Pros:

Lightens hyperpigmentation

Cons:

itch's for about 5 min but not too bad, $50.00 with my insurance b/c I haven't met my deductible yet but I saw that some were only paying $10.00 but I WOULD pay the $50 again

It really helps to lighten the dark spots and red marks but didn't help with my little "rice" like underskin pimples

Pros:

Reduces amount of new acne, fades red acne scars, evens out skin tone, improves skin texture, controls shine from excess oil.

Cons:

Costly, stings/itches a bit for first 5 minutes after applying.

I stopped using birth control pills a few months ago after being on them for 9 years. My skin became an oil slick and now I have huge problems with blackheads and acne. This product has helped control the oil, hence clearing the acne. Using this product, along with regular washing, exfoliating and extracting has helped clear some acne so far, but I still get some new pimples. I've only used Azelex for 2-1/2 weeks and am planning to try it for at least 2 months.

Pros:

It seems to help prevent acne without irritating my skin at all. I would definitely recommend trying azelaic acid.

Cons:

expensive! a tube of brand name Finacea cost me $90. one tube seems to be lasting about 2-3 months with twice a day application. But, I have no other cons to speak of! That's unusual for any kind of acne treatment.

It's hard to tell, but my azelaic acid topical cream (Finacea) seems to be helping prevent acne for me. I have sensitive skin, and yet it doesn't cause any itching or burning unless my skin is very dry. I use Cetaphil lotion with Finacea. I also apply it underneath my makeup and it doesn't clump up or anything. It's as if the Finacea isn't there. It also doesn't have an obnoxious smell or any color. I see no down side to using it except the price.

Pros:

Pro's It came highly recommended. My first application was today.

Cons:

A generic version is not available. I paid $86.00 and that was after the insurance paid their portion.

I will write back and let you know if it worked!
