Hey guys and welcome to today's video where we are talking all things azelaic acid.. I would love to know what your experience with azelaic acid has been so please leave me a, comment below.. Sending you all so much love xxxxx
I love azelaic acid! I’ve used paulas choice and the ordinary and they’re comparable but PC is a bit more elegant. It’s amazing for reducing redness, PIE, evening the skin tone. No irritation, no dryness, honestly best ingredient I’ve ever used!
@@khushboopatel5529 I would email PC if I were you, it should be solid cream, perhaps you need to shake it? Maybe temperature during transport? I would email PC customer service :)
I like to apply it on a hydrating serum but before moisturizer.
@@billyjean3118 Has anyone experiences annoying stings and itchy due to azelaic acid? Did aza possible surface sort of purging?
Hi i suffer stings and itchy sensation on aza even i buffer first with moisturizer, is it normal? Not red just stings badly. And did aza possible surfacing sort of purging at first?
@@NYS30 I did, terrible stings and irritation. It broke my skin more
I absolutely love it!! I think it’s such an underrated skincare gem and it really helped me personally with breakouts, redness and overall skin tone
I totally agree with you hun its way too underrated for sure...sending you lots of love xxxx
I have been LOVING binge watching your videos!! Perfect to watch while doing my skincare routine.
Awww thank you so so much hun and I love that I am part of your skincare routine... sending you so so much love xxxxx
Many years ago I had a bad breakout from an extremely stressful life event. I saw a dermatologist monthly for a year and one product she had me on both topically and orally was azelaic acid. You'd never know that I had such a bad breakout now, so it definitely did it's job!
OMG thats so so good to hear hun and I am so glad it works for you... sending you so much love xxxxx
Did you experiences annoying stings and itchy due to azelaic acid? Possible azelaic acid surface sort of purging?
My skin is mature but extremely oily. I use the Ordinary's Azelaic Acid and it gives my skin the smoothest, blurring effect with no dryness. It normalizes all the oiliness literally until I wash it off, best feeling, ever! I alternate my routine with some heavier serums for antiaging and no Azelaic Acid because I experience 'pilling' when layering several products sometimes and am unsure of where it goes in the layering order. Admittedly, my skin FEELS best with Azelaic Acid (having extremely oily skin my whole life I'm not into the glowy, overly hydrated look & feel) but I also feel the need for serums and other actives for more mature, aging skin concerns/prevention. I just discovered you with this video so hopefully I'll find one that addresses how to incorporate the antiaging products with Azelaic acid comfortably(w/o pilling) and properly. Your skin is beautiful! Needless to say, I'm a new subscriber!😊✨Let the binge watching begin!☕💻😅
My skin is lookin pretty good right now and balanced. Tip: The best thing I’ve learned is if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’ve ruined my skin time and time again trying new products…only thing I’ll probably do in the future is micro needling when i can afford it to improve the texture :)
Very good point. A common theme you see in product reviews is "omg my face was perfect (or insert any problem free description) and this product made my entire face breakout".... it's like, why are you actively using new products if you don't even need them? I think some people are just addicted. A lot of people don't know irritation can cause acne. They assume it's dirt, bacteria, oil, clogged pores etc. They overlook the fact that even one ingredient that your skin can't adjust to or has a reaction to is enough to damage it, either instantaneously or gradually. Then in response it fires back with pimples and cysts.
I have this problem. My skin will be looking great and I’ll get bored and try something new just for the excitement of trying something new and then I regret it. I need to be better about this 🥴
OMG! you spoke my mind. so true. I have ruined my skin trying out new products 😭
I Groupon micro needling 2x watched how they do it and then ordered my own on Amazon.. my skin has improved drastically but I still make skin appointment for cleaning/ exfoliation every 2months… but in between I take care of it
Totally agree. One tip about micro needling, don't buy the roller as that actually drags and tears the skin (micro tears) but buy a pen type that punches directly into the skin, this mimics similar tools skin specialists use. And lastly research research research :)
You’re so wonderful!! I learn so much from every single video you make!!! Thanks for being the best!! 💕
I’m a FaceTheory addict now because of you! lol I recently got their azelaic acid serum and I’m already seeing amazing results after just a week of use. I am using other FT products but I think the main thing I’ve noticed is that it’s mattified my skin. I use it in the morning and since I’ve start using it I’m definitely not getting as oily throughout the day as usual! And my skin tone has really evened out as I’m easily prone to redness. It’s fantastic!

