Hey guys and welcome to todays video where we talk all things azelaic acid, my favourite skincare ingredient. I would love to know what your thoughts on azelaic acid is and any of your product recommendations so please leave me a comment below. Sending you all so much love xxxxxx
Hey Mad About Skin,
I loved your video! Actually I would even consider the Face Theory as affordable as the ordinary product, because I have to use less product per application. Of the creamy ordinary product I would use a pea sized amount, which is supposed to be 0,25 ml (number I found in a study about tooth paste) but 4 drops or ca. 1 ml (amounts stated on my vitamin D dropper bottle) of the face theory serum. Using those amounts the ordinary would last 120 days (7,20/120=0,06€ per application), face theory 300/600 days (25/300=0,08€ per application or 39/600=0,065€ per application). What do you think?
The FT i used for 9 months now, only 2x a week, due to sensitivity of my skin. I manage 2-3 FT retinol applications and max 2 azelaic acid applications per week. In my case I get pricked by 1000 needles for about 10-15 minutes after applying it. But the results are worth it even though I don't have any fun using it. This and the retinol and the vitamin c serum are probably the best of their kind on the market!!! Thanks for your FT code. X
Does you know possible for azelaic acid to surface sort of purging at first using?
I recently switched from The Ordinary 10% azelaic acid that didn't seem to do anything for my skin to the Face Theory 15% one. And I swear, no skin care product has ever made such a huge difference as that one. My boyfriend asked me why I was wearing make up when we were going hiking -I wasn't. I just have great skin nowadays. 😃 And I found that brand thanks to you btw!
OMG yay yay yay i am so so so glad you love it as much as me and its working so well for your skin.. Sending you so much love xxxx
Oooh, thank you, going to try that one.
Thanks ..Ordinary does nothing for my skin too
I prefer the one from inkeylist
You literally brighten my day when I watch your videos. You have a warm, intelligent demeanor and a fantastic community.
Aww thank you so so much Diana.. I honestly have the kindest subscribers on the whole of UA-cam... I hope you have had a great weekend and sending you so much love xxxx
My grey day turns sunny when I see you have posted a video💗💗Lots of love from the States💗💗
Awww thank you so so much hun.. I hope you have an amazing weekend to look forward to and sending you lots of love xxxxx
The face theory Azelaic acid is amazing!!!! And to be able to get 15% is even more amazing. Not only has it been helping with my spots of pigmentation, it has also helped to balance my skin type and improve the overall brightness and tone. I love using it was my retinol at night and on and off during the day. I’ve been using the Paulas Choice 10% for a while and thought it was good (it’s still is) but it can not compare to the face theory and how soothing and moisturizing it is because of the green tea and oats to use everyday, Paulas can’t touch that balance. Paulas is great as a spot treatment for breakouts because it has 2% salicylic acid and preventing hyperpigmentation of those spots for me as a dark skin girl. Thank you for introducing a skincare lover from US to such a good and quality UK brand like Facetheory!
You are so knowledgeable and also easy on the eyes and ears; I've been absolutely loving your channel! 😊
Awww thank you so so much hun your too kind and im sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi Rob! I love Azelaic Acid, it saved me! I used to apply a prescription gel (metronidazol) for my rosacea, but since I moved from México to France and I didn't bring my prescription because I lost it (in México I don't need it to buy it). Looking for an option B without a prescription, I discovered The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%. In fact, recently I bought my second tube and it seems that they changed the formula, because now it is more hydrating and easy to use with other products, it doesn't peel at all. It is better than before for sure. Now, since I discovered your videos some weeks ago, I'm dying to try the Face Theory Azeclear A15 Serum thanks to you. I'm going to order it as soon as I finish the one I have. Thanks for the recommendation!
