| Pros | Over 2 weeks in so far: Seems as effective as BP at present Calms down acne in terms of: amount, severety and redness, light white powder makes skin look nice and does not bleach anything (like BP does) Does not cause foetal malformations like retin A (always speak to doctor about this anyway) Does not cause as much irritation as BP does not cause antibiotic resistance as it is not an antibiotic. Does not cause sun sensitivity |
|---|---|
| Cons | itchy for a while after applying Light white powder can get onto dark clothes, you end up using alot of it so make sure you get 180g for 4 weeks for one application a day and double that for 2 applications a day. can lighten skin (I like this but I know its a con for some ppl, still doesnt bleach anything else) may be expensive to buy if you aren't on the NHS or if you don't have insurance as you will need alot ofit for body acne. |
| Bottom line | I would reccomend this to anyone who has body acne as BP is often just too much of a restriction on your life. Cant sleep on friends sheets cause you will bleach them with BP, can't wear the sexy black dress or top cause if you sweat you will bleach it... etc etc its great stuff and since using it my skin has really improved, i dont like to review "too soon" but I prefer this so much I wanted to share the word as so few ppl know about this treatment. BTW I have been using once a day. I will do another review after 6 weeks xx |

| Bottom line | I’ve been using azelaic acid on my chest for a week now and my chest is already less red. So far I’m positive! No irritation, itchiness, redness or whatever. I’m curious what happens when you stop using it. Will the acne come back worse than before using azelaic acid? |

| Cons | Caused hypopigmentation... I started using Azelaic Acid 20% on my face as prescribed in January... by July - when I went to the beach - my skin was totally blotchy... I have patches of white where the cells have been damaged. Some doctors tried to tell me that it's Vitiligo, but the white patches are exactly where I applied the medicine. It's been over three years and it isn't much better. It is mostly noticeable in the summer I tried topicals |

| Bottom line | DON'T USE IT!!! |

| Pros | It works and it is wonderful, give it a try!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | The first times you apply the cream it might itch and burns a little bit but that goes away soon after a few times. |
| Bottom line | This is the first time I review a product, I never do , I guess I am kind of lazy but thinking about all the other fellows who struggle with this issue I felt I should pass this on...This cream is wonderful, I try everything including antibiotics and nothing worked...Also, my skin is very sensitive and it tends to dry a lot. This cream cleared my skin and made all the acne marks fade away, it makes the pimples appear less often it they do at all. Give it a try and don't give up on having beautiful skin...!!! By the way, I think you can only get it with a prescription from your doctor which I think is the best way to go instead of buying a product over the counter which they usually don't work for more serious cases. Good luck!!! |

| Pros | This has cleared up 95% of the acne on my face and jaw line in a matter of weeks (3). |
|---|---|
| Cons | Burns when first appiled. Initially dries my skin out, which is great but then my skin seems to overcompensate by producing more oil, turning me into an oily slick and requiring me to wash my face every couple of hours at work. |
| Bottom line | I've tried everything, to include accutane. This stuff works. |

| Pros | Cleared up my acne faster then any other product I've tried and I basically tried em all. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | This does sting when first applied, but it works bottom line. I'd much rather deal with the pain then with having acne. Come on people havent you ever heard the saying, "Beauty is Pain", toughin up it could be worse. |

| Pros | Truly truly truly works! It got rid of cystic acne and made the reduced the redness. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Slight tingling and burning when you first apply it. So worth it though! |
| Bottom line | You must not give up on this product. It truly does work if you are patient with it. I have only used this for about a month now and I can't believe how much my face cleared up. It looks and feels so smooth. I no longer have bumpy cheeks! |

| Pros | Clears non-inflammatory and inflammatory acne, smoother skin, anti-bacterial, non-irritating, not too drying, treats PIH, reasonably priced. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | Best topical I've ever used. Has really improved the texture of my skin. Very effective in killing acne... Reduces the lifespan of cysts and unblocks pores to purge comedones. Have been using this for 3 months and noticed slight improvement in PIH (takes about 6 months to see good results). Highly recommend it! |

| Pros | Cleared up cyctic acne when nothing else worked |
|---|---|
| Cons | Price if you don't have insurance |
| Bottom line | This stuff burned like fire ants on my face when I first started using it... It was HORRIBLE!!! Tough it out... after two weeks no more burning just clear smooth skin. It didn't do a lot for getting rid of redness or hyperpigmentation... but no more huge hard zits! |