I started my azelaic acid journey with the one from Garden of Wisdom (Victoria Health) a few years ago, really changed my skin. Unfortunately it’s a little harder to find OTC here in the US and I’ve been without it some time. Thankfully I recently purchased the Face Theory serum based on your recommendation and can’t wait to try it, thanks for the tips! 😊
I recently worked out that the violent redness and pimples (at age 50, no less) is rosacea and not lupus. Started doing some research and landed here! Thank you for sharing.
Loove Azelaic acid, especially the Paula’s choice booster.
Been using prescription strength for my rosacea and it’s been incredible. My skin glows now.
Which brand? Im on azelex 20%
Facetheory 15% for the win! I'm already two bottles in. I love how it make my skin look and feel.
Amen hun its my holy grail for sure... sending you lots of love xxxx
I started out with the Face Theory 15% about 3 weeks ago and use it mostly on my nose/t-zone. I use it once a day in the morning and overall seems to be going well. A bit of initial purging I think, I don't have acne prone skin (combination dry on cheeks and under eyes but am a bit oilier in my tzone/nose area). But the redness on my nose seems to be going down a little bit so I'm definitely going to keep using it to see the results over the next few months.
#geeksquad in here!🙋🏽♀️
I LOVE the aPAD, the formulation, the texture, the way it sinks into my skin, I have no words for how much I enjoy using the product! I have seen results specially on the textured and irritated skin, my breakouts are not as heavy and the dark spots they left fade faster away!
And all of this, thanks to my dearest Rob who suggested it 😘😘😘😘
Have a great weekend, handsome!! Send you big hug and lots of love!💞😘💞
#GeekSquad all the way hun lol.. I am so so glad I found geek and gorgeous this year its been so so wonderful and I am super excited for the 2 products they are launching this year...I hope you have had a good weekend and here is to the weekend :) sending you lots of love and a massive virtual hug xxxxx
How do you do your routine with Azelaic acid in the morning?
Loved your content! Well structured, comprehensive and enjoyable 🙌🌻
I'm loving Azelaic acid now! 😌 I first tried the Paula's Choice formula but wasn't that impressed. I recently switched to Naturium's new Azelaic acid emulsion and my skin quite likes their version. 💕
Hi hun , I wish we could get Naturium here in the Uk as the emulsion did catch my eye as a different formulation to what you normally see so thank you for sharing your thoughts on it and sending you lots of love xxxx
Hello, Rob, so glad you made this video! I purchased the Face Theory Azeclear Serum upon your recommendation but I have not used it yet, so I'm glad I saw this video first.
Omg! Thank you!! I’ve just started with Azelaic Acid and was a bit put off by the tingling (or itching) and dryness! Now that I know what it’s from and that it will pass, I’m all in! Thanks so much.
Its a total pleasure hun and dont worry it will stop stinging after a while.. sending you lots of love xxxx

Did you experiences annoying stings and itchy due to azelaic acid? Possible azelaic acid surface sort of purging?
I love azelaic acid!!!! The paula's choice booster is perfection in my opinion
I'm an aza-layperson. It's only been 3 months for me. I started with TO 10% and didn't love it. It wasn't the consistency, which I know some hate as it's really silicon-ey. It was the fact that I saw no results, nada, after an entire tube. So I upgraded to azaclear 15% by facetheory and so far, so good. It's too early to be sure but I think my face is a bit smoother (I have rosacea and quite textured, bumpy skin). It hasn't reduced the redness or decreased the duration of flare-ups (yet) but I've got plenty left and I can wait. I find it's really important to distribute a thin layer evenly, as it tries to clump up around my nose, and I avoid my under-eyes with it, as Dr Sam says to do that, and I do everything she tells me.
I think I'll stick with this product for a good few bottles before considering going up the percentage.
Can you give an update on the bumps on your skin? Did they get less?
I really want to say a big thank you for all the precious informa that you spread in this video. I am really in need to incorporate azelaic acid or maybe a derivative in my routine because of my redness and I really wish to achieve a clear skin like yours!!! 😘😘
My dermatologist recently prescribed a 20% pure azelaic acid to be used after using my salicylic acid and aloe vera facial cleanser and I literally had to stop because of how itchy it made my face for about five minutes after applying it. I've been on a treatment for acne for about a year and a half now and this is supposed to be the last leg of my treatment but man, I HATE applying this. Thank you for this video, I'm gonna try placing it in the fridge for a few hours before I apply it to see if the irritation is less. I know that about after a week or so of applying it the irritation should stop but it's been two weeks and I just can't stand it. I hope this helps!
