Lovi Assistant explains
- Suitable for normal skin due to the presence of azelaic acid, which offers anti-inflammatory and mild keratolytic actions beneficial for maintaining skin balance.
- Glycerin provides moderate moisturizing benefits, hydrating your skin effectively, but the azelaic acid concentration is too low to significantly address your wrinkles and fine lines.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation from harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help smooth fine lines.
- Apply this product after your toner and serum, but before your SPF in the morning. Follow your cleanser and toner steps to keep your skin balanced.
- Gently press a small amount into your face and neck. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent extra tension.
- Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. Clean skin helps the product absorb much more evenly.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to stay safe.

Questions and answers
How well does ACM AZÉANE Azelaic Acid 15% cream work for mature skin?
This cream works for mature skin, though other products fit it better because its azelaic acid concentration is too low to significantly address wrinkles and fine lines. Glycerin provides moderate moisture, but a product of this type for mature skin needs higher concentrations of anti-aging ingredients like niacinamide and peptides to smooth lines and support skin vitality.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for mature skin?
Glycerin helps keep mature skin hydrated, while azelaic acid helps maintain skin balance. However, this cream needs higher concentrations of azelaic acid, along with ingredients like niacinamide, peptides, or sodium hyaluronate to properly smooth fine lines and care for mature skin.
What does Water do for mature skin?
Water helps keep mature skin hydrated, which significantly lowers the severity of wrinkles and maintains elasticity. Because aging skin often loses moisture and firmness, it needs hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to stay plump and smooth.
What does Azelaic Acid do for mature skin?
Azelaic acid helps mature skin by targeting dark spots and uneven tone, while supporting smoother texture and a more youthful look. It provides antioxidant benefits that may reduce signs of aging and protect skin from environmental stress.
Frontiers in Medicine, 2026Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine for mature skin, applied after cleansing and before your final moisturizer. While glycerin provides helpful hydration, the azelaic acid concentration here is too low to significantly address wrinkles and fine lines, so mature skin also needs richer ingredients like peptides, antioxidants, or retinoids to smooth and firm effectively.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream alongside retinol by applying the retinol first, letting it absorb, and then following with this moisturizer to keep your skin calm and hydrated. This type of routine helps maintain skin balance while reducing the likelihood of dryness or irritation.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing treatment in the evening as part of your routine for mature skin. It keeps your skin hydrated and balanced, though it needs higher azelaic acid and firming ingredients to properly smooth out your wrinkles and fine lines.
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on mature skin, as it has a safe profile with a low risk of drying or irritation. However, because the azelaic acid concentration is too low to significantly address wrinkles, mature skin needs a product with higher active concentrations and firming ingredients to truly smooth lines.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
ACM AZÉANE is safe to use around your eyes and on your body, as its gentle formula carries no risks of irritation for mature skin. However, because this moisturizing treatment has only a low concentration of azelaic acid and moderate glycerin, mature skin needs products with higher active ingredients and richer moisturizers to effectively target wrinkles and fine lines.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
What the research says
A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Azelaic acid nanocrystal hydrogel 10% achieved a higher success rate and greater lesion reduction than azelaic acid cream 20% in patients with mild to moderate facial acne.
Pharmaceutics, 2021Application of 15% azelaic acid gel significantly reduced post-inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation, decreased hemoglobin and melanin content, improved quality of life, and contributed to acne improvement in patients with mild to moderate acne compared to placebo.
Dermatology and Therapy, 2024Topical application of a dermocosmetic containing Myrtus communis extract and azelaic acid reduced acne relapses and helped maintain remission compared to a light moisturizing cream in adult females in the acne maintenance phase over 16 weeks.

Why other moisturizers fit mature skin better
Combining oral and topical astaxanthin in 30 healthy females improved skin wrinkles, age spots, elasticity, texture, and moisture, while 6 mg daily oral supplementation in 36 healthy males improved crow's feet wrinkles, elasticity, and transepidermal water loss.
Acta Biochimica Polonica, 2012Adenosine-loaded dissolving microneedle patches showed similar or better efficacy on skin wrinkles, dermal density, elasticity, and hydration compared to adenosine cream in 22 female subjects.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018Treatment with cross-linked hyaluronic acid-based microneedle patches combined with acetyl hexapeptide-8 or epidermal growth factor significantly improved wrinkles and skin hydration compared to the patch alone in Korean females over 29 days.
