Hey guys and welcome to today's video where we are talking all things azelaic acid and how to use it effectively in your skincare routine.. I would love to know your experience with azelaic acid so please leave me a comment below... Love you all so much xxxxx
AA is super effective for acne (for me). However, I got a lot of redness and sensitivity that became increasingly worse over a few months, so I stopped. As it turns out, my skin barrier is on the weak side and I’m prone to over hydration. So I eliminated all HA from my routine, and made sure not to layer hydrating products. Now I can tolerate azelaic acid, and other actives, much better.
@@awkwardgenxer1023 From what I understand, it’s not very common, unless you layer tons of products. For me though, it doesn’t take much at all to oversaturate my skin. Essentially, hydrating products start doing the opposite of what they need to do - the skin gets red, tingly, dry, parched-looking, and eventually begins to come off in huge flakes at an alarming rate.
@@MariyaMagija Wow! Thanks for sharing. I do layer a lot of products on. I will watch out for this-especially if I ever move to a climate that isn’t determined to dehydrate the life out of everything most of the year!
I have been using the FT azelaic acid for almost a year and I really liked it. Last week I received the Dermatica 20% azelaic acid cream, with ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol, vitamin A and squalane, all in an incredibly light, easily absorbed cream. I'm in love.🥰
I have sensitive skin and did what u said not to do 😂I jumped right into a 20% azelaic acid cream but I didn’t experience any tingling or irritation. Within a month my skin was clear! but of course with hormonal acne breakouts happen no matter what however I’m really happy with the progress and results but I switched to 10% simply because I like the formula better and with this I have experienced slight tingling that goes away in seconds after applying. I will never be without this acid in my skincare routine! and I naturally kept it in the fridge because it feels soothing Great video! 👍
My only experience with azelaic acid is with your serum which is gorgeous! Not just saying that because you’re my friend, I truly love it (and all of the MAS products).
Rob, I purchased the Facetheory Azeclear A10 Serum upon your recommendation and it has been a complete game changer for me! In the three months that I have been using it, my acne has been greatly reduced and my skin has never felt so smooth! Thank you so much for all you do! ❤️
Yay I am so so glad to hear this hun and I am so pleased its working so well for you.. one of my favourite products for sure... sending you lots of love xxxxx
I will forever tout AA as my holy grail product (along with my prescribed metrogel!). Rosacea redness and bumps have plagued my cheeks for years, but I gave AA a try before I was formally diagnosed and noticed a huge difference in just weeks. I will never be without it!
My skin did not respond well to azelaic acid serums. BUT, your serum is the PERFECT blend of ingredients and my skin is loving it. I can't wait to buy my back up bottle soon!! Love you Rob!❤❤❤❤
Thank you for covering concentration! The Ordinary was such a nightmare for me no matter what I tried. Now there is 2% mixed into my tret. I tolerate that much better even though it has tret! I am super excited to add your serum in the morning as soon as I use up my Beauty of Josen serum. Hope everyone is having a great week and staying safe!
I love azelaic acid, you turned me onto it and I've noticed a great improvement with dark spots over this past year. I have mature skin and it's in my routine to stay!
@@MadAboutSkin I started with I've Got You Covered serum, (love to the Gods)! I increased to 10%, and after a couple of trys with other formulations I found, Cos de BAHA. My skin really loves this formulation.