I’m saving this to watch after work but I can immediately tell that the video has been titled wrong and should instead be ‘Rob fangirling about Azelaic Acid for 12 minutes’😂
Haha i demand a retitle lol xx
Haha i would be totall ok with renaming it that lol... hope work goes ok and sending you lots of love xxxx
Honestly, the active deserves it! 😍
Thank you! Been using The Ordinary for awhile. It’s just so-so. Ordered the 15% face theory . Thanks for the discount !!❤️
I’m excited to add this one soon even though I only get blackheads and no acne. I’m finding even the ingredients that are “beneficial for acne” still help my skin look even better. Sounds like it does a little bit of everything and protects the skin. Hopefully good for calming after derma rolling 2😃. I’m going to get the G&G A pad - been in my cart for awhile and ur video confirms!
Hi Rob I've been using the geek and gorgeous azelaic acid for months and it's great for my reactive, rosacea and eczema prone skin. Prior to that I used the garden of wisdom version, which is also a derivative and more of a gel like formulation. I prefer the serum version from g&g tbh. I use this every morning and my retinoid most nights. If I'm missing out my retinoid due to sensitivity that day, I also use the azelaic acid at night. I pair mine with a niacinamide containing product (currently the cosrx dual chamber snail and niacinamide essence) with excellent results. I will move to a higher strength if this starts to become not quite enough, but currently it's working well with no irritation. Azelaic acid can be quite difficult to formulate well and some products have a gritty texture - the derivative is much smoother and easier to use normally in a pleasant serum like texture. This was my main issue with the ordinary version - it's gritty. Best wishes.
I’ve had the Face Theory azelaic acid on my to try list for a while...I’m sold! Have also had Garden of Wisdom Azelaic Acid on the same list. It is a derivative so maybe more gentle to start with. Excellent video! 💋
Great review as always. Off to order more Face Theory!
I love Azelaic Acid! It's one of the underrated ingredients that people have been sleeping on. I feel like we need more Azelaic Acid products because what we can buy right now are very expensive - i was prescribed a 20% Azelaic Acid cream, and although it was cheap as hell, but the texture was unpleasant, it pilled like crazy.
As of now, i'm simplifying my skincare routine and only use BPO and Adapalene to treat my acnes, PIH and PIE. BPO gel was the most irritating thing i've ever put on my face, but now that i use the cleanser version, it's not irritating at all. Adapalene is so gentle on my skin. I expected it to be as irritating as BPO, but i have never experienced any irritation at all. It feels like putting a regular gel on my face. No irritation, no stinging, no purging. Hopefully i see results from it because i started to use it a few days ago.
Perfect timing! I am looking at the way to add it in my routine! Thanks!
Its a total pleasure hun and i hope you enjoy it.. let me know what you think when you have used it... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Thank you so much for your videos on azelaic acid. I discovered that Niod re pigment has an azelaic acid derivative in it formulation. This product
has cleared my rosacea pigmentation. I still have a little bit on my nose (worst affected area and I still get the occasional flare up), but the rest of my face is completely clear. I mix 3-4 drops in with the inkey list collagen booster or hylamide subq skin, this gives me better spreadably. For the pustules from my rosacea I was prescribed doxycycline, which cleared the pustules in a week but left the pigmentation. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to try this product. This has become my holy grail.
I've just ordered the Face theory one - thanks for the code. I've tried the ordinary's and I think I tried the inkey list one as well but the ordinary one just sat on top of my skin and couldn't apply moisturiser over it even. Terrible - it all pilled up. The inkey list one didn't impress either. Hopefully I'll like this one. At least now I have a few recommendations to try out next if it doesn't. Both myself and my teenage daughter were using it. It has so many great benefits. Thanks for sharing Rob.
Thanks for this one! I guess I should be looking at adding this to my routine soon !
Its a pleasure hun and I hope all is amazing with you... sending you lots of love xxxx
I have never considered Azelaic acid for my skin as I thought it just helps with rosacea. I dont have acne but I am now considering it for smoothening and improving skin tone. Thank you so much for another great recommendation, Rob. TGIF! Have a wonderful weekend ahead. xxx
OMG i am totally with you hun TGIF for sure... I think you will love it, its one of those ingredients which works wonders even if you dont have rosacea so i would recommend it for sure.. I hope you have an amazing weekend hun xxxxxxx
I just bought the one from face theory, thank you for the discount code!
I hope I will like it as much as you do.
Great video!
