I’ve been using Azelaic acid since watching your videos 6 months ago and what a difference! I suffer with closed comedones and minor rosacea and it has improved both issues soooo much. It has also helped with the overall appearance and feel of my skin. It’s super smooth and even toned. Luckily we can get 20% without a prescription here in Australia. I use it every morning and will be for the rest of my life 🥰
I have been using it since November 2021 and I haven't seen any improvement. It actually made me skin breakout a lot at the beginning, and it doesn't seem to help at all with hyperpigmentation. I have been using it everyday on top of the Ordinary's Niacinamide. How do you use it?
So informative! Thank you...I switched to Azelaic Acid 20% from trying to tolerate HQ ( red, itching, burning) to take care of a slight melasma (along mid face going up to cheek bones) I have developed oddly after menopause. I have always been up on skincare and never on birth control or any hormones so very sad about this new issue. Cosmelan MD as instructed was too much for my skin to tolerate and using it once/day along with a hydrating cream was doing nothing ....Azelaic Acid has so far been very tolerable and impacts a clarity to my skin that I like very much. I am white with yellow undertones. My question is using alongside tretinoin, which goes on first? Can I use indefinitely from here on out?--My mistake a few years ago was to switch to a new line : Skinbetter Science Intensive AlphaRet overnight cream vs. continuing with my .08% RetinA Micro... these combo products are not equal in my opinion...one does not know how much retinol and glycolic acid is combined ...
Azelaic acid has changed my life! I suffered with my skin for decades. I had to introduce it very gradually via OTC lower potencies but now use 15% Finacea. A GP had prescribed 20%Skinoren many years ago but it was too strong and irritating so I abandoned it.
This is not a normal skincare content on UA-cam - it is a scientific lecture for the masses! Thank you so much Dr Sam for helping develop educated skincare consumers ❤
I tried a lot of actives (OTC + subscriptions) and antibiotics but nothing helped with my acne. This year I started using azelaic acid and it never irritated my skin, my angry pimples calmed down altogether and I have a more even skin tone. Highly recommend it! My skin is very sensitive and dryness always lead to acne flair ups for me si retinoids, AHA, BHA were all too irritating, no matter which percentage I used.
Thank you for introducing me to this ingredient many years ago. (Long time subscriber). It’s a game changer for sure. I’ve also been able to educate my daughters with their skin issues and they’ve since started using prescription strength.
thanks, Azelaic Acid has helped me greatly. I no longer have flushed cheeks. like Dr. Sam said it might take a few months but worth every effort. Thanks so much, Dr. Sam.
Thank you for this video. Please would it be possible to have a video with more detailed information regarding what percentages are most suited for different skin issues and skin types, e.g. for hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne, sensitive skin etc. I feel this video doesn’t really provide that has already been provided in previous videos. Very grateful for these videos anyway 🙏🏾
Dr. Sam, thank you, because you were actually the first person who I ever heard mention azelaic acid in a Caroline Hirons video way back in 2015. I am so grateful. I just wish I hadn’t waited so long to try it. (As a rosacea patient, hearing about the stinging side effect really scared me off. Thankfully have not had it at all.) Nothing has helped my flushing more, along with a strong, water-resistant spf daily.
Hello Mr.Dr. I am 27 years old and i have hyperpigmentation and Acnes over all my face .i have brown colour can you please help me what helps to me first😢😢😢
I got a prescription strength AZA about 2 years ago and it has really improved my skin. I’ll never be without! I currently use it in the AM with Vitamin C.
Caroline can you help me pls? What percentage do you use and I am really surprised that you've using it for 18 months!!!! Didn't it harm your skin cos many people told me not to use it for more than 6 months. Your response will help me a lot
Hello.. I'm not sure if this question has already been answered but can you take Vitamin A supplements while using Retinoids topically? Hope someone answers.
