Question

Can I mix Azelaic Acid into the product Olay White Radiance Cellucent White Essence Water? If so, do I need to add additional anti-irritant ingredients?

Answer

Based on the information provided:

  • Yes, you can mix Azelaic Acid into the Olay White Radiance Cellucent White Essence Water.
  • You do not need to control the pH. The mixture will be slightly acidic, which is acceptable.
  • It is recommended to start with Azelaic Acid at 5% concentration first to test for skin irritation. If there are no issues like peeling or irritation after about a week, you can increase the concentration to 10%.
  • You do not need to add extra anti-irritants. The Olay product already contains Niacinamide and Panthenol, which help reduce irritation effectively.
  • You should use the mixture only at night and avoid sun exposure.
