In Anfisa's 12 week consumer study, every participant said they saw fewer clogged pores and spots and a more even looking tone.

How to Use

Start once a day. After cleansing, massage one pump in circles over clean, dry face, neck and chest; if you use a Plated serum, that goes on first, straight after cleansing, and ÂN-DEW follows. Work up to morning and night as your skin is comfortable, then follow with moisturizer. In the morning, sunscreen goes on last.

The Science

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid with several jobs at once. It helps skin look clearer, calmer and more even. That range is why it suits skin dealing with congestion, redness and marks at the same time.

Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid, or PHA. It smooths and exfoliates like the better known alpha hydroxy acids, but with less stinging, and it also draws water into the skin. Studies have found PHAs compatible with sensitive skin.

Hexylresorcinol targets the look of dark spots. In a 12 week randomized, double blind split body study, 1% hexylresorcinol reduced the look of facial and hand pigment.

Why a Routine Made for You Works Better

General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.

Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.

Where that point sits depends on:

  • Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
  • Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
  • Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
  • Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
  • Your goals: what you most want to change
  • Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
  • Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
  • Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned

A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
