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.