I've been using Melazepam (20% azelaic acid from Amazon) and it's been amazing. Definitely cleared up the stubborn hyperpigmentation that nothing else was moving. 😎💕
I’ve been using TO AA for a few months for my rosacea but sadly haven’t seen a noticeable improvement with the flare ups. Skin texture is possibly a bit better though. I’ve now bought the FT one to try and I’m hoping I’ll see better results with the higher concentration. 🤞🏼 You are my go to person for skincare advice, please keep the videos coming! x
@@mazzzzx Hi Maz. Unfortunately it didn’t work for me so I contacted FT who refunded me and suggested I try Centasoothe. I ordered some but only started using it recently so it’s too early to know if it will help. xx
I've been using azelaic 10% for a little more than two months with no results yet... I'm hoping it kicks in soon, since it's my derm's last resort before Accutane 😅

Man…I thought I LOVED AA. I Thought my skin loved it, cause I never had any issues after I put it on, or so I thought. For months my skin was getting soooo sensitive, and I was getting what I thought was heat rashes, almost everytime I was in the sun. I assumed it was from over exfoliating or from my retinol, so I kept stopping those. At one point I stopped everything for a month or 2, when I thought I could add stuff back in I started with a small amount of AA…….uh that first day, I went into the sun for about 10 min, came in side and my face was on fire and I looked like a tomato. It was then that I realized that entire time I was having issues before was cause I kept using AA…cause “my skin liked it” UGH!!! Zero issues now that I’ve totally stopped using it I’ve totally streamlined my skincare routine and and am keeping it simple. Trying new things just doesn’t seem worth it anymore, theres just too many products. My face and wallet were unhappy lol! Hydration, moisturizer, retinol and every once in a while exfoliating. I think people should be very careful with things like this…too many people hear it’s gentle and use it, and don’t realize they may be damaging their skin.
Hello and thank you for all your wonderful work ☺️ I use 15% Azelaic acid in the morning after my vit C serum but you got me wondering if I should start using it also in my night time routine...but could I use it before my tretinoin??
I've just started using TO 10% Azelaic acid in my night routine. I think I have rosacea although it's very minimum for now. Fortunately, I experienced no irritation, although the first morning It looked like my cheek and the little veins were redder than the day before, and even appeared to have a couple of white heads. After that all good, I'd even say it looks less red, but it's too early to tell. I use a small amount right after I cleanse and before my retinol in squalane.
I think you look great with those glasses! That frame really really suits you. I had very similar ones (yes, I don't mind if they're for men), but my prescription changed and couldn't find them again.
Hey, great suggestion, Rob, to put AA in fridge! Never thought of it cuz I only put serums in fridge, & I use the PC AA cream. I’m gonna try cuz it should feel so good - thanks!👍
I haven't gotten to azelaic acid, yet, but over time you've definitely convinced me that I need to! I've been working on nailing down my HG basics (moisturizers, etc) and retinoids, exfoliants, and Vitamin C serum first. I think I'm mostly there after....uh... let's say 3 years of learning about my skin and the huge variety of products out there!😆 My next ingredient I reeeeally want to incorporate is bifida ferment lysate -- something potent but gentle -- before moving on to azelaic acid. I'm trying to actually limit myself to only adding/changing one product at a time, but it's so hard sometimes!😆 I love how you talk about skincare being a long journey where we can always plan to up the number/concentration of actives as we age instead of trying to use ALL of them in our 30s!❤️
Happy Tuesday hun xxxxx azelaic acid has definitely been my favourite ingredient this year!! I didn’t know how amazing it made my skin feel until I used it :)) sending all the love in the world 💜💜💜
You helped me to get used to The Ordinary’s Azelaic acid that was very harsh on my skin when I first started. But the sandwich technique was the key, and that was an advice that I got from you. Now I was lucky enough and I got a hold of an Azelaic acid from a really good batch 😺😻😺 It doesn’t go grainy or super silicony like products with a lot of dimethacone sometimes do. To store the Azelaic acid in the refrigerator (maybe you even have a skincare fridge) is a very good idea. Some products like vitamin C and retinol benefit from being stored in a dark and cool place. Other products like toners in spray bottles, sheet masks, certain serums and moisturisers... and azelaic acid, gives additional nicer sensory experience with the slightly coldness on the skin. A very nice idea! Lots of love and positivity ✨💗✨💗✨ Always here to show support! ✌️😽💗
Thank you for introducing me into azelaic acid is one of my holy grail along with alpha arbutin on my hyperpigmentation journey 🤩 Revox azelaic acid texture was my favorite however I wanted to try something stronger and I started using FT lumizela along with exaglow in order to fade my hyperpigmentation Do you think I can layer the facetheory azelaic acid with the ordinary retinoid in emulsion ? It’s been one months since I started using FT azelaic acid and since yesterday I started TO retinoid in emulsion and I will use it every other day