Sending lots of love from the Netherlands xoxo
Oh amazing and i am so glad the code came in useful.. i cant wait to hear what you think of it.. sending you lots of love xxxx
Thanks for the video!! I love learning about skincare ingredients 😻
Awww its a total pleasure hun thank you so so much for watching and for all your support ... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hi Rob, another informative video! Love your channel. ❤ How does Azalaic Acid compare to Tranexamic Acid in regards to fading hyperpigmentation?
Another great video! My favourite skincare channel :)
I’m moving away from strong acids as I tackle hyperpigmentation and congested skin. I’m currently trying Paulas Choice BHA, and I’ve been looking for a azelaic acid treatment to add to my routine. Timely video❣️
The paulas choice is really good but so expensive. I used it for 7 months . Im gonna try the face theory one bit cheaper
Doin' my part for the UA-cam algorithm! 🌹🌹
I seriously think this ingredient as well as Bakuchiol should be the ingredients of the year!!
Totally agree Rob! The PC azelaic acid is soo good, it’s one of the few products where I visibly notice a difference in my redness overnight. And it makes my skin feel so smooth 💕 The price does pain me a little though 😅
Haha Paula's Choice would be some of my go to products if they didn't have that massive price tag lol.. Their azelaic acid is amazing though.. Sending lots of love xxxx
Love this video! I've been battling with mild perioral dermatitis around my nose after getting a bit too enthusiastic with skincare last year and am now soo careful with introducing anything new. I still have a stripped back routine focusing on hydration as my skin is very dry, but after trawling all reviews and product options for Azelaic Acid I decided to try the facetheory one. Oh my god, I've been using it for about a month now and it really has been amazing. I've buffered it and put it over my face oil and moisturiser, and only use it every two days, it still stung the first few applications but this has reduced with time. The most noticeable difference for me is that it has reduced my skin's reactivity to products, it's less itchy and irritated, and even with my buffering it, there is slow reduction in my hyperpigmentation. LOVE it and so glad to hear you rave about it too! Go easy if you have finickity skin I say! :) xx
Those it cleared your hyperpigmentation? My skin got darker cuz of lazer session and I have hope this will help get back my skin tone.
Thanks for this video! I was having a hard time finding affordable azelaic acid products that have a nice texture. I’m excited to try out the face theory serum!
Its a pleasure hun and I hope you love it as much as i do... sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi Rob! I've tried Geek & Gorgeous aPad and loved it! The light texture, the low irritation rate, the flexibility of usage.. I just add it to my routine regarless it is AM or PM skincare 🤩 My skin is hyper sensitive so sometimes I have to mix it with my mouisturaizer, but that's just my unfortunate skin, alas! Other than that, I would suggest it to all beguinners with sensitive combo/oily skin 🌸
Thanks for writing this Laura! Would love to know what else you use in your routine. I was about to get The Ordinary 10% one, but would hate the Pilling and stinging, so may well give this a go. Is it UK based or ship from afar? I currently use a gentle cleanser, aveeno moisturiser, and adapalene/epiduo on alternate nights. I'm due to start tretinoin instead, and will eed to be really gentle, but wondering about this A Pad on alternate nights in order to keep microbes at bay. I'm super sensitive skin with occasional breakouts, seemingly oily/combo but probably dehydrated. The adapalene and epiduo seem to leave my skin upper shiny even without oil, and I can't understand why apart from they're stripping the skin. Sorry for my ramblings! Anyone else seeing this please weigh in! . Hope to hear about your routine soon :)x
I look forward to trying azelaic acid.
Thank you for another great upload. Happy weekend! ❤
Happy weekend hun, i hope you have had an amazing week.. Thank you so much and sending you so much love xxxxx
I live your recommendation on FaceTheory Azeclear! Beautiful! Thank you❤️❤️
Aww thank you and i am so glad your loving it as much as me.. I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxx
I’m loving facetheory! The azeclear serum was out of stock when I was shopping on their site but I was more drawn to the porebright serum because niacinimide is my holy grail ingredient but low and behold the porebright has azelaic acid in it too! So ding ding ding! Win win for me!