Your videos are soo helpful! I have learned a lot about my rosacea! I am now using azelaic acid 10% for about 3 months and I can really see some improvements on my skin but I’m not quite there. So I got prescription for 20% (we don’t have 15% unfortunately). I’m curious, is it okay to use 20% for rosacea?
I’m now using 10% azaleic acid on my chin every night. It’s really helped my acne in this area. My skin has improved massively since using it. Far more than the prescription of antibiotics I’d been given by the doctor for years!
I’m using Finacea 15% for the past 3 weeks, using it every other night. I absolutely love it! Saw a difference the first use. Just wondering how long I should wait to apply moisturizer after and if I can start to use it once everyday?
Most derms say you can apply the moisturiser 15-30 minutes after applying Azelaic acid. But to be on safe side, I do it after an hour or so right before going to bed. As for the daily usage, after two to four weeks, we can start using it daily depending on the skin condition.
I love azelaic acid for many things, the results are dramatic. But using a fingertip or even half a fingertip seems like a lot. I only use a pea sized amount, otherwise it dries my skin out.
i bought 20% gel several days ago and oh my goodness even the instant effect it does to my skin is mindblowing, it mattifies my skin, my face doesn't get too oily throughout the day anymore, and my pores are finer than ever! usually after cleansing with salicylic acid, i can see sebaceous filaments and blackheads in just several hours later, but Azelaic acid has been able to keep my pores looking clean all day long.
i have clear skin because Azelaic acid, and no more acne come!! azelaic acid is game changer! i use 20% aza cream, without prescription in my country! don’t worries the ordinary have 10%, u can try that!!
Hello Dr.. it's been 3 month on Accutane and acne have increased a lot. I have closed comodone which are now turning into pus filled acne.can I use azlec.
Might this also work for hyperkeratosis and other skin issues caused by the inability of the skin to get rid of old skin cells and inflammatory problems (auto immun issues as well)? My boyfriend has issues on his elbows (outside) and other joints.
All of a sudden I started getting rosacea-like flushing and red bumps on my cheeks that would last well past the initial red flush. I did some research and found out about azelaic acid and got Zealseal 10% OTC. I was scared to put anything on my skin so I used it sparingly and still within 3 days I could really see a difference! Within 2 weeks it had basically returned my cheeks completely back to normal!! I was completely blown away and am now preaching about azelaic acid to everyone I know! I will continue to use it for as long as I need to! So thrilled to have found something that works for my super sensitive skin! Thank you for this suggestion!
@@nicoleannponies It actually helped with the flushing before the bumps for me. I had only been having symptoms for a couple of weeks when I started using it, so I don’t know if that’s why it worked so astonishingly quickly. I’m still using it and it has helped my skin tremendously!
Doc.. can we apply azelaic with tretinoin together ? I have melasma and i tried combination cream ( hydroquinon+tretinoin+seteroid) , but it didnt work.. and now, i am trying to combine azelaic+tretinoin in night treatment , vitamin c+azelaic+sunscreen in the morning. Pls corect my treatment, is it ok or not?
Hello Dr. Sam! I wanted to ask if it's possible to apply azelaic acid in my morning routine without having to wash my face with a cleanser. Since I'm trying to only wash it at night to not compromise my skin barrier. Thank you for your content!
Hi, great video. Just one question....... how would you compare pure Azelaic acid to PAD (potassium azeloyl diglycinate) in terms of effectiveness. Which would you recommend?
I really enjoy your videos, very informative! I introduced azelaic acid a month ago and so far I am quite pleased. Other ingredients dry up my skin ( I’m 49, prone to breakouts and redness..), but so far azelaic acid did not do that, and if I feel my skin is too dry, I use it every other day. I live in Canada, in a region where we can get dry and very cold weather in winter. For this reason, I search for ingredients that I can use year round. Found it a nice mix with my niacinamide serum. Wish you the best 😊
Went to a derm they were like "yup rosacea" then suggested Lazer treatment and scuttled off... Like, uhhh, that's 800$ per session...why not write me a script for azelaic acid? Since insurance does pay for that 🙄🙄🙄
SC Smurfette Both, lactic acid is for exfoliation. Azelaic acid is used to calm the skin, hyperpigmentation, it does smooth the texture of the skin, it helps with acne. I use lactic acid 1or 2x a week for exfoliation, i alternate between other exfoliaters.
