How To Use Azelaic Acid: 4 Mistakes To Avoid For Best Results | Dr Sam Bunting

What’s about mixing it with hyaluronic acid?

Hi Dr Bunting. My serious concern is the redness & rosacea for which i ‘v been using finacea for 6 wks now. But v serious concern is that as soon as i apply finacea, it causes extreme redness depending on the amount i use which is always very little even at its best. And i feel how is azelaic acid recommended to reduce redness nd rosacea if applying it causes more redness ?????

Can I layer azelaic acid with Tretinoin at night?

Literally just rubbed benzoyl peroxide over my azelaic acid cream right before watching this video 🙃

how long should you keep it on your face tho

I’ve been using Niacinamide, Alpha Arbutin, Azelaic Acid, & Tretinoin on my face, neck, chest, & arms for melasma & vitiligo and WOW 🤩 WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! I do have to work up to all these ingredients slowly of course but it’s been well worth it!! 🎉

Is there a problem if I switch between Azelaic Acid Cream and Azelaic Acid Gel according to my skin fluctuations as well as the weather?

what are AHAs?

Last day my friend said that my skin texture is destroyed...So tonight I washed my face with my regular Benzoyl peroxide soap... Then put on glycerin.. on top of that I put my 10% niacinamide serum... and layered it with 0.25% Tretinoin and 20% Azelaic acid (today is my first day using this two ingredients) .. let's see what happens to my tomorrow ☠️🤞🏻

notes
1. consistency - best outcome when using daily
2. dosing best option is using half the dose every other day for at least 2 weeks
*at the beginning you can feel stinging and its normal, it should decrease in intensity over time as it correlates with better skin barrier function
*in the first stage you can have blemishes in the blemish prone zones because cleansing of skin begins, if it bothers you, you can do application of azelaic acid every other day or every third day, do not stop!!!!! keep going it will be better
3. use in the evening, especially in the beginning, in isolation without layering other active ingredients
DO NOT COMBINE WITH BENZYL PEROXIDE, or AHA AT ONE TIME - > irritation (you can use them separately, at different time of day though)
4. cell turnover should be fast enough, there is no need to use exfoliants

I had been actually using REVOX Salicylic acid and REVOX AA together at night unfortunately it causes breakouts, i thought it was normal so i continue it for 5days however when i noticed it gotten worse everyday i decided to stop using AA then stick to my REVOX NIACINAMIDE AND SALICYLIC ACID fortunately pimples stop popping out on my face as well as the remaining pimples started dying until it fully healed, I guess my skin couldn't tolerate both active acid

Cat cat cat🐈❤

Thank you!! I needed this

hi! What facial wash that goes well with azelaic acid?

Can I use azelaic acid and hyaluronic acid together

Damn she is sooo hot

I have a very serious question. When doing my nightly routine, I do all of my moisturizers first and then I put on azelaic acid and then I put on tretinoin and then I let it sit and dry and then I put on another moisturizer on top. But tonight I accidentally put a little bit of my eczema cream, which is Triamcinolone Acetonide in the corners of my lips out of habit because I have eczema there, but then a few minutes later, I feel a little bit of burning, but that’s normal because of the Asake acid but then I look in the mirror and the corners of my mouth are now very light, and when I try to wipe it off, it hasn’t gone away. right now i’ve just wiped it off as best as I can and put on a little bit of lotion in the corners and I’m just praying that it goes away by morning but if it doesn’t do you know what why that happened or what I should do about it?

I am starting out with .025% tretinoin for the first time and I read that tretinoin works amazingly well when paired with azelaic acid. (Applying tret first, then salicylic acid, and finally a moisturizer.) I’ve read many articles that say that they should not cause a problem and that there’s a lot of research behind the fact that the two work great together. However, I used one of those online doctors through these services and he did not want me using the 15% azelaiac acid gel at night after Tretinoim. He said it would be way too strong and he only recommended using azelaiac acid in the morning. I would love to hear from you whether you would also not recommend using the two together when first starting out with Tret, or if you don’t see a problem using the two together at this strength to begin with, at night. Thanks so much for letting me know.