You said don’t use Azealic acid with benzoyl peroxide . But can I use azealic acid in the morning and benZoyl peroxide in the night or would that dry me out ? Love your vids btw
Thank you for this! I’ve been considering Dr Sam’s Brightly serum for melasma/hyperpigmentation, but was concerned about the low % of vitamin C. I’m in Australia and C is important both as an antioxidant due to the sun here and also for the way that it supports SPF. Now that I know AA will play nicely with other actives I’ll try it alongside side my C15 booster from Paula’s Choice. Thanks again
Thank you for the great informational video! Quick question, I have been using the FT Lumizela A10 for 2 months now in the PM, First month, in PM 3 times per week and now 5 times for week. It has started to irritate my skin with burning and redness at the point to washing it off. Im curious, would it be a good idea to mix it with a mosturizer? Only new item I incorporated is the FT Exaglow Serum daily in AM. Also, I would love to look into the 5% serum! Thank you
I was wondering whether it’ll be fine to use a PHA alongside Azelaic Acid. I have sensitive combination skin which in these colder months tend to be combo-dry. There’s also a possibility I might have Rosacea. So that’s why I’m trying to aim for a more tolerable chemical exfoliant like pha but alot of people never mention it and I’m guessing for my rosacea I can start off with 10% AA? I’m just a little worried about the two paired together. I’ve tried AA before from Naturium’s emulsion but my pores looked huge and clogged when using it. I need some guidance here 😂 Loving your informative videos. They help a lot.
Hi Rob, I got prescribed 20% azaelic acid and 0.018% tret from an online derm and hoping to get some advice. I have very sensitive and dry prone hormonal acne type skin 😅 I have used AA and tret in the past and given up because of the irritation after using them. I am trying again and was wondering if you would recommend just starting with the AA first for awhile before starting the tret too?
Thanks for this, very useful . Does the facetheory one pair well with their tranexamic acid. Also does the facetheory one pair well with l’absorbic acid (vit c) ?
Hi rob hope u are well , this is off topic but I was wondering if i could alpha arbutin from the ordinary with your serum and if so what order do they go in Xx
Hi hun, so lovely to hear from you and I hope all is amazing with you... yes you absolutely could and they would work well together , I would use the AA first then follow with the MAS serum.. love you xxxx
Hi hun, they will give really good benefits when used together but you can use one or the other if you are looking to cut down.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
I use a 20% azelaic acid cream twice a day and it changed my skin so much to the better. I have combination/oily skin, no akne, but rosazea stage 2. I started once a day in the morning and after two month I began using it in the evening too. Normally my skin is very sensitive, but with azelaic acid I had no side effects whatsoever. Maybe after some time I'll change to a lower concentration for maintenance.
@@muhamadbintangwilistya2195 I use 10% niacinamide and Geek and Gorgeous C glow serum (15% ascorbic acid and ferulic acid) in the morning under my spf. And a retinal cream 2-3 times a week in the evening.
I have used TO, PC and azclear, didn't see any change in my skin nor felt tingling. Since the texture is not the most pleasant of TO and Azclear. I am enjoying your serum much more.
Oh I am so so glad your enjoying the serum hun and I know what you mean the texture on TO one is not the best.. I hope your having an amazing Wednesday and sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi Rob! I want to start azelaic acid due to developing rosacea (im mid 30's) i use mandelic acid in the evenings currently, how do i manouvre the two? Should i alternate days? Or can i use one AM one PM? Thank you so much for all of your advice ❤
Hi hun, you can actually use the two together without issue :) introduce the azealic acid first and after a couple of months use the mandolin acid a couple of times a week and you will have some great results.. love x
I’m not sure how much to use of the Facetheory Lumizela A10. The package directions say to use a few drops but it comes in a pump format. Since you’re familiar with this particular azelaic acid product does 1 pump equate to a few drops or a finger tip amount as you indicated in the video? Also is that amount recommended for face AND neck or is an additional finger tip length needed for the neck? Hope my questions make sense lol! Thank you in advance 🙏
I used azalaic acid from facetheory for a year no problem then 1 day I used it and put Sunday Riley ceramide cream on after and my face started burning and turning red it took hours for it to stop after I took it all off. I wonder what in the ceramide cream reacted with it
In my morning routine I alternate between the Regimen Lab Vitamin X serum and The Ordinary Buffet with Copper Peptides. I then use the facetheory Lumizela A10 serum. If you please, does the azelaic acid serum effect the efficacy of the copper peptides? Thank you very much for your expertise.
