Cloud Milk is a soothing, fast-absorbing milky serum with 10% azelaic acid that helps reduce and prevent breakouts, calm redness and fade post-acne marks.
WHY WE LOVE CLOUD MILK (and you will too...)
Soothes stressed skin – Remember when you were little and couldn't sleep, and you were given a glas of warm milk? Cloud Milk was inspired by those childhood memories of milk as a one-way ticket to calm. Our version of soothing milk is, of course, vegan, but just as calming.
Gently tackles breakouts – Powered by 10% azelaic acid, it helps keep breakouts in check while staying gentle on sensitive skin. It is naturally anti-inflammatory, helps normalise the skin's microflora and reduces the growth of unwanted bacteria. Azelaic acid also has a gentle exfoliating effect and helps loosen dead skin cells that can clog pores and contribute to breakouts.
Visibly calms redness – If your skin is prone to flushing, you will love Cloud Milk! Both azelaic acid and the centella extract we use have documented effects on redness. You'll quickly see your skin tone become calmer and more even.
Fades post-blemish marks – Inflamed breakouts can leave behind stubborn red or dark marks. With its combination of 10% azelaic acid and 2% active centella concentrate, Cloud Milk works like a magic wand on both post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and so-called post-inflammatory erythema (PIE – red or purple marks left after inflammation). But you’ll need a little patience – results start to become visible after 6–8 weeks.
Suitable for everyone – Don't let the complicated name fool you. Azelaic acid is a super-gentle acid that occurs naturally in different grains and on our skin. It can easily be combined with most active ingredients, such as exfoliating acids and retinoids. Azelaic acid is also a safe and gentle option if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Azelaic acid is a wonderful ingredient found naturally in several common grains. However, it can smell a little sour. Since Common Clouds doesn’t add perfume or any other fragrance compounds, our products don’t contain anything to mask the natural fragrance of the raw materials we use. If you find that Cloud Milk has a slightly tangy smell, rest assure that it will disappear as soon as it’s absorbed into skin.