I love Skinoren. It is available without prescription in my country and I only regret I haven't bought it earlier.
It is super cheap, around 8-9 euros, and the texture is amazing, no piling at all.
I have noticed that is stinks on my skin only in places where my skin is compromised - fox example, after hair plugging around the brows and the mouth.
Otherwise, it is pretty great and effective.
To be honest, I had more irritation and redness/flushing on my skin from using Paula's Choice Azelaic Booster or Dr.Sam Brightly.
Omg this was so helpful! I have hormal acne with terrible hyperpigmentation and asked for a prescription but it costs 50 euros for 30g 20% strength. I'm gonna try the Facetheory one instead!!
Yay !!!!!! I just found your products , I am so impressed
I freakin LOVE prescription grade Azelaic acid!!! I’ve been using for hyperpigmentation now for about 6 mos and it’s been a true HG!! At 49 years old and a true to form sun queen (surfer, etc), I had developed some minor hyperpigmentation within the last year. My derm recommended a Azelaic acid prescription and I will NEVER stop using this. ❤️❤️
Thank you so so much for sharing hun and I am so so glad its working so well for you.. sending you so much love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin just discovered your channel from this post in my feed. Love what you share ❤️
Did you experiences annoying stings and itchy due to azelaic acid? Possible azelaic acid surface sort of purging?
@@NYS30 nope. No side effects whatsoever
I’m currently using the one from Naturium. It’s definitely drying on my face but I Will normally apply something hydrating next. What I love about it is how smooth my face gets.🥰
Can we just appreciate Rob's efforts, sit back and clap 👏
👏 we all definitely appreciate all of Rob’s daily efforts! I don’t know of anyone else who is so dedicated to giving us a great video every day.
👏👏👏👏👏

He’s awesome!
Hi.. Happy to see 43k+ subscribers.. I am your subscriber since it was few hundred.. It's all about your dedication and hard work and honesty hard to be found these days in TH-cam Community 😍. All the best in advance for half million subscribers 👏 Loads love from INDIA 🇮🇳❤💕
I can relate to the experience with Skinoren. It felt drying and irritating, but at the time I started it, my skincare wasn't as good as now in terms of hydration. I now use finacea and quite like it. When I use it in the evening, my skin is more even toned and have way less redness in the morning - I find it very effective for little redness I have on my cheeks - not so much for pie which is my main concern though. I layer azelaic on top of a moisturiser to reduce dryness/tingling.
Hey! Did Skinoren cause purging?
I love Geek and Gorgeous , ordered lots of products from them and I am very satisfied. Thank you for your tips.
such an informative vid. will be incorporating this to my routine 👏
This was so great and informative!!! Can you do a video on how to reset skin ph before using peptides? Do you have specific hydrating sprays that do this to recommend?
Azelaic Acid is hands down one of the most beautiful molecules for skin, right there with Niacinamide and Retinoic Acid. I started using 10% gel in January and while it didn't give me enough results it built my tolerance. Now I use 20% micronised in gel formula everyday and though it's only been two months I already see a healthy glow and smoother skin so much so that my boyfriend even complimented me for my skin. Keep in mind, this is coming from a person who suffered with hormonal acne for most of her life and cystic acne up until 2019. I have acne scars and had probably the worst skin among all siblings. Not the case anymore.😊😊
Hello, i just started my Azelaic acid, is it supposed to feel like it’s burning my face. The burning feeling stops
@@stephaniedalton9530 No. This has only happened once to me, when I applied it to raw skin right after exfoliating. Are you using it right after exfoliating or using any sort of enzymatic/aha/BHA peels or acids, maybe even a strong Vitamin C? Maybe cut back on those or wait till your next routine or till your skin has healed? La roche posay cicaplast balm is great for healing the skin barrier in a whim. Take Care.
Great video..thanks so much for all of the helpful information! 🤗❤
Acessible Azelaic products have come a long way. I've only used skinoren which works well for me. Hoping to try the facetheory one. More than happy to accept your skinoren tubes Rob.
