Achieve a clear, balanced complexion with the KisoCare Balancing Essence AZ (commonly cataloged as No.053). This advanced Japanese serum is a potent solution for skin prone to "fluctuations" —seasonal redness, occasional breakouts, and irregular texture. Unlike standard treatments that can be overly drying, No.053 utilizes a sophisticated Azelaic Acid Derivative (Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate). This specialized molecule delivers the skin-calming and oil-regulating benefits of Azelaic Acid while maintaining high solubility and a moisturizing feel, making it exceptionally effective for those with sensitive or combination skin.
The clinical strength of this essence is amplified by its "Total Balance" complex. It combines the Azelaic derivative with Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to refine pore appearance and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Stable Vitamin C) to brighten dull areas and fade post-blemish marks. This synergy ensures that while you are treating active congestion, you are also reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier and protecting it from oxidative stress. To provide immediate relief, the formula is infused with a concentrated blend of 7 natural botanical conditioners, including Centella Asiatica (Cica), Scutellaria Baicalensis, and Rosemary, which work together to neutralize redness and soothe micro-inflammation.
True to the KisoCare "Minimalist Excellence"standard, this serum is 8-free, meticulously excluding silicones, parabens, petroleum-based surfactants, and synthetic fragrances. Its texture is a dewy, lightweight liquid that penetrates quickly without any sticky residue, allowing it to layer seamlessly into any routine. Housed in a 1 oz (30ml) precision-dropper bottle, it is an essential daily ritual for anyone seeking to "reset"their skin to a smooth, matte, and transparently clear state. With KisoCare No.053, you aren't just managing oil; you are providing your skin with the biological tools needed to maintain a consistently calm and radiant glow.
Potent Azelaic Acid Derivative: Featuring Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, this essence targets excessive sebum and inflammation at the source. It helps to smooth out "strawberry skin" texture and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores without causing the stinging often associated with pure acids.
Stable Vitamin C & Niacinamide Duo: The inclusion of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Niacinamide provides a comprehensive approach to skin tone correction. These ingredients work to brighten sallow areas, fade hyperpigmentation, and improve overall skin clarity and resilience.
Intensive Cica & Botanical Soothing: Saturated with a cocktail of 7 organic plant extracts, the formula provides a powerful anti-inflammatory shield. It is specifically designed to calm the "heat"and redness associated with reactive skin types and environmental stress.
Quadruple Hyaluronic Acid Hydration: To prevent the dryness often caused by clarifying products, the serum utilizes four distinct types of Hyaluronic Acid. This creates a multi-layered moisture wrap that keeps the skin plump and hydrated from the surface down to the stratum corneum.
Low-Irritation "Clean" Standard: Meticulously crafted in Japan to be hypoallergenic and free from eight major additives. This fragrance-free, alcohol-free formula is safe for twice-daily use, providing professional-grade results with a gentle, skin-friendly profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Azelaic acid is a naturally-occurring dicarboxylic acid known for its ability to support skin clarity and even tone. Kisocare Azelaic Topical Acid Serum No.053 features this ingredient to help address texture concerns and promote a more balanced complexion, making it suitable for various skin types seeking targeted treatment.
Kisocare No.053 is formulated with ingredient transparency in mind. While azelaic acid is generally well-tolerated, sensitive skin types should patch test first and introduce the serum gradually into their routine. If you have reactive or compromised skin, consult a dermatologist before use to ensure compatibility.
Kisocare No.053 can be layered with complementary actives, but spacing and concentration matter. To minimize irritation, apply azelaic acid on one night and other actives on alternate nights when starting. Once your skin builds tolerance, you may gradually introduce them closer together. Always monitor your skin's response.