Help please, I just started Finacea 15% and my skin get itchy and tingling a lot. When applied I waited at least 5 mins for each layer of moisture and sunscreen but each time I apply another product on top it make my skin itchy over and over. I really don’t know what to do. 😢
I was prescribed this, but haven't been using it because my dermatologist didn't give me the information your videos have. I wish I'd thought to look for info a year ago, because maybe I wouldn't be dealing with all the skin issues I have now.
My son is coming up to his 12th Birthday and in the last month has started to get some spotty areas (mainly around the forehead hairline area, a bit on the cheeks and the odd spot elsewhere). I have started him on using the Cerave SA cleanser which seems to be helping, but I'm not sure what else is safe to use on his skin. I don't know if things like Azelaic acid have been tested on younger skins. I wondered if maybe you could do a video on this at some point. I know I'm not the only one facing the situation of their children hitting puberty symptoms at a fairly young age. It would be great to hear from an expert who knows what to do in this situation (that's you btw lol). Thank you, Emma x
Azelaic acid has really calmed down my rosecea and normalised my skin. I use brightly in the morning and finacea pm. I am going to replace my finacea with nightly incorporating it slowly. Thank you so much for alerting me to its benefits. I have been using it for around 6 months, can I continue to use it forever even though my rosecea is under control?
Thx for the video, I started using it only every second night quite sometime ago but I didn't see any results on my problem areas. I've stepped up and have been using am and pm daily and I think I am seeing a very slight result. As my complexion is dull as I am getting older, I will step up again and try using it on my whole face. 😊 I am sure it's taking a much longer time to work bc it is not irritating my sensitive face.
Hello Dr. Bunting: I am new to your channel and I have gone through some of your videos. The thing that inspired me is your dedication to purpose, clarity of communication and above all the integrity of your message. I will follow the wisdom you are imparting for which I remain thankful. Stay Blessed.
Hihi dr Sam I am taking accutane 40mg daily but I have malasma in my cheekbones and forehead nose and upper lip can I use alpha arbutin or Azelaic acid and vitamin c please please help
I used mirvaso brimonidine 3 mg gel for my rosacea. Is it still ok to use azelaic acid along with this? At the moment I only use the brimonidine in the morning at the azelaic acide in the evening (only once every other day as I've only just started to try it). Thanks!
Hey there. - my isClinical cleanser has Salicylic acid in it and I use it day and night - how should I approach adding AA to my routine - is it ok to use both at once? I’m treating moderate acne. After cleansing in the Evenings, I apply benzoyl peroxide 2.5% as a face mask ever other day over my pimples. I’ve stopped using everything else but would like to include AA to help get rid of my acne and hyperpigmentation from the scarring.
Hi i have dry skin which cream is good for my skin and i have little bit open pores and i did them visble after uesd something thts eas not for my skin i just uesd water for my dkin before
Can I use Azelaic acid for melasma? .. My skin is discolored from the top of my nose to my forehead and side face is discolored. I am an African dark-skinned carrying around my discolored face for ages...
Dr Bunting, my daughter age 15 had Covid19 over Easter and it seems to have triggered Rosacea which has not settled down. She has a lot of deep redness on her cheeks and is getting some broken capillaries. Would Azelaic work for someone her age?
Love your comprehensive videos .. I have been using a online Rx from cureology for my aging skin .. Tretinoin.04%/ Azelaic acid 4% and clindemycin combo sandwiches between first aid beauty moisturizer and your flawless revival mask … I use vitamin c / Matrixyl 300 and a moisturizer with nicinamide in the am .. would love to add more Azelaic acid in the am .. for my facial melasma and slight redness (I am very fair )what Azelaic acid product would you recommend to add to my AM routine that still works well under foundation and under spf
This woman knows her onions! I had not realised Azelaic Acid is good for dark areas. I have used it for a while for rosacea and know it is in Nightly and Brightly serum but might put a bit more on the sun damaged areas. My blackheads are definitely less since using this. Thanks for all the great info as always.