Haha ding ding ding for sure hun and i love Face Theory so much, their products are total holy grails for me... sending you so much love xxxxx
Great video Rob! I actually just tried Face Theory's Azeclear which seems to itch and burn a litte for about half an hour afterwards... No allergic reactions on my patch test though- keep using or try a weaker one?
Thanks again for the video
I’ve been really wanting to try the Dr. Sam Bunting’s azelaic acid cream but have sooooo much other skincare to get through. Thank you for this! I probably need to try this ingredient for my hormonal acne but am loving copper peptides and retinol in the pm and alternating and vitamin c and aha/bha in the am. Don’t know where to fit this hahaa . Happy Friday!💕
Thanks for this Rob! I'm only starting out so I will try the revolution moisturiser before the face theory just see see how things go x
Thank you so so much for sharing and sending you so much love xxxxx
Yes! Starting my 20% AzA a couple years ago was the thing that has done the most for my skin! Great video as always.
Edit: Something else I'll add. I'm thinking this is eventually going to become more available (non-Rx) in the next few years like we saw with salicylic acid.
Thank you so so much for sharing and we need to get the message out there that azelaic acid rocks lol... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Thank you, very informative. I have used azelaic acid 10 % from Typology and great results!
Hi hun its no problem at all thanks for watching and the Typology one is amazing so good call.. sending you lots of love xxxx
Just ordered the facetheory one! Thanks for the code! Shipping to the US was only 5 bucks!! I ordered 2! Haha can't wait to use it! I e been using T.O. one so this one should be a smooth transition. Thanks again for the code and also for all the great info! Love your channel
I hope you love it so so much hun... its my go to for sure and I cant wait to hear what you think of it.. Sending you lots of love xxxx
I've just discovered your channel & just started using Face Theory's Porebright N20 serum with azelaic acid & niacinamide as I have rosacea & hyperpigmentation. I was using Dermatica with tretinoin as well but retinol is a bit too harsh for my rosecea. I used to use The Ordinary azelaic acid but I couldnt bear the stinging, prickly feeling which went on for several minutes & not just a few seconds. The Face Theory serum definitely suits my skin so much better sensitivity-wise & it's keeping my rosacea & hyperpigmentation in check ✔️
hun as always highly specific and useful content. This ingredient and your recommended products have been in my list for a while, but still have the ordinary to finish before I get face theory or g&g
Beat me to it :) Happy Friday Hun x
Thank you so much for watching hun and wow you are early :) ... I love the ordinary price point but it pilled so bad on me so i hope you love whichever one you try after it :) sending you lots of love xxxxx
Garden of Wisdom also do a 12% PAD azelaic acid which is really good, as tested by myself lol xx
Great video , i actually wanted to see more reviews on azelaic acid! Thank you !!!! I actually purchased the Revolution Azelaic cream...have not tried it yet..i asked Revolution skincare about the % but they said they cannot reveal it! Now i know it is around 5% 🤗 But I was prescribed the 20% skinoren...i just cannot live without it ! It has made a huge difference on my skin !
Hi hun, i ws really impressed with the skinoren but its a little bit of a hassle to have to get the prescription so i usually use the face theory 15% i would love it if the Skinoren was OTC.. Sending you lots of love xxxxx
I love using azaelic acid in my routine and I love to pair it with niacinamide
I have not been using this active because the one from The Ordinary pilled up terribly in my skincare routine. Looks like the Face Theory product is my favorite!
Hi Patti, Happy Friday hun and I hope you have had a great week... I agree the ordinary one pills so bad which is why i stopped using it, its such a shame as i love the price point of the product so much... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I once got prescription strenght acelaic acid from my dermatologist before I started doing a proper skincare routine and back then it really helped with my problem. I just recently though about that again and now I will get some for sure.
Thanks for this great review, Rob 😊 I tried the Paula's Choice version in the past but it didn't seem to do much for my skin in comparison to niacinamide. But I've been anxious to try out other formulations that might work better, especially the Dr. Sam's Brightly serum that has 10% azelaic acid.
