sarahjn 0 Posted December 3, 2009 I was just prescribed azelex cream 20%. i have very oily sensitive skin. I have used it once so far and it didnt cause any burning or irritation yet, but i just read it has an ingredient that can clog pores. I am worried that this isnt right for my oily skin. Is it gunna break me out more? Im very worried. It would be great if it worked since all other acne topicals i have tried made me very red and irritated. My skin also seemed very oily after using it. so that also worries me. I thought it was gunna dry me out? why would it make me oily and why would they put pore clogging ingerdience in an acne cream????? i just dont understand. has anyone had any experience with this cream and did it make your acne worse or better? i dont understand and since my skin is so sensitive i cant use any other topicals, so if breakout more from it, it will take me forever to get it under control. sooooooooooooooo frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!help please Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willow569 7 Posted December 3, 2009 I did a search for the ingredients online and I didn't see anything that was pore clogging. Which ingredient are you worried about? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

willow569 7 Posted December 3, 2009 glyceryl stearate I think you only have to worry about "glyceryl stearate SE" - but I'll double check the lists I have. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
