RUDDI vs Paula's Choice Azelaic Acid
Which One Is Right For You?

Two Amazing Azelaic Acids — Which One Is Right for You?


Azelaic acid is one of dermatologists’ favorite ingredients for acne- and rosacea-prone skin. It’s not just a single-action active — it works on multiple fronts:


Antimicrobial — targets the bacteria that can trigger breakouts.


Anti-inflammatory — calms redness and soothes irritation.


Healing & turnover — encourages gentle cell renewal to fade post-acne marks and improve texture.


But here’s the key: not all azelaic acid formulas are created the same. The supporting ingredients, base texture, and preservatives all shape how your skin experiences it — from soothing and hydrating to more exfoliating and active-focused.


Let's dive in


RUDDI 10% Azelaic Acid Redness Calming Cream was designed with inflamed, reactive skin in mind. While it delivers the same 10% azelaic acid, it pairs it with Centella Asiatica extract and allantoin, both proven to calm irritationstrengthen the skin barrier, and promote recovery. 


Instead of layering in multiple exfoliating actives, RUDDI keeps the supporting cast focused on soothing and hydration, making it a gentler choice for people with rosacea, frequent redness, or easily irritated skin. Its preservative blend is mild and designed to keep the formula stable without disrupting the skin barrier—important for those with sensitivity.

Paula’s Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster is a smart option if your priorities lean toward managing acne and pigmentation. In addition to 10% azelaic acid, it includes salicylic acid, which gives it an added exfoliating edge for clogged pores and breakouts, and licorice root extract, known to brighten dark spots. 

So if you have mild to severe rosaceasensitive skinpersistent redness, and are looking for some added hydration and barrier support RUDDI's 10% Azelaic Acid Redness Calming Cream is perfect for you.