OMG i have the Dr Sam one on order and i am so so excited to try it for sure so i will be doing a demo in an upcoming video... I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Dr Sams is brilliant
This is a fantastic help xx
Thank you so so much for watching and sending you lots of love xxxx
I just got some 15 % Skinoren but have yet to try. I'm actually surprised to see the Azeclear is available in Germany as well as the Skinoren is prescription only. Had I known earlier I'd probably have gone for that as it seems more like luxurious skincare as opposed to medical treatment :D
I've been using azelaic acid derivative serum for a couple of days now in conjunction with retinol to keep acne at bay. While it's only 10%, it's quite effective. I get less hormonal acne, and my skin looks healthier overall. Definitely going to be a staple in my routine 😁
I am so so glad its working so well for you hun :) I love a derivative as its so gentle... sending you lots of love xxxx
I've been using Adapalene for 2 months now (great results so far) but after seen your video I wonder if I could change to Azelaic Acic or incorporate it in my routine. It seems to have all benefits I'm looking for.
People in the US:
If you're looking for a PAD derivative (but it's hard to get Geek & Gorgeous), I really like Naturium's 10% Azelaic Acid Serum. It's affordable and uses the PAD azelaic acid derivative, niacinamide, vitamin c, and caffeine. So it's a nice multi-use product all in one step.
I don't have sensitive skin but pure Azelaic Acid makes my skin itch (unless I wait 20-60 minutes after the rest of my skincare routine -- but I'm too lazy for that). The Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD) derivative causes no irritation, stinging, or itching even if I apply it immediately after cleansing. It also might have the added benefit of sebum regulating, which is great for super oily skin like mine.
I went full on prescription strength after 1 year of TO &PC use. So far it's been good in a slow steady pace.
Oh amazing i am so glad its working for you hun.. i have been fine with the 20% prescription i have been using but here in the Uk it is difficult to get a prescription so i may go back down to my 15%... sending you lots of love xxxx
I've started using one acne cream prescribed from my dermatologist that contains 15% azelaic acid, and 1,5% salicylic acid. I am really excited to try it. I will update after some weeks if it helped with my acne and hyperpigmentation :)
Hi! My cheeks become more red in the morning after use aza every night for these 4days, the stings become bearable, should i decrease the frequent of use? Is it normal? Or will i get used to it the more im using? (Rosacea and acne problems)
I use the azclear 20% azelaic acid medicated lotion and it just works a treat! It’s OTC here in Australia too 😍
Omg that's amazing that you can get that strength OTC Australia rules.. Sending lots of love xxxx
Do you find that it help closed comedones ? Those small white bumps on your forehead or chin?
you should have so much more subscribers!
Awww thank you so so much hun and thank you for your love and support... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hun I absolutely love your videos. I was looking forward for your recommendation on azelaic acid. Thank you so much for going this video, I've been using the ordinary azelaic acid and I want to love it but every time I do it's just itchy and I don't like that feeling at all I know that is just for few seconds but after I apply it I need a really hydrating Moisturizer. I don't know if just leaving it at the fridge as you mention could help but I'm definitely going to try. And I was also wondering if the revolution skincare anti-blemish you recommend has any fragrance?
Hi hun thank you so so much for watching and I would try the fridge trick as it does help for sure... I think the revolution one does have fragrance which is a shame but they often do unfragranced versions so it may be worth a look to see if they do wherever you are... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Every time I watch a video, he references yet another video that piques my interest. So I've been on the 'puter for quite some time now! I do appreciate the info though - I hope to find "the dream team" of products to treat my oily, extremely sensitive, rosacea-plagued skin. (I do have a dermatologist - who hasn't helped). :/
I've been using skinoren with my tretinoin for a couple of months now, I'm normal combination tzone treating hyperpigmentation, my skin seems to have settled down a lot after introducing skinoren into my night time routine, I was always getting acne breakouts were my glasses sit but this seem to have reduced redness ( under eyes high cheek bone area and ' monkey mouth area ' ) and prevents breakouts. I'm loving it right now and I can clearly see a reduction in my hyperpigmentation. I used the face theory one aswell and loved it feels lovely and soothed my damaged skin barrier after tretinoin.