Haha dont worry I battled through the skinoren tubes lol but I dont think it worked on my oily skin it felt a little heavy.. apparently they do it in a 15% gel which might have been a better option for me... sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin I didn't realise it came in a gel form. I think that would have suited me better for my oily skin. Thanks Rob.
Been using Facetheory Azeclear for about 3 months now. My mum commented on how much clearer my skin was looking since she last saw me at Christmas!
OMG thats always the best compliment as you know Mums never can lie (well mine cant lol she always tells me just what she's thinking lol) sending you so so much love xxxxx
It's good that you often recommend this ingredient on your channel, Rob 👍🏻 After all, it is one of the most medically studied ingredients after retinoids.
I use The Ordinary Azelaic Acid every weekday night at the end of my routine after my retinol and before Cicaplast B5 moisturizer. I use it mainly for its anti bacterial effects, although anti hyperpigmentation is welcome too. I have never experienced dry skin but the hydration part of my routine is pretty hardcore to prepare for retinol 😂. I keep it in my fridge for storage but did not know it was better for the application so I have learned something new. 😃👍🏻
And I like the silky finish of TO's silicon-based product, but I know there's no consensus. 🤣
First of all, Rob, navy is definitely your color! 🥰 As for azelaic acid, I think it is the ONE skincare active I haven't tried. I don't have redness or acne, so I passed on it. Mainly because I already use so many products I felt like I could skip this one. What do you think? Now I'm feeling left out of the party😂😂
I purchased the face theory azeclear based on one of your earlier videos. I tried to power through the tingling and itching but for me lasted so long (in excess of 10 minutes) I end up needing to wash it off.
So glad you've posted this video. Just popped it in the fridge and used first step after cleaner (watched Dr Sam straight after this and that was her recommendation) instead of last step in routine....woah. Basically no tingling at all.
I'll give the azeclear another shot!
I have dry/dehydrated skin and my face loves the PC azelaic acid booster 💕
Have you used other? I have the ordinary & don’t like it...’or notice any results.. just dryness after awhile.
Not sure if just the less elegant formula of azelaic acid.
Dermatica’s 20% AA is my new favourite! I had previously used FaceTheory’s 15% but Dermatica seems to work even better to me. There’s some initial dryness but it’s in a lightweight ceramide-rich cream which makes their 20% AA surprisingly mild and tolerable on my rosacea skin. I haven’t experienced any irritation upgrading from 15% to 20% just dryness.
I second Dermatica 20% Azelaic Acid. Just ordered my 3rd bottle of this. The formula is amazing and my extremely dry, sensitive, rosacea skin loves it. No irritation or dryness either and so reasonably priced!
I love it too :)
Oh I’m so happy to see all of you liking this one since I have it on the way to me right now. I’m so excited to try it! Actually decided to try this over the one from Facetheory, so I hope I will love it too.
By the way. If you don’t already use it, code jamesw25 gives 25% off the dermatica range. It’s James Welsh’s code.
@@becominghealthyandhappy I used James' code on my first order. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do 😊
Never tried it. Will put it on my list to buy in July. Made it 48 hours without a purchase!! ❤️
Hey Celia! Should we start a support group? I think I need one😂❤️ I get nervous when I'm getting low on a product and I don't have a backup! So I end up placing an order... with a few extra things added😉
Omg I can relate!
@@Patti-1962 lol 😂. Just a few extra things right 😉
@@zacatewzrd4428 Yep.. another order came in and I kept pulling products out🙄 Of course my husband was standing right there!😂 The worst is shopping late at night, and I wake up trying to remember what I put in my cart. It is my "hobby," so it could be worse!! I think we can all relate to over buying once in a while!!😉
teach me how
Thanks so much for all the info!! Will def follow your tips. So useful! Would like to ask you, can I layer niacinamide onto azelaic acid or will I just burn my skin??
As of this week, the Facetheory serum is still coming with the Azeclear label on the bottle. I managed to snag a really good deal on 2 bottles and that's how it came.