I need to watch this when life is a little less crazy but just wanted to say that the naturium azelaic serum (not the emulsion) is my HG product. I use it at night and have started adding the inkey list tranexamic night treatment with it.
@@MadAboutSkin thank you so much! I appreciate it! My father had surgery today and thankfully is now in the recovery unit. I feel like some extra self care tonight is in order. I’ve been slacking the past week because of the chaos! If you get a chance, I really do think those products play lovely together and I have found it to be effective so far. Doubling up with the night time vit c with those two products also!
Hi!! I found your video very respectful, but I wanted to ask one thing: what’s equivalent of the half of a finger tip of cream for liquid serum? It is 20% azelaic acid by Geek & Gorgeous.
Hi, what do u think about Re: Pigment and azelaic acid ,which works better, I've used re pigment. Not azeliac acid yet. I've pigmentation and skin of colour.
I ordered my first azelaic in slowember. Please guide me where to layer in my routine. AM FT tranexamic, VitC, pycnogenol,spf. PM alpha Arbutin, niacinamide, buffet, argirelline, amino acids, NMF or Hand cream, A game every second day. The other nights I use ,copper peptide, voicemail masque or lactic acid and hydrators. I want to use azelaic only as a spot treatment for sun pigmentation. Thank you hun.
Hi hun. Thanks so much for watching and im so glad your giving azelaic acid a try.. In both routines i would put it at the end of your serums before your creams.. I hope this helps and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Can I use Azelaic acid while using adapalene .1 + Benzol peroxide 2.5 ? Can I use it AZA in the mornings or should I do it on nights I don’t use A+BP ? Thank uuuu
hii, I use the revlox just azelaic acid 10% but I don't understand ho it is a 10% formula when azelaic acid is so far down at the ingridiens list, do you know anything about that? Love your vidos btw 🥰
I have ordered the Facetheory azelaic acid! Every morning I like to use a benzoyl peroxide facewash (Panoxyl). Can I keep using this when I start using the azelaic acid? You mentioned not to combine these ingredients, or does that only count for a leave on BP? I also ordered the Facetheory Exaglow serum! I have no idea where to place these two in my routine haha… if you have any tips maybe? I just use BP facewash and sunscreen in the morning, and a “normal” facewash and moisturizer at night. Sometimes an exfoliant. Thank you!
Hey what order have u Been using them in? I'm in the same predicament as ive order both a.a and tranexmic acid serum from facttheiry and was wondering if I could use thek both one after the other In the pm and then only use a vitamin c in the am
@@muslimaax Hi! I stopped using them because I think I was using a bit too much at once. I didn’t enjoy the azelaic acid serum because of the consistency. I think that one was a bit too irritating for my face, and I noticed it gave me a lot of redness/flushing the next day, when I would use my other products. Facetheory told me to not use both serums at the same time as it could be irritating too much. I think you could try one first, like the azelaic acid, leave a few days in between, and try it again. See slowly how you like it! When you get more used to the azelaic acid serum, try the tranexamic acid on its own, and see how that goes. So, I wouldn’t use them both in the Pm. I would start with one. It might take some time to get used to the azelaic acid alone. I also was using vitamin C in the morning at that time, and everything combined was too irritating for me/too complicated. Good luck! 🌻
P.s. I dont think they are bad products, I just was using a combination of too many things I think. Sometimes we want things to go faster, and it has the opposite effect ;).
And what about moisterizing before or after azelaic acid? Ik have a prescription of 20 percent azelaic acid but I'm too worried that it would give me side effect. Ik have very sensitive (combo) skin
Amazing video, but I'm Using azaelic acid since 1st Jan 2022, facing more redness n texture on my face.. What to do I'm clueless. Also using tretinoin 0.05
I am not a dermatologist, yet this might help u. Please note that Tretinoin is way more stronger than Azelaic acid. Now u should use one of them and reduce the number of usage to maybe twice a week - depends on how irritate ur skin gets. Try to moisturise ur skin using cicaplast from la roche posay cause It will help ur skin barrier and to calm any irritation.