Thank yo SO MUCH !! my skin never reacted to anything
even retinoids
so I was SHOCKED when I felt those sensations 😦😦😦 discovered AzAc because of you and will continue my journey with you ! ❤

I am facing huge acne breakout since i started with azelaic acid 10% .. redness and itchiness is accompanied by it.. should i still be consistent in using it as it's only 1 week of application or should i stop using it as it resulted in huge acne breakouts from the day one of its use. Or should i combine azelaic acid with glycolic acid in pm routine

Thank you for making this video.
I was advised to used Azelaic acid + Soothing cream of Eucerin day and night. Therefore, I was also advised to use Benzoyl peroxide in the evening. I am not sure if I heard the Pharmacist wrong but I applied these 3 products in the evening and it hits me so bad. I'm kinda kicking out from Burning, sting, and redness and it just started this week. 😑😑😑
Should I stop using all these for a while? Cause my face feels irritated and sore

I started using azelaic acid when I was hospitalized for 3 weeks in 2020 for pregnancy complications. It was pretty boring at times and I found it unusually easy to follow a skincare routine. I used The Ordinary’s azelaic acid and lactic acid formulations and I saw a difference in as little as one week. I did use them in conjunction with one another, but it didn’t seem to cause me any problems. Idk if I just got lucky or if it the lactic acid was just a gentle enough AHA that made it more tolerable. I’ve never experienced such a noticeable improvement in my overall skin appearance as I did during that time. (After my baby was born however, the routine unfortunately went into the toilet -figuratively speaking. 😂)

Can azelaic acid layered with bakichiol, niacinamide and HA??

I started skin cycling a couple months ago. my skin still hates aha as it's just too harsh. i thought azelaic acid would be a better alternative. i use a vit c in the am and adapalene in the evening. i have incredibly sensitive skin and don't know if i would be able to use two actives at once ever tbh. would i still get benefits alternating adapalene and azelaic acid at night?

Thank you for all the advice, I recently started dealing with psoriasis after a chemical burn and after many research I came to conclusion that the best option for me is to start with azelaic acid. So happy to see Hector, you should probably include him more in the upcoming videos ❤

Just came across your content question can l use a benzoyl peroxide face wash /salicylic face wash in the same routine as a topical azelaic acid ??? Just wondering as I'd be washing it off or is this not a good idea???

Thank you so much for the valuable information......mam can we use snail mucin before skinoren 20% azelaic acid?....or will it reduce its effect......this was prescribed to me by a doctor. Should it be applied only on pimple or whole face excluding T zone area

Thanks for the helpful information. I couldn’t stop thinking while watching this… with lighter hair you would be Nicole Kidman… even sound like her.

Hi i have been using Azelic Acid 15 % now iam on 20% for nearly 6 months own it's on i got malasma and i can't see any difference what shall i do please help iam very desperate and very sad with my malasma

🐈Cat: don't mind me.

Its my 2nd day with rosacea um using azelaic acid cream along with vibramycine. Um not sure whether this combo will be effective. At first application my face got red and too itchy, today again with less intensity. I wana know whether i should clean my face before application or apply without washing my face? And for how much time should i keep on? Plz need urgent replies um worried for my condition.

guilty me. What should I do, I used azelaic and salicylic acid(layering) 😢

Ok so I have a LOT of issues. In the evenings I do Tranexamic acid, retinol and then azelaic acid. I added them in one at a time with a couple of weeks per item. My skin has never looked better. Not irritated at all. But I have used lower percentages with nicer formulas. My pigmentation has improved so much, I'm thrilled. I layer thinnest to thickest formula. I feel like the real changes start happening when I added the azelaic acid. My melasma just started to come off in big patches (nearly my whole face was brown). The new skin underneath is not irritated either. I started a skin care routine only 3 months ago (at 58) so I'm pretty happy with the way things are going.

Can i use azelaic acid in the morning doc?

Hay dr can i layer AA with tretinoin??plz let mw know which will come first.. AA or tretinoin??

😍

I know this was mentioned in the video, but im still a little confused.
I use a physical scrub, and honestly its done really well for me, but does that mean i cant use azelaic acid at all? Or i can use it at night while scrub in the morning

Can i also layer salicylic and azelaic acid? Or use them at separately?
And last question: would using a scrub and salicylic acid work together? Or separately again?

Mam I was applying benzoyl peroxide gel since 3 months 2 times a day.. should I apply azelaic acid for my acne scars in morning and continue benzoyl peroxide in night