Rob!! You are just too sweet, I must say, I was always intrigued by azaleic acid but I thought I don't need it because my skin is not acne prone, but God I was wrong, I decided to give it a try, I would say I have balance skin and every month I get those pescky little pricks on my face, I don't do anything besides let then be, but once they are gone my skin still has PIE or PIH, so I decided to finally try azaleic acid, and OMG 😱!! Best decision ever!! Love it, love it, all the PIH is almost gone and I only been using it for a month, my skin is less red around the nose area and I guess I don't have sensitive skin because I didn't experience tingling or irritation, nothing! At the moment I am using the Facetheorie and I will repurchase over and over! Haha 😂
Lots of love 💕
After how long did the pih clear up
Should I use azelaic acid every evening, or build up once a week, twice a week etc. Also should I sandwich the azelaic acid in between moisturiser at first to reduce any irritation? I haven’t started yet, but this will be my first new product after only using cleanser & moisturiser for years! Thanks
Cos de baha has a great azelaic acid formula. When u first used it, there was only the barest of stinging. I also used it in conjunction with a lot of moisturising products.
Thank you for sharing your experience with azelaic acid ! i was wondering if I used it well since it has made my skin very dry around the mouth and nose . I will try again with your tips ^^
Yeah Rob, I also had quite a lot of sensitivity using the 20% & now just use it occasionally for flare-ups of rosacea or redness cuz it’s quite effective for that. Right now, I use Paula’s Choice. I find it’s the best one to use before moisturizer, but does it eliminate ALL redness for me? No. I may try the Face Theory one, But I like the ingredients in the PC one - with licorice root & maybe low % of SA. And the creaminess of it is kinda nice.
Have you ever tried the Ordinary one? I also have rosacea & it’s the only form of azelaic I’ve tried and am very happy with it. But I am curious to hear other people with it & their experiences with the various otc formulas, since most I know use an Rx. Is the PC one drying at all?
@@eobrien1 I’m trying the ordinary one and it’s stinging my face. It last about 10 min. I even tried using a moisturizer after it but it’s not really helping…did you noticed any irritation?
@@Xxxvz12 I didn’t, but I also moisturize before, and I suspect that’s why I’m not having trouble. Maybe see if that works?
@@eobrien1 I’ll try moisturizing before. Thanks!
The product I have been using is Derma Forte Azelaic Acid, it's a pharmaceutical 20% strength formulation with many other fantastic ingredients.
I find it works very well against perioral dermatitis - huge improvement for me (I mean after using azelaic acid I haven't had any new episodes)!
I also bought azelaic acid to address my perioral dermatitis! But I can't stand the itching? How do you apply or layer it? Also, are you using it during the peak of your PD, or after it has subsided?
Hey love! Thank you so much for all the effort you put into these videos! I wad wondering which step should it be in my skin care routine? Should it be before or after serums? Should it be the 1st thing I do after washing my face and THEN apply the rest of my serums and moisturizers?
Hi hun ,its a pleasure and thank you so much for watching.. I would use it at the end after serums but before moisturiser as I find it works best there ... sending you lots of love xxxx
@@MadAboutSkin Thank you so much for your response!! You are, without a doubt, my favorite skin care content creator!! 🙏🙌🖤
Hi dear when is the right time to use it AM or Pm i want to use Ret - A 0.05% looking forward for your reply 😊
I heeded your advice on azelaic acid and bought the 15% from Facetheory (with your discount code, thank you 😊) , and it’s superb. I must admit I don’t feel the tingling on my skin, it might be due to the moisturising layers I apply before and after the azelaic serum. Thank you for the tips and sound advice 🤩
I am so so glad its working for you hun :) I love that product so much and its just the perfect match for my skin... sending you lots of love xxxx
Hii! So there are 2 products wich I’d like to start including in my routine azaleic acid and alpha Arbutin do you think I should start using them both into my routine straight away together or I should start with one product and wait for my skin to get used to it before I introduce the other product into my routine? (I also already use glycolic acid and niacinamide in my routine)
Hi Rob. I’ve been using Facetheory Azelaic acid A15 for 3 months and I’m not seeing an improvement in my rosacea symptoms - predominately redness flare ups. Should I be patient and persevere or can I assume it’s not working on me?
I’ve emailed the company and they have recommended Centasooth serum s5 instead. Have you heard of this and have any thoughts?
Thank you for all your help. xx
Hi, thanks for sharing the useful content. I had a question . I have acne scars, inflammatory acne and blackheads.
For the first time, I want to buy an acid peel. I decided to go with paula’s choice salicylic acid, but someone suggested I start with azelaic acid. what is your suggestion?
this is so so helpful!!💗💗
I love that you wore the same t-shirt ;)
Hey, so would you say the gel formulation for Azelaic acid is better and more effective than the cream?