I've bought an azelic asid product of 20% concentration not knowing only through this video and it burns my skin what should I do how to lower the concentration I've rinsed my face off for now and wnt to use again properly
No. It"s a full silicone suspension, very difficult to layer w other products (and impossible to mix), and an unpleasant feeling. Try REVOX 10%, a fresh, light cream-gel, no fragance. I love other TO products.
Hi hun , I dont like the formulation of TO one so I would go fro the revox one instead which is the same price with a better formulation.. love yo xxxx
AA dosen't it have a low ph so you need to buffer before you put it on and after ? Or am I totally wrong. I would love to be wrong here, since it will make my routine shorter 😊
It's because of the dense silicone formulation. TO needs to reformulate it. Try REVOX 10% Azelaic Brightening Solution. It's a delicious cream-gel, very light and fresh, with no fragance. And half the price, but superb.
Oh gosh I am so sorry to hear that bu it might be the silicones in it so I would switch to another formulation like the revox one which might work better... sending you lots of love xxxx

Happy Tuesday Chris... I hope your keeping warm and having an amazing start to the week.. love and hugs from a snowy Hampshire xxxxxx
You helped me to get used to The Ordinary’s Azelaic acid that was very harsh on my skin when I first started. But the sandwich technique was the key, and that was an advice that I got from you.
Now I was lucky enough and I got a hold of an Azelaic acid from a really good batch 😺😻😺 It doesn’t go grainy or super silicony like products with a lot of dimethacone sometimes do.
To store the Azelaic acid in the refrigerator (maybe you even have a skincare fridge) is a very good idea.
Some products like vitamin C and retinol benefit from being stored in a dark and cool place. Other products like toners in spray bottles, sheet masks, certain serums and moisturisers... and azelaic acid, gives additional nicer sensory experience with the slightly coldness on the skin. A very nice idea!
Lots of love and positivity ✨💗✨💗✨ Always here to show support!

Oh thats so so amazing and thank you for sharing.. sending you so much love, positivity and hugs xxxxx

Thank you for introducing me into azelaic acid is one of my holy grail along with alpha arbutin on my hyperpigmentation journey 🤩
Revox azelaic acid texture was my favorite however I wanted to try something stronger and I started using FT lumizela along with exaglow in order to fade my hyperpigmentation
Do you think I can layer the facetheory azelaic acid with the ordinary retinoid in emulsion ? It’s been one months since I started using FT azelaic acid and since yesterday I started TO retinoid in emulsion and I will use it every other day
I’m sooo excited for this video!
Thank you so so much for watching hun and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Agree it is an unsung hero. I use it in the morning, in your Got You Covered Serum, and at night as part of my Skin+Me serum.
Yaya i am so so glad its working so well for you hun and sending you so so much love xxxxx
You said don’t use Azealic acid with benzoyl peroxide . But can I use azealic acid in the morning and benZoyl peroxide in the night or would that dry me out ? Love your vids btw
Hi hun, yes you can totally use them in opposite skincare routines.. love x

Hi I wanted to ask can I use AA with hydrating products…if I can , then should I apply AA first or hydrating serum first?
Thank you for this! I’ve been considering Dr Sam’s Brightly serum for melasma/hyperpigmentation, but was concerned about the low % of vitamin C. I’m in Australia and C is important both as an antioxidant due to the sun here and also for the way that it supports SPF. Now that I know AA will play nicely with other actives I’ll try it alongside side my C15 booster from Paula’s Choice.
