Key Ingredients
Azelaic Acid 10% + Succinic Acid — The Acne-Calming Duo
Azelaic Acid at 10% (the 3rd ingredient) kills acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and fades post-acne marks — all simultaneously, and gently enough for sensitive skin. Unlike retinol or strong AHAs, it doesn't cause purging or peeling. Succinic Acid pairs with it to regulate sebum and further reduce bacteria in pores. Together they form the Aze-Pair Clarifying System — targeting breakouts from two angles without the harshness of traditional acne treatments.
4 Acids in One — BHA, PHA, Lactic, Phytic
Salicylic Acid (BHA) gets into pores and clears out the oil and debris that cause blackheads and breakouts. Gluconolactone (PHA) gently removes dead skin cells from the surface — the most sensitive-skin-safe exfoliant available. Lactic Acid refines texture. Phytic Acid brightens. Four exfoliating actives at once, layered so that PHA buffers the others — you get the clearing effect without the irritation that BHA or lactic acid alone would cause at effective concentrations.
Patented Teca-AC™ — Oil Control + Barrier Repair
Centellian24's proprietary complex: Zinc PCA (controls oil production and minimises pore appearance), TECA Centella Extract (repairs barrier and calms inflammation), and Pantothenic Acid / Vitamin B5 (soothes and retains moisture). This is what makes the serum control oil without drying — it repairs the barrier at the same time it regulates sebum, preventing the rebound oiliness that harsh acne treatments often cause.
4-Terpineol + 5-CICA Complex — Instant Redness Relief
4-Terpineol is the concentrated anti-inflammatory compound from tea tree — the part that actually reduces bacteria and redness, without the irritation that tea tree oil itself can cause. The 5-CICA Complex (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid + supporting actives) provides rapid soothing of inflamed, red, and hot skin. Together they deliver the fast calming effect — skin feels less reactive within minutes of application.
Product Details
Full Description
The Centellian24 Madeca Azelaic Acid 10+ Calming Serum is a multi-active acne and redness serum that solves a problem most acne treatments create: the more aggressively they clear skin, the more they irritate and dry it. This formula runs four active systems simultaneously — an exfoliating acid blend, azelaic acid, an oil-control and barrier-repair complex, and a rapid-calming botanical layer — each balanced so that the overall formula remains gentle enough for daily use on sensitive skin.
Azelaic Acid at 10% (the third ingredient — meaningfully high) is the star: it kills P. acnes bacteria, reduces the inflammatory response that makes breakouts red and painful, and fades post-inflammatory pigmentation (the dark marks left after spots heal) all without photosensitising the skin. Succinic Acid adds sebum regulation and additional antibacterial activity. BHA (Salicylic Acid) clears inside pores. Gluconolactone (PHA) exfoliates the surface gently. Lactic and Phytic Acids refine and brighten.
The patented Teca-AC™ complex makes this different from standard azelaic acid serums: Zinc PCA controls oil without stripping, TECA Centella repairs the barrier, and Pantothenic Acid soothes and moisturises — so the serum doesn't leave skin dry or sensitised. 4-Terpineol (concentrated tea tree active) and the 5-CICA Complex provide fast anti-inflammatory action. Niacinamide brightens and balances. Allantoin, Panthenol, and Beta-Glucan protect the barrier. Adenosine adds anti-ageing support.

How to Use
- 01After cleansing and toner, apply before moisturiser as the serum step.
- 02Apply a small amount and spread evenly over face. Gently pat to absorb — do not rub.
- 03AM and PM use. Always follow with SPF in the morning — BHA and acids increase photosensitivity.
- 💡New to acids: start every other night to allow skin to adjust, then build to daily use over 1–2 weeks.