I started this journey 3 months ago with aPad nd I am very happy 😊 I ll stick to it for now
Oh I am so so glad its working well for you hun and I always say if something is working then stick with it for sure... sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi Rob I started with azelaic acid around three years ago. I first used the one from TO, but really didn't like the texture for my dry, rosacea and eczema prone skin. I did try the one from paula's choice after that (there were far fewer options back then) and liked it ok, but my skin isn't all that happy with the salicyllic acid in that product and I could only use it a few times a week. It's also quite expensive, so I did a bit of research and found the now discontinued azelaic acid from garden of wisdom 10%. It was slightly gritty, but worked well enough and was affordable. They reformulated to use the azelaic acid derivative mentioned and it was far more pleasant to use. I moved onto the Apad (same derivative as the GOW) which is even more affordable and slightly better in texture. I've been using that one for nearly a year and if I want a bit more I'll also use the azelaic acid 5% moisturiser from revolution at the same time. I want to leave the stronger percentages for later, as rosacea is a chronic condition that will probably worsen over the years. This is enough for right now and I'm happy with it. I use it either every day or every second day - depending what else i'm using in my routine. It has helped with the redness, but I also get an oral medication from my GP so it's not just the AA helping. Best wishes.
Thank you for doing this video! I jumped in too fast with Skinoren and I just don’t think my skin can handle it. I don’t suffer with acne just a very small amount or redness and hyperpigmentation so have decided to drop the azelaic acid for now as the lower strength products are more difficult to get here.....however I could not resist a bargain steal of Hada Labo Premium milk which contains tranexamic acid, Vitamin C and HA. I also use TO Alpha Arbutin which I find very gentle and plays well with all other products.
Hi hun I think you did the right thing as if you cant get the lower strengths then it might be too much to go in for the 20% at the start and it sounds like you are already getting a gorgeous selection of activities sin your routine... I hope you have had a great week and sending you lots of love xxxxx
I just thought of requesting you to make a video like this in tomorrow's live because I just ordered my first azelaic acid from Face Theory. Never mind, you're a mind reader.
Oh wow thats such good timing :) thank you so so much hun and I hope the video is useful.. sending you lots of love xxxx
I ordered the face theory product after using PC for awhile and it’s on the wayyyyy. When you apply it, do you apply it like a serum? Or just spot check it? I feel like maybe I should be applying it everywhere.
Thank you for such informative videos! ☺ I absolutely love The Ordinary for my skin and my budget!I've been using The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% (and now 10%) as I have dry and acne prone skin. Am I able to use The Ordinary Azaelic Acid alongside this/in the same routine?
Also, am I able to use Azaelic Acid with retinol? Or is that dangerous? Xx
use azelaic acid in the morning and the rest in the evening. don't mix lactic acid and retinol tho and don't use too much active ingredients! could ruin your skin barrier :))
@@who8352 thank you so much!!
How has marrying the two (lactic and azealic) worked out for you?
I'm stuck between incorporating either azealic/mandelic acid or the ordinary ascorbic acid 8% and alpha arbutin 2%
Aside from large pores, I have major hyperpigmentation and I don't know what would work better.
I've heard the mandelic is a bit harsh to the skin.
Is the lactic gentler than the azealic acid?
this helped me soooo much! thank you!!
I found azelic acid 3 months ago after over 12 months of struggling with hyperpigmentation mainly caused by using tret ! I quit tret started azelic 15% face theory and added probiotics skincare products. Now my skin is so happy , I have gradually added medik8 CR . I would love to try tret again but am so scared my skin will break out all blotchy again . Rob could u tell me should I stick with medik8 CR or try tret again in the near future. Azelic I use daily now in my routines xx thank you very much xx
Love Azelaic Acid! Use it every morning. I am back in Brazil now and we have 20% OTC but people don't know about it! It's so good!
Du! I didn’t realize you watched this channel! 😊
@@tthibideau How are you? I watch a bit of everyone. Rob is really fun to watch. How is Canada?
@@BeautywithDu I’m doing pretty good here…. Canada is getting better as restrictions are starting to ease…. It’s also getting as hot as Brazil here lately! 😉. How’s everything with you?