Thanks again
Thank you for the great informational video! Quick question, I have been using the FT Lumizela A10 for 2 months now in the PM, First month, in PM 3 times per week and now 5 times for week. It has started to irritate my skin with burning and redness at the point to washing it off. Im curious, would it be a good idea to mix it with a mosturizer? Only new item I incorporated is the FT Exaglow Serum daily in AM. Also, I would love to look into the 5% serum! Thank you
I was wondering whether it’ll be fine to use a PHA alongside Azelaic Acid. I have sensitive combination skin which in these colder months tend to be combo-dry. There’s also a possibility I might have Rosacea. So that’s why I’m trying to aim for a more tolerable chemical exfoliant like pha but alot of people never mention it and I’m guessing for my rosacea I can start off with 10% AA? I’m just a little worried about the two paired together. I’ve tried AA before from Naturium’s emulsion but my pores looked huge and clogged when using it. I need some guidance here 😂 Loving your informative videos. They help a lot.
Hi Rob, I got prescribed 20% azaelic acid and 0.018% tret from an online derm and hoping to get some advice. I have very sensitive and dry prone hormonal acne type skin 😅 I have used AA and tret in the past and given up because of the irritation after using them. I am trying again and was wondering if you would recommend just starting with the AA first for awhile before starting the tret too?
Thanks for this, very useful . Does the facetheory one pair well with their tranexamic acid. Also does the facetheory one pair well with l’absorbic acid (vit c) ?
Hi rob hope u are well , this is off topic but I was wondering if i could alpha arbutin from the ordinary with your serum and if so what order do they go in Xx
Hi hun, so lovely to hear from you and I hope all is amazing with you... yes you absolutely could and they would work well together , I would use the AA first then follow with the MAS serum.. love you xxxx
You mentioned you can use vit c and AA together, but if they do a lot of the same stuff, would it be kind of redundant to use both?
Hi hun, they will give really good benefits when used together but you can use one or the other if you are looking to cut down.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
This was really helpful Rob, thank you! 😊 x
Its a pleasure hun love you lots xxxx
Azelaic acid should be applied before moisturizer or after moisturizer?
Before is how I use it.. hope this helps x
I use a 20% azelaic acid cream twice a day and it changed my skin so much to the better. I have combination/oily skin, no akne, but rosazea stage 2. I started once a day in the morning and after two month I began using it in the evening too.
Normally my skin is very sensitive, but with azelaic acid I had no side effects whatsoever.
Maybe after some time I'll change to a lower concentration for maintenance.
Did u use AA only on your skincare routine or using any Ingredients to like niacinamide, tretinoin, etc for maximizing bright to your skin?
@@muhamadbintangwilistya2195 I use 10% niacinamide and Geek and Gorgeous C glow serum (15% ascorbic acid and ferulic acid) in the morning under my spf. And a retinal cream 2-3 times a week in the evening.
I have used TO, PC and azclear, didn't see any change in my skin nor felt tingling. Since the texture is not the most pleasant of TO and Azclear. I am enjoying your serum much more.
Oh I am so so glad your enjoying the serum hun and I know what you mean the texture on TO one is not the best.. I hope your having an amazing Wednesday and sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin TO azelaic acid has a thick consistency I feel tugging my skin when applying it.
Great informative video! I’ve been using AZ for 5 years and not planning on quitting! Can I use AZ with copper peptide?
Yay I am so so glad its working so well for you.. yes you can use it no problem with copper peptides.. love you xxxxx
Hi Rob! I want to start azelaic acid due to developing rosacea (im mid 30's) i use mandelic acid in the evenings currently, how do i manouvre the two? Should i alternate days? Or can i use one AM one PM? Thank you so much for all of your advice ❤
Hi hun, you can actually use the two together without issue :) introduce the azealic acid first and after a couple of months use the mandolin acid a couple of times a week and you will have some great results.. love x
I’m not sure how much to use of the Facetheory Lumizela A10. The package directions say to use a few drops but it comes in a pump format. Since you’re familiar with this particular azelaic acid product does 1 pump equate to a few drops or a finger tip amount as you indicated in the video? Also is that amount recommended for face AND neck or is an additional finger tip length needed for the neck? Hope my questions make sense lol! Thank you in advance 🙏
Thank you I am starting with azelaic acid this is very helpful
Hi hun, thank you for watching and I am so so glad you found the video useful... sending you so so much love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin thank you soo much you're so sweeeeeet ❤
I used azalaic acid from facetheory for a year no problem then 1 day I used it and put Sunday Riley ceramide cream on after and my face started burning and turning red it took hours for it to stop after I took it all off. I wonder what in the ceramide cream reacted with it
Oh gosh i have no idea but i hope your skin is ok now.. Sending you lots of love xxxx
In my morning routine I alternate between the Regimen Lab Vitamin X serum and The Ordinary Buffet with Copper Peptides. I then use the facetheory Lumizela A10 serum. If you please, does the azelaic acid serum effect the efficacy of the copper peptides? Thank you very much for your expertise.
