Pros:

my skin looks amazing. I tried differin, the pill, and several other thing before and they didn't do a darn thing.

Cons:

It does burn. I started using it just once a day or every other day and I use it sparingly and this has helped. Don't just slather a bunch on... it'll most likely burn and irritate your skin!

Fantastic. my skin has never looked better.

Pros:

I use the 15% azelaic acid product (Finacea) I had no irritation or initial breakout like I got with retinoids.

Cons:

My insurance does not cover it, so its pricey to pay for it out-of-pocket.

It works great in combination with my other over the counter acne products. I like that it addresses multiple causal factors of acne - it prevents comedone formation, kills the acne bacteria, reduces inflamation, and helps fade red marks from past breakouts.

Pros:

Having rosacea azelaic has worked great for me. I know there are 2 versions, one gel and 1 lotion, both of which I have tried. the fineca gel @15 works better than anything the derms have tried so far. Cool calm & corrected from dermadoctor for after

Cons:

price. the burning and itching stops after a few days.

Stick with it, We all know if somebody tells us a product will work we will buy it. In this case I have tried them all and this one DOES WORK

Pros:

This works right away to clear skin. Gives skin a nice dewy glow.

Cons:

Itchy, stops working after a few weeks

For me, this cleared up my skin very fast and prevented new breakouts. But after a few months my face got used to it and it was like I had never even used it.

Pros:

this is an update from the post below by me, titled "no more cystic pimples, something..."

But anyway, I have I don't think it's cystic but it is one of those underthe skin pimples that hurt on my cheek and corner of my chin since using.

Cons:

no more itching or burning afterwards, in my original post I was still itching and burning for about 3 weeks

Great product, Only had a couple of hurtful pimples since using it. I have been using it for a month and a half. normally I have had a lot of pimples by now. Over-all complexion is better. Have not seen much improvement in red marks though.

Pros:

Acne started to diminish after only one night of use!

Cons:

Burns / itches quite a bit when you first apply it.

I have adult acne which worsens around that time of the month. Azelex works so much better than Retin-A (tretinoin) for acne. It keeps my skin clear - so far! I have combination skin and tend to develop cystic acne. Azelex is the only acne stuff I use daily.

Pros:

cleared small zits and pimples which are not fully developed yet

Cons:

didnt help at all at big fully-developed acne; only small ones. in fact it made them worse than before. and it itches a lot!!

okay. i just started using this for one week. but i can see a bit results. well it cleared up all my small pimples, and it made my skin much more smoother. but it didnt help at the big pimples at all. it made them worse, and it itches ALOT. but just have patience. i recommend you guys to try it out ;] tips: drink at least 7cups of water everyday!!!

Pros:

My skin looks much younger and healthier now. Far fewer pimples, improved over-all appearance. Short list of very manageable side effects.

Cons:

Itching directly after application - wannt to scratch my face off.

My skin looks much younger and healthier now. I still get the occasional pimple, but my over-all skin tone is very much improved. I recently had surgery on my nose, (about 4 months ago) and the scar has completely disappeared - the doctors couldn't even find it when I went in for a follow up - this was an inch-long scar running straight up and down my nose, complete with stitch scars on either side! I am very pleased. Wish I could skip the itching, though...
