Recently had finally finished 10% otc stuff and started the prescription strength. Used up 15% Skinoren gel (still a cream imho) and now use a little bit cheaper 20% cream called Acnestop. The skin on my face has finally became smooth and acne subsided. I definitely noticed the oil-reduction effect. It does sting in the beginning but the effect is so worth it. The main issue is slight flaking around the mouth.

I use azaleic acid in Australia under the brand Azclear. The foaming face wash is an excellent second step in my cleanse and love the lotion for my ever bumpy chin skin. It really makes a difference

I finally went to the dermatologist for help with my acne rosacea. My azelaic acid Rx has been a gamechanger! Thanks for this video, Dr. Dray!

I totally love your explanations they're always super clear and detailed whitout being repetitive. Highly appreciated 😊.

Yes! Agree 💯% Dr. D. I have been with you for 3 years and my skin is transformed. I use The Ordinary Azalaic Acid 10% and it really helps me with my sun spots and redness (not rosacea...just a fair ginger). It fits into my regimen perfectly.

I’ve used the Paula’s Choice Azelaic Acid for about three years, particularly in the hotter months, when my skin is very oily. Aside from some tingling and quickly resolved redness at the very beginning, I had no signs of irritation. It has helped control oiliness and the development of clogged pores by a respectable percentage. I don’t use it daily in the winter because my skin is more combination, but continue to use it two to three times a week. Thanks for an interesting video.

I bought my very first product from The Ordinary yesterday! I've been wanting to try azalaeic acid for my sun damaged induced hyper pigmentation for awhile now so I'll be adding into my routine. I love the idea of the mild exfoliation benefit since I stopped using all other topicals while getting accustomed to tretinion. Thanks for all of the education and entertainment!

I've been using the Peach Slices 10% Azelaic Acid Serum for the last few months and it has really made quite the difference in my routine. I usually have it in my nighttime routine and it works wonderfully.

As a user of TO's azelaic acid for a couple years, it has genuinely worked for me, but I only get the full benefit using it every day to every other day. Just be consistent. I got this and their glycolic acid toner a couple years ago and before use I had all these closed comedones (tiny texture bumps that you can't really pop/no head, too small) and PD from trying to mechanically exfoliate without hydrating well enough, then my experiment with differin which put my face into full catastrophe PD. This product saved my face. The glycolic acid was too harsh to use more than once a week, diluted. But THIS is GOLD. Stay consistent, give it a try.

I love that you’re getting to the point in recent videos

Curology included 5% azelaic acid in the formula they compounded for me along with tretinoin and niacinamide. The formula helps my skin a lot, but the combination does make it tough to know which ingredient(s) is actually doing the heavy lifting

I began having perioral dermatitis in Jan 2022. I went to my dermatologist and began using some of the Ave’ne products … they were great. I also wear and continue to wear a broad-rimmed hat. I’ve used sunscreen in my daily routine for a long time… so I added another layer after first layer dried. So that’s it !

I agree, it's the most underrated ingredient. I remember when my roommate with a good skin recommended it to me about 6 years ago. Me, the PCOS cystic acne victim, thought she's again pushing some ridiculous unsolicited advice that won't do much and never listened to her. It was the only recommendation I got from a friend ever that I admit was excellent and I admit I was wrong not to give it a try then. I use 20% 2 a week whilst on tretinoin and I love it. It's better than BHA for my T zone!!!

I was just prescribed this! I had never heard of it before and was skeptical. Thanks for the video!

Super agree!! I’ve used a combo azelaic acid 15% and tret 0.018% cream for over a year now and its made such a major difference. I used to use azelaic acid by itself which helped with my rosacea but I have super oily skin that “clogs” frequently so I wanted to give tret a try. Shocked my skin was able to get used to tret, but now that it is, it’s much less sensitive than how it used to be. My skin is just way stronger and healthier in general 😁 thanks for all your amazing advice over the years.