Did you use them in conjunction or layer them ?
Dr Sam Bunting swears by azelaic acid. I purchase my 20% Azelaic acid from Chemist Direct. The product is called Azclear. I have it shipped to the US. I can get several tubes for what 1 prescription would cost in the US. Great stuff.
Thank you so much for your recommendation hun, i have lots of her products on order so i cant wait to try them and review them... sending you lots of love xxxx

@@NYS30 I’ve never had that reaction. I suggest reducing frequency.
What are your thoughts on Touch Bright and Clear? It contains Azelaic acid, Tranexamic acid, Kojic acid, and Niacinamide.
Just got my facetheory order today thank you for bringing the brand to my attention ❤
Its a total pleasure hun and i hope you love their products as much as i do :) keep me posted on what you think xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin loving the products thank you so much especially the azeclear serum you recommended ❤
I tried azelaic acid booster from Paula's Choice, because of this video 😂
I know that it can cause skin purging, but have anyone experienced getting small red bumps that look like fungal acne, but doesn't hurt only itching from azelaic acid?
Hi Rob! Thank you for helping me understand my Azelaic acid! Do you have any thoughts on Naturiums Azelaic ? ( it’s what I’ve got right now).
@Kelly Aggas Naturium just came out with a 10% Azelaic Emulsion...an improvement over the serum! Check out their website. And it’s only $20 USD!
I absolutely love my azelaic acid. I didn't know that azelaic acid was an antioxidant but good to know
Thanks so much for watching hun and i hope all is amazing with you.. I know its just a wonder Ingredient which does it all lol.. Sending lots of love xxxx

I use The Ordinary one as a spot treatment and it's been great! It's terrible as an all-over face treatment though lol. (The heavy silicone base makes it super hard to work with.)
Those it lightens your skin , I got hyperpigmentation cuz of lazer session and my skin become darker would this help me to get back my skin color?
Azelaic acid...I have been trying for the last few hours to remember what the name of this acid was and then your video pops up and I go...yes, that's it! Lol
Haha thats amazing timing for sure... happy Friday hun and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Oh you're testing myself control lol. I have the ordinary azelaic acid in my closet, but I'm only allowing myself to try one new product at a time to see if it's actually making a difference in my skin or not. So I'm finishing up a tube of the inkey list bakuchiol that I use in my morning routine first, before I open up the AA.
How is the bakuchiol? 😊
@@arcticskuas I've been using it in the mornings for almost 2 months now. I like it. It's more like a lightweight serum moisturizer although the oil in it is OK for my oily acne prone skin in the winter time. I think it is too rich for me for the summer months. The scent is unusual but doesn't bother me. I would recommend it for someone who can't do retinol. It may be helping a little for my fine lines.
NIOD RePigment include also some kind of azelaic acid derivative. A bit like the Geek & Gorgeous.
I know you love it from your DECIEM video. 😂
Otherwise, totally agree with you FaceTheory is the best and thank you for the 25% code 😍👍🏻
I use the skinorem 20% and ditched the ordinary azelaic acid. So far, I think it has been fading my PIH and keeping closed comedones at bay. Although, most people say it gets along with other products, I do not think it goes well with vitamin C and its derivatives. I notice slight irritation when I pair them together. What are your thoughts.
Is it ok to use with copper peptides? I splurged on Niod’s copper peptide serum after watching you rave about it but I stopped my azelaic at night as I thought they conflicted. So I’d love to bring it back if I can.
Hi Rob! Hope you are enjoying a beautiful spring day!🌼 Do you apply azelaic acid morning and night? And is it compatible with copper peptides and peptides in general?
Hi hun, its go gorgeous here and I think Spring is finally here for sure... I use it in the evening and with my copper peptides with no problem as it is compatible with them... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I’m currently trying the Cos de Baja 10% Azeleic Acid serum. I finally received my Face Theory 15% that I had to order from the UK site. So far I’m liking the Cos de Baja but I want to move on to the Face Theory. I also don’t mind the Ordinary one at night, but wanted to try a serum base.
How do you find Cos de Baja AA? Is it effective?
