Azelex : Azelaic Acid (20%) Cream

Wash face with rich amounts of water ONLY, pat dry, then apply A LOT of the azelaic acid cream. (You might want to start with less, then ramp up the dose). My skin is now smooth and even, no pimples/cysts. Have tried: Differin, topical tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics. Azelaic acid beats them all in my experience.

odorless, stainless, has worked wonders

Really works to prevent acne, remove redness, and even out skin tone. Im using this in conjunction with clenia face wash and its the best my skin has been in years. It's almost like a godsend since I still have a couple months left in college to enjoy good skin. The first time i applied my skin seemed a little itchy, but every time since then i don't even notice its on. Benzoyl peroxide seems to be treating the symptoms of acne, but azaleic acid seems to treat the cause. I use the product finacea cream. Also does not cause photosensitivity like so many other products.

ive only used finacea for about a week, so far everything is going pertty good and my skin is gradually clearing. I was a little concerned about using it and almost decided to stop because of all the things about it giving people worse skin, but i figure my skin wouldve broken out already if it was gonna do that. A lot of people used this and liked it a lot, so im hoping i get good results. I used it before and i didnt like it, but that was because i was using it like a spot treatment, just dabbing a little glob on one pimple at a time.... DO NOT DO THIS... it makes your skin really dry and red for about a week in those areas. make sure to rub it in like a lotion on your problem areas... then it will probably work.

I just started using it because I started breaking out like crazy. I was using hormone pills, progesterine, for pregnancy. After 3 months, I had to stop the pills because my face broke out. I haven't been out in public for about 2 weeks. It's so embarrassing. I only had like 5 big pustule cysts and other marks so In desperation, I went to Rite Aide to purchase benzoyl peroxide and salicic acid which I used the first day. Then I made an appointment with my Dermatologist the next day for a chemical peel which I used to get every month at no cost to me due to insurance covering. The second day I received my chemical peel at 12pm at seemed worse but within a few hours I noticed inflammation decreased. I used Azelex the third day and saw some change. I noticed my scars decreasing in color and size. However, I noticed that I was starting to dry up on one side of my face. I started using Aloe Vera gel and seems like its working. Today I am in my 4th day and am seeing a major improvement. AMEN

I've used everything for my face, and i mean EVERYTHING over the counter to prescription and this is by far the best cream i have ever used. it doesn't make my face red, itchy, or flakey. i have had big red cystic pimples and small "normal" ones and my advice (well for girls i guess) i went on the pill, used minocycline, and used azelex, has worked better than any other combination ever! it finally made me feel normal again instead of the girl with acne. SO bottom line is! AMAZING and i would recommend it to anyone

this is an effective topical that has a lot less negative side effects than most other topicals. be careful though!! I used azelex for about two months when i stopped using it almost entirely- massive breakouts followed. In the description of side effects it does say "if you stop using azelex too soon, your acne may return the same or worse than before." So true! If you get clear skin with this, don't stop completely- my advice would be to continue using it but just less frequently.

I only use this product. No moisturizer or any other acne product. I wash my face with AVEENO baby hair and body wash. Then apply this medication twice a day. It itched the first week and it was more like a tingling that lasted for about 15 minutes. I don't feel that at all anymore. TRY IT!!! You'll be happy you did! The tube lasts me about a month and a half and my insurence covers half. A bit expensive, but I like the results so I will pay.

I really like this product!! TRY IT!!

hasnt really worked all that well, when i first started with it it kind of worked but im stil getting break outs. maybe within time it will start working but i dought it. it stings quite abit when i put it on, stings for about 10 minutes. price wasnt a problem because its on the nhs which is lucky because i think i would be quite annoyed if i had to pay for another product that doesnt work.