Super helpful! Thank you
Thank you so much for watching and sending you lots of love xxxxx
I just used it for the first time and i didn't feel any tingling or burning, started with 10%
I need to watch this when life is a little less crazy but just wanted to say that the naturium azelaic serum (not the emulsion) is my HG product. I use it at night and have started adding the inkey list tranexamic night treatment with it.
Oh thank you so so much for the recommendation hun... I hope all is wonderful with you and sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin thank you so much! I appreciate it! My father had surgery today and thankfully is now in the recovery unit. I feel like some extra self care tonight is in order. I’ve been slacking the past week because of the chaos! If you get a chance, I really do think those products play lovely together and I have found it to be effective so far. Doubling up with the night time vit c with those two products also!
Would your advice be the same as this for using tranexamic acid? Are they both very similar? Thanks xx
Hi hun, yes it would but you dont need to keep it in the fridge with the tranexamic acid.. love you xxxx
Hi!! I found your video very respectful, but I wanted to ask one thing: what’s equivalent of the half of a finger tip of cream for liquid serum? It is 20% azelaic acid by Geek & Gorgeous.
Thank you so so much hun and its the equivalent of one pump.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
How and where to order azelaic acid serum
Why do you apply it in the morning and not evening? If it’s got an exfoliating effect to it, would it be better in the evening?
Hi, what do u think about Re: Pigment and azelaic acid ,which works better, I've used re pigment. Not azeliac acid yet. I've pigmentation and skin of colour.
I ordered my first azelaic in slowember. Please guide me where to layer in my routine. AM FT tranexamic, VitC, pycnogenol,spf. PM alpha Arbutin, niacinamide, buffet, argirelline, amino acids, NMF or Hand cream, A game every second day. The other nights I use ,copper peptide, voicemail masque or lactic acid and hydrators. I want to use azelaic only as a spot treatment for sun pigmentation. Thank you hun.
Hi hun. Thanks so much for watching and im so glad your giving azelaic acid a try.. In both routines i would put it at the end of your serums before your creams.. I hope this helps and sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin done
Hello! Which strength would you recommend for dark spots on the forearm (sun damage)?
Can I use Azelaic acid while using adapalene .1 + Benzol peroxide 2.5 ? Can I use it AZA in the mornings or should I do it on nights I don’t use A+BP ? Thank uuuu
I just ordered the apad serum and am excited to try
Yay that's one of my favourites and i hope it works so well for you.. Let me know what you think of it.. Sending you lots of love xxxxx

Hi Rob can you use azelaic acid with NIOD cooper peptides
Hi hun, yes you can with no problem at all.. love you xxxxx
After 2 months at 10%, not seeing any changes positive or negative. I use the TO one for rosacea
I would maybe try a 15% if you have got used to the 10 and I hope that will deliver greater benefits... sending you lots of love xxxx
hii, I use the revlox just azelaic acid 10% but I don't understand ho it is a 10% formula when azelaic acid is so far down at the ingridiens list, do you know anything about that? Love your vidos btw 🥰
my skin purged acne from using BENZOYL PEROXIDE.. i used it for almost a month.. do you think this will work on me?
I have ordered the Facetheory azelaic acid! Every morning I like to use a benzoyl peroxide facewash (Panoxyl). Can I keep using this when I start using the azelaic acid? You mentioned not to combine these ingredients, or does that only count for a leave on BP? I also ordered the Facetheory Exaglow serum! I have no idea where to place these two in my routine haha… if you have any tips maybe? I just use BP facewash and sunscreen in the morning, and a “normal” facewash and moisturizer at night. Sometimes an exfoliant. Thank you!