@@jennycheng4478 I really liked it but I moved on to the FT 15% one. I have to order it from the UK site since only the 10% is available in the US.
I bought the face theory exa-glow serum which I am enjoying. Wonder if it would be too much to add their azelic serum to the mix? I have melasma and it’s the bane of my existence
Please do a Dr Sam's review! A lot of her products incorporate azelaic acid into them. Want to know if they're as good as they sound! X
Hi hun, i have so many of her products on order and i cant wait to try them out for a review... sending you lots of love xxxx
I've tried the ordinary azelaic acid but I would not recommend. Like it was said it's difficult to use daily and the Formular wasn't something I loved either. Thank you for the other recommendations I might try the moisturizer from the Revolution.
Hi hun, I totally agree with you and I would recommend the revolution one and I hope it works for you... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Dr. Sam has an excellent azeliac acid serum. Brightly Serum and Nightly Serum ( with HPR). Brightly has azelaic acid, niacinimide, and backuchiol. One of my favorites!
Hi hun thank you so much for the recommendation and i hope all is amazing with you.. I actually have lots of Dr Sam products on order and i am so excited to try them out... sending you lots of love xxxx
Thanks for your brilliant video.
What are your thoughts on glycolic acid?
Hi hun, I love it but its on the stronger side for acids so I wouldn't recommend it for people with sensitive skin... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Ooooh so interesting! I don't have acne per se, but I do have "congested" skin sometimes, especially on my nose. I also get some blemishes during my cycle (TMI sorry). So, thinking of maybe trying this? Thanks for chatting about Azelaic acid. I never knew any of this information!
Did you try it?
@@monicapatton1405 No, apparently Canadians can't buy it over the counter.
@@marilynmoreno9688 oh no!
Love Azelaic acid. It’s been fading my hyperpigmentation and making my overall complexion more even. I’m using 15% prescription Finacea.
Hi Tina, i hope you have had a great week and i cant believe its the weekend already, it seems to have come around so quickly.. I agree with you it has done so much for my hyperpigmentation for sure and i am loving it... are you using the foaming version, i have seen it but never tried it.. sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin Hi Rob!! Hope you’re having a great week too! Can’t wait for the chat tomorrow. I’m using the gel version.
@@tina_smt oh i didnt know they did a gel version thanks for letting me know and i can't wait to chat to you live later :) xxx
Could azelic acid help me got back my skin color which got darker cuz of lazer session ? Please reply
Thank you for all your information! How does azelaic acid work with peptides?
Hi hun, it is fine to work alongside peptides they work well together... sending you lots of love xxxx
Has anyone use the ordinary one under spf? I don't like to use vitc on work days it makes my glow like really GLOW!!!
Love paulas choice AA, it has helped with my dark spots
Thank you so so much for sharing and sending you lots of love xxxxx
I’m using one from Revox skincare , I think they are from Hungary, it’s affordable, cheaper than the ordinary, and lighter texture.
Thank you so so much for sharing hun and I have some products from them on order and I cant wait to try them... sending you lots of love xxxx
There's a brand of pimple cream called AZCLEAR in Australia over the counter (no script needed) and it's 20% azelaic acid. Chemist Warehouse $14.99 for 25g tube
I have not tried Dr Sam Bunting's Brightly Serum but it looks like quite a good all-rounder - it has 10% azelaic acid and 5% niacinamide!
Hi hun thank you so much for watching.. I agree it looks amazing and i have it on order and can't wait to try it.. Sending you so much love xxxxx
Thanks for a great video. Is there another Face Theory code since this 25% code is not working?
