Azelaic Acid (Azelex) Reviews

I have used Azelex for 3 weeks now, applying 2 times daily. It has not made my face red, itchy or dry. My acne is only mild to moderate little pimples, but it has caused me to break out in larger pimples that are really painful. I will contine to use for my 6 week trial, but I feel that this was another waste of time and money.

Have been using for bout 3 weeks, seems to be stopping new pimples from happening so often, but hopefully my face will only get better if i keep using it. does ITCH!

Well...I have tried lots of diffrent medicines such as benzaclin, clindymycin, benzoyl perozide, differin, retin-A and all of those burn and caused chemical burns on my face. As for Azelex I have been using this product for about a week. (It says use for 4 weeks before seeing real good results) Anyways, the first few days or so it made my skin really itchy and tingily, but nowhere near as bad as everything else. Now it doesn't itch or feel anything which is great. As for the pimples, the old ones fade amazingly, but I seem to be getting little pimples more, but overall face looks better. Im going to continue and see how it goes, but so far so good. So nice on the face.

Azelex was the only thing that ever made my skin completely clear. For the first month that I used it, it made my skin itch uncontrollably. After that first month, though, the itching went away and so did my acne. It was great for getting rid of my dark spots, and made my pores look infinitely smaller. I have extremely oily skin, but Azelex helped to control my shine factor. It was great. The only problem is that as soon as you stop using it, the pimples come back. Constant use is the key. I really recommend it. The itching is soooo worth having clear skin, and it only lasts for a little while.

i USE RETIN A MICRO AND AZELAEC ACID AND THEY ARE THE ONLY PRODUCTS THAT HAVE EVER WORKED. mY SKIN IS CLEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 15 YEARS. i TRULY THINK THE COMBINATION WORKED A MIRACLE. aLSO, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM TAZORAC IF YOU CAN...IT IS EVIL STUFF!!!!

Azelaic Acid (I use Skinoren) is the best acne topical I've tried and I've used Retin-A, Differin, various topical antibiotics, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and glycolic acid. Azelaic Acid is antibacterial, exfoliating, and anti-inflammatory. It also helps fade marks left over from past breakouts. I don't know any other product that can do all this. It left me a bit itchy for a few minutes during the first week or so but then side effect quickly subsided. Great stuff!

I used this product only briefly (around 3 months). It didn't really work at all for me. I always haad lesions on my face. I used it in coordination with Retin-a (0.05% cream). In short,
it didn't work for me. Good luck and stay strong.

I've used Azelex for over a year now and it's great. I've seen a huge improvement in my acne and people comment on how smooth and clear my complexion is. I apply it at night after washing with Cetaphil (no water, wipe off method). Then I apply Vaseline. The Vaseline reduces the burning and moisturizes. Most people don't realize that Vaseline is non-comedogenic and won't cause additional breakouts so it's great in combination with Azelex. I also use Retin-A Micro once a week on Sunday evenings only and I also use Vaseline after using it as well. This has made a huge difference for me. I'm thrilled with the results.

Never noticed a difference and it turned my face red!

Is excellent in getting rid of red marks from old acne. Has been the only thing to keep my skin clear. Must use 2x daily to see results, and it does burn and itch a bit. Totally worth it though.
