Causing redness and breakouts?
Azelaic Acid Gel- Finacea- Been using for about 2 weeks and redness has become worst and now I have a few good-sized isolated red inflamed pimples on my forehead and a cluster of red pimples as well, where I don't usually get acne. Started to break out on my cheek. The acne on my jaw went down a bit though which may have been hormonal? However, the cystic acne was on its way out though before finecea. It also itches like CRAZY after putting on so obviously avoid anywhere near eyes. I can't really speak to this improving my skin. I went from mild to moderate acne to now diffuse pimples and have to wear make-up to counteract the redness and discoloration. I don't know if this is the purging phase, as I really want it to work. Does anyone know how long this will last?

Pros:

May help pimples and redness

Cons:

My skin got so oily, I had to discontinue use
Burning and itching when applied
Expensive

I wish this worked as well for me as it seems to have worked for most people. If I had read these reviews, I would have said "Whoo-hoo! Sign me up!" But I have found that azelaic acid makes my skin unbearably oily. I don't have naturally oily skin to begin with, so this was a new feeling. I had to blot throughout the day, and my makeup was sliding right off. Any benefits weren't outweighed by how oily my skin became.