Hi Rob! Is it a good idea to use azelaic acid serum and retinol serum for acne and hyperpigmentation? I saw that its meant to help but I'm scared that it will be too irritating. Lots of love xx
Hi hun I would use both for the best results with hyperpigmentation for sure... to make sure its not too irritating use one am and one pm .. this works for me so well... sending you lots of love xxxx
Also, the geek and gorgeous apad is only 6% Potassium Azeloyl diglycinate. The 20% comes from the "azeclair" solution which they came up with themselves, which is a mixture of the pad and some other ingredients. They released a statement on their website explaining this a little while ago xx
Thank you so so much for sharing hun and its such a good product if you want a super gentle strength product which doesnt contain too high a strength... sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin oh of course I'm not dissing it in any way, I love it! One of my favourite formulas 😊 xx
I literally JUST bought azelaic acid since finding out I have rosacea, and it came in the mail yesterday! The timing of this couldn't have been more perfect :) Time to stop typing and pay attention to the video lol
Oh amazing and i am sure you will love it... let me know what you think of it after you have tried it... sending you lots of love xxxx
Those it lightning your skin ?
Can you please do a review on Dr. sam bunting’s Brightly serum & Nightly serum?The brightly has 10% azelaic And nightly has 5%. The ingredients look really promising. Thankyou!!! ❤️
My skin enjoys A Pad from Geek and Gorgeous but I want to try Face Theory too.
I love both so much.. The Face Theory one is amazing but it's quite high strength so maybe alternate every other night with the geek and gorgeous.. Sending you so much love xxxx
Hey Zoeberry. I'm wanting to start this and as I'm very sensitive, I'm liking the sound of the G&G A Pad. I'm due to start using tretinoin (I've used adapalene and epiduo for about 6 months). Wondering if using the apartment in alternate nights to the tret is a good idea. Would you mind giving your experience with the a pad so far? Thanks in advance x
@@georgiaevans9978 Hi, I use A pad either on non retinol nights or before or after my vitamin C in the morning. Good luck!
Thanks for the video.)))
I didn't like The azelaic acid from Garden of Wisdom. But I like The Ordinary Azelaic suspension and Face Theory Azeclear.)))
The Skinoren is my favourite because I can feel it and because I can buy it without ordering online.And the price is good.
Thank you so so much for watching and sharing hun... sending you lots of love xxxxx
And I thank you for sharing your experience with us. ))) The pharmacist didn't believe me when I ask him for azelaic acid not for acne treatment but for my hyperpigmentation. Many people don't know anything about azelaic acid.))))
Thanks for discount code for Face Theory. I'll order more from them. I like the products.
Also I've just received my NIOD survival 30. And it's amazing!!!!! I am so happy with it. Thank you so so so much for recommendation.))))
I have a prescription for the skinoren 15% and I've noticed such a difference in my rosacea! It's fading the small lingering papules that the Soolantra wasn't able to clear fully and I feel like an adult now with my clearer skin in my early 30s! 😂
Thx for this very informative video, you made me order the azelaic acid from facetheory ☺️ 🙏🏻
Thank you so so much hun and I hope you love the azelaic acid from Face Theory as much as me so keep me posted on what you think ... sending you lots of love xxxxx
Will do, might take some time though. ☺️
Please can someone talk about the rank taste of a15 by facetheory! Ive accidently got it on my lips often and urgh its yucky!
Quick question, can I use PC bha 2% with this? If so, BHA first then azalaic? Thanks 😁 xxx
Did you see that FaceTheory came out with an Azeclear Serum A10? I can finally get their azelaic acid at 10% in the US!
The Ordinary has Azelaic Suspension 10%. It makes my face a bit itchy for about 5 minutes and I’ve just started so I use it every other day to ease in. I’m going to also try Face Theory.
OMG i didnt know that thank you so much for letting me know as i hope that will be avaliable in more countries.. Sending you lots of love xxxx
adding the face one to my basket rn!! :)
Thank you so so much for watching hun and sending you lots fo love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin thank YOU for this really helpful video. take care :)
Hi Rob I am looking at purchasing a azelaic acid, which one would you recommend for dry sensitive skin. How do you incorporate this in your skincare routine and can you use this with prescription trention. Thank you. Sending lots of love
Hi hun, I would start with the Geek and Gorgeous if you have dry skin as its the most hydrating and won't increase sensitivity alongside tret... I hope all is amazing with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
I've been using the Cos de BAHA azelaic acid 10% serum and I love it! It also has hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, B3 and B5... plus it's only $15 on Amazon! It's my first azelaic acid though, so I have nothing to compare it to. Maybe I'll try one of these next!