Hey what order have u Been using them in? I'm in the same predicament as ive order both a.a and tranexmic acid serum from facttheiry and was wondering if I could use thek both one after the other In the pm and then only use a vitamin c in the am
@@muslimaax Hi! I stopped using them because I think I was using a bit too much at once. I didn’t enjoy the azelaic acid serum because of the consistency. I think that one was a bit too irritating for my face, and I noticed it gave me a lot of redness/flushing the next day, when I would use my other products. Facetheory told me to not use both serums at the same time as it could be irritating too much. I think you could try one first, like the azelaic acid, leave a few days in between, and try it again. See slowly how you like it! When you get more used to the azelaic acid serum, try the tranexamic acid on its own, and see how that goes.
So, I wouldn’t use them both in the Pm. I would start with one. It might take some time to get used to the azelaic acid alone. I also was using vitamin C in the morning at that time, and everything combined was too irritating for me/too complicated.
Good luck! 🌻
P.s. I dont think they are bad products, I just was using a combination of too many things I think. Sometimes we want things to go faster, and it has the opposite effect ;).
May I use azealic acid with tretinoin and peptides+copper peptide in my night skincare routine??
Hi hun, yes you can there shouldn't be an issue with that routine.. love x
Can I use Azelaic acid right after using kojic soap?
Hello can I apply my salicylic acid toner then wait 10 mins then use my the ordinary azelaic acid and then my moisturizer
yes you can hun x
And what about moisterizing before or after azelaic acid? Ik have a prescription of 20 percent azelaic acid but I'm too worried that it would give me side effect. Ik have very sensitive (combo) skin
What do you think about dermatica 15%?
Amazing video, but I'm Using azaelic acid since 1st Jan 2022, facing more redness n texture on my face.. What to do I'm clueless. Also using tretinoin 0.05
I am not a dermatologist, yet this might help u. Please note that Tretinoin is way more stronger than Azelaic acid. Now u should use one of them and reduce the number of usage to maybe twice a week - depends on how irritate ur skin gets. Try to moisturise ur skin using cicaplast from la roche posay cause It will help ur skin barrier and to calm any irritation.
Can I use your serum along with retinol?
Hi hun.. Yes you can.. They work really well alongside each other.. Love lots xxxxx
I've bought an azelic asid product of 20% concentration not knowing only through this video and it burns my skin what should I do how to lower the concentration I've rinsed my face off for now and wnt to use again properly
Love AA - and loooove your serum 🥰
Oh how lovely to hear from you hun and I am so so happy you are loving the serum.. Love you too xxxxx
Is TO azelaic acid a good one? Theres so many different brands out there.
I think it is awful.
No. It"s a full silicone suspension, very difficult to layer w other products (and impossible to mix), and an unpleasant feeling. Try REVOX 10%, a fresh, light cream-gel, no fragance. I love other TO products.
Hi hun , I dont like the formulation of TO one so I would go fro the revox one instead which is the same price with a better formulation.. love yo xxxx
I Love FT Lumizela Serum. 🥰
Same here hun, such an amazing product... love you xxxxx
Is it ok to use Azelaic acid while youre on adapalene?
Can v use tretinon while using azelic acid
AA dosen't it have a low ph so you need to buffer before you put it on and after ? Or am I totally wrong. I would love to be wrong here, since it will make my routine shorter 😊
Can I use it as spot treatment?
Is it possible that AA makes your skin purge when first using?
I don’t suppose you’ve used a product called ‘Eva Naturals Azelaic Acid 10% Facial serum’
The reviews are great! I was just wondering 🤔
I love the results but I find it soooo drying for me, that’s why I don’t use it as often as I’d like. I use TO’s one
I have been using the ordinary's Azelaic acid, it keep on breaking me out :'(
It’s the worst! There are better formulations out there!
It's because of the dense silicone formulation. TO needs to reformulate it. Try REVOX 10% Azelaic Brightening Solution. It's a delicious cream-gel, very light and fresh, with no fragance. And half the price, but superb.
Oh gosh I am so sorry to hear that bu it might be the silicones in it so I would switch to another formulation like the revox one which might work better... sending you lots of love xxxx