@@MCMSavedByGraceForever hi! Just now saw this. Tbh I used Differin first and it WRECKED my face. Idk if it was too strong or I had some sort of reaction to it but it was bad. I was really scared to try tret for that reason but I didn’t have that reaction at all! It did make my skin very dry but I didn’t even get peeling. I was using the lowest % possibly only 3 nights a week and applied over a thick vanicream moisturizer. It got better over time and I saw results only within a couple months, but it was still about a year for my skin to get 100% used to it and it no longer made me dry. For that year my skin was also extra sensitive as would be expected, so I used very bland products for extra sensitive skin like vanicream. However, after about a year my skin is actually way less sensitive than before I started. I think that’s probably due to the fact that it thickens your skin overall over time, so sensitivity is lessened. I still do not apply it every night; 3x a week has been more than enough for me. Less is more when it comes to tret imo! There’s not really any evidence that applying it daily or using a stronger % gives any better results than a low % or applying a few times a week. Probably just depends on the person. Azelaic acid does cause me some tingling too even still today but unless you’re getting some serious irritation from it, I think that’s normal for sensitive skin. Hope that helps! And I do still definitely recommend apostrophe!

Yes! Azelaic acid is seriously unrated. I’ve been using OTC 15% Skinoren gel (South Africa) for two years now (I’m 47) and seen huge difference in skin texture, brightness, pigmentation, and reduction in breakouts. But I did a double-take after the first few days of using it already! I know - doesn’t sound possible - and I wouldn’t have believed someone else either. I recommended it to a friend who’se derm couldn’t believe the difference in her skin a couple of weeks later - even with her ice-pick scarring which barely improved with monthly micro needling and Fraxel laser. I continue to see improvement and notice the difference in my skin when I run out. Wonder ingredient for me.

This sounds amazing. I love this. Thank you for the info!

I am able to get Finacea from pharmacies in Mexico (I live close to the border). It costs about $20. So far, in my experience, the first month of using it was rough. My face felt super itchy. It took so much effort to not scratch my face. After a month, the itchiness subsided. My skin looks great. I alternate between Finacea and tretinoin every night.

Have been using azelaic acid for a long time only on my pimple, when I do get pimples. It helps heal quickly and yes, the marks goes away faster too! Love it.

It is one of best tolerated things I've ever put on my face; I tolerate it better than many sunscreens and moisturizers I've used. I've never experienced any dryness, itchiness, or irritation, or purging, and definitely nothing compared with the prescription retinoids.

I don't have any huge problems but once in awhile I have a flair up of Perioraldermatitis and I have hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and I notice a difference in redness and texture right away if I use either product. The prescription one is so much more expensive.

I’ve used Azeliac acid OTC and nada. As of recent I have traveled overseas and purchased Azeliac acid cream 20% OTC and…. Wow my skin has dramatically changed for the better and it’s only been two weeks. This will never leave my skin care routine. My skin is less oily, brighter and just better. Combined with Trentinion it’s been a powerhouse

I’ve been using azelaic acid for a few months and it’s faded acne spots that were on my chin and it’s friggin’ wonderful. I use the one from Paula’s choice.

I've been using the prescription 15% gel for a year or so for hyperpigmentation and rosacea. It's helped my skin and I'll continue to use.

This has helped my melasma soooo much! Miracle!

glad to hear!

Just started on this acid! Can’t wait to see the results

She's a breath of fresh air

15% Finacea gel in my morning routine for the last year has been a game changer for both my acne and hyperpigmentation. That and tretinoin in the PM are my holy grail actives

Do you layer the azelaic acid under the tretinoin?

@@erickescobedo4820 I don’t use it at the same time as tret (I only use it in the daytime). I’ve tried but it dries my skin out too much using them together

Thanks for this in depth look at azelaic acid Dr Drey! I love my 15% prescription and agree it should be OTC. I read that people with asthma should be careful as the azelaic acid can make the asthma symptoms worse. Any thoughts on this? Thanks again!

Thank you, Dr. Dray! For some reason, it doesn’t matter how hard I try or persist or watch strength ,it really flares up my melasma, so I’ve had to give up. 😢

I use the Naturium Azelaic Acid emulsion and absolutely love it. I think I am on my 8th bottle with another in backup. I do not like to be without it. It has helped me with redness on my cheeks, blackheads on my nose and the occasional breakouts I have. Are they gone 100%...no. Are they fewer and farther between....absolutely. It also was so easy to incorporate into both my AM and PM routines since azalaic can be used with other actives. I absolutely love the ingredient and the product!!! My plan is to talk with my derm if she thinks I even need to move up to a prescription formula.