Great video !! Can I use finacea in this order : niacinamide, alpha arbutin and finecea ? I noticed when I use it this way my skin feels a lot less dry and I don’t get this itchy feeling I get when I use financea alone .
Thank you Dr. I have rosacea and dermatitis...how should I introduce azelaic acid in my routine? Everyday? And do I out It First or After my moisturizer (cerave lotion)? Thank you again
As much as 2 times a day AM & PM. That’s how much she uses it & it’s at 10%, and not a prescriptive strength. I do too and my brand is called The Ordinary. Very reasonable price! She likes the brand too. She has other UA-cam videos on Azelaic
Can Vbeam laser help for rosacea redness on face without destroying the hair follicle??? I am a male and I dont want to loose my facial hair/mustache/beard

Where can I get it from and please tell me the name of it? 🙏
Try out the 15% gel formulation! It's said to be more potent than the 20% cream one. Dr. Idriss has talked about this on UA-cam as well.
How long would you say it took to notice a difference using azelaic acid?

There is a doctor who treats African-American people and herself with azelaic acid for melasma 😘

Dr Bunting, my daughter age 15 had Covid19 over Easter and it seems to have triggered Rosacea which has not settled down. She has a lot of deep redness on her cheeks and is getting some broken capillaries. Would Azelaic work for someone her age?
What a wonderful video! So SO informative! Can azelaic acid possibly cause some purging :)? Thank you Dr.Sam
Love your comprehensive videos .. I have been using a online Rx from cureology for my aging skin .. Tretinoin.04%/ Azelaic acid 4% and clindemycin combo sandwiches between first aid beauty moisturizer and your flawless revival mask … I use vitamin c / Matrixyl 300 and a moisturizer with nicinamide in the am .. would love to add more Azelaic acid in the am .. for my facial melasma and slight redness (I am very fair )what Azelaic acid product would you recommend to add to my AM routine that still works well under foundation and under spf
Dr Bunting can you do a review on Particle Face cream for men. What they say it can do don't sound real
Love these videos! Very informative
This woman knows her onions! I had not realised Azelaic Acid is good for dark areas. I have used it for a while for rosacea and know it is in Nightly and Brightly serum but might put a bit more on the sun damaged areas. My blackheads are definitely less since using this. Thanks for all the great info as always.
Dr. Please what is your thought on AEP session. Basically clarity peel
Hello Dr.Sam can I use it to brighten my intimate are or inner thighs?
Can I use a hyaluronic acid serum first and then the azelaic acid ?
Hi could you do some video about hair care please

Thank you Dr. I have rosacea and dermatitis...how should I introduce azelaic acid in my routine? Everyday? And do I out It First or After my moisturizer (cerave lotion)? Thank you again

Can I apply AA gel to damp skin right after a shower?
Your videos saved me. Thank you so much and keep it up
How many times per week should I use it (OTC for example 10%) to give it a chance to work in a visible way (for pigmentation mainly)?
As much as 2 times a day AM & PM. That’s how much she uses it & it’s at 10%, and not a prescriptive strength. I do too and my brand is called The Ordinary. Very reasonable price! She likes the brand too. She has other UA-cam videos on Azelaic
was thinking abt going into that and u just downloaded ily
Well said Doc...I thank you.
Really useful video, thank you Dr Sam.
I have been using Azaleic Acid and enjoying it. What about using it at night after tretinoin?

outrageous prices ..
Can Vbeam laser help for rosacea redness on face without destroying the hair follicle??? I am a male and I dont want to loose my facial hair/mustache/beard
Look into BBL. I get it done for Rosacea but it is a treatment that you’ll need to maintain to keep up the results.