Aww than you so so much for checking the channel out and I am jealous that you guys can get it over the counter lol which is so so much easier... sending you lots of love xxxxx
@@tthibideau Indeed. It's summer now! Thank god. We are entering "winter" here hehehe. I've been good. Last few weeks have been insane. Need to get back to recording!
The skinoren 20% azelaic acid completely cleared up my skin, I had completely given up hope on anything curing my acne, but this one finally healed my skin. However: it took about 3 whole months of everyday use until it worked, if my dermatologist didn’t convince me, I would have stopped using it. Now I am beyond grateful I kept using it.
OMg thats so so good to hear and I agree with you it does take time to see the result but they are so worth it... sending you lots of love xxxx
Did you experiences annoying stings and itchy due to azelaic acid? Possible azelaic acid surface sort of purging?
@@niamhbyrne4036 Did you experiences annoying stings and itchy due to azelaic acid? Possible azelaic acid surface sort of purging?
@@NYS30 yes, I experienced purging but not for too long. During the first month I experienced stinging and itching when the cream was applied, and it was hard not to touch or scratch my face. After about a month the itching completely went away. Azelaic acid speeds up your skin cell turnover rate - this makes microcomedones turn into acne and blemishes more quickly, causing a sudden rush of breakouts on your face.
How long after you started using skinoren did ur acne begin to improve? I’m currently 2 weeks into my treatment and experiencing awful purging.
Excellent video! I'm glad I've found someone else that didn't get on with skinoren🤣
haha no you are not alone lol.. sending you lots of love xxxxx
Do you use Azelaic Acid in conjunction with a retinol? Was thinking of using my FT Azelaic Acid serum together with my Drunk Elephant A-Passioni retinol and wondering if that will be too much? What are your thoughts?
It is so drying, then I combined with mandelic acid which is too oily...wow my skin is now in heaven. All products of TO.
Thank you, I appreciate you explaining this product- azelaic acid… 👏
Its a total pleasure hun and thank you for watching xxxx
I found it way too drying for my skin. I may consider trying again due to its benefits and try once a week 🤷🏽♀️
What do u think about the typology azelaic acid? Are the products mentioned in this video better than typology azelaic?
I finally got my first shipment from Geek & Gorgeous, and even though I've only been using it for a few days, I'm really loving the aPAD. I'm just coming out of a massive string of stress-related breakouts which have left many marks, and while it's still early and it may all be in my head, I swear some of the marks already look a little smoother and my healthy skin a little brighter. I opted for G&G since it's a derivative that I've have heard may be a more gentle introduction to azelaic acid, and the price! Depending on how I respond to the aPAD, I may or may not move on to the Paula's Choice booster, but for now, I'm pretty happy with the aPAD, and with G&G as a whole!
😍😍😍 Yay I am so so so glad your giving the aPad a try.. I love it so much as like you say it works without the sensitivity and drying that you can get with others
Sending you so much love xxxx
I am coming back to watch this but thank you for this and all your hard work!!! Loving the FB group!!!
Awww thank you so so much hun and we have some exciting things lined up for the FB group so watch this space :) sending you lots of love xxxx
Hi Rob. Can i use it even if i am often out doors? I always use Spf
30% azelaic acid saved my skin. Apis brand very cheap one bottle lasts a month and costs just £9!!! Not one angry spot and I've done everything! Accutane. Antibiotics contraceptives. Every topical that exists! Great video
Do you have in your line a good thick moisturizer for very dry skin for mature women? I desperately need one ❤
I tried Az Acid but honestly didn't stick to it. I should give it a go again. Thanks!
Hi hun , I hope all is well with you. I think its worth giving it a go again but the results will take about 3 months to show through so its one of those products you have to stick with to make sure you get the benefits.. sending you lots of love xxxx
I have never used AA only because I don’t think it is an ingredient that I need. I don’t have any acne, I can’t remember when I had a pimple last. I am 48 with slightly dry and dehydrated skin, my skin isn’t sensitive so I don’t know why I should be using it. I do suffer from severe flushing when I get hot or stressed but it isn’t rosacea. I have had that confirmed by a dermatologist which actually suggested using blood pressure medication to manage it, however I have not been back to see them to figure out what they would prescribe me for it.
I use Azelaic acid every other day and Retin-A on Sunday my skin is way better than it used to be.
Oh thats wonderful to hear I am so so glad its working for you and sending you lots of love xxxx
I can only do retin A once a week too,but I can use azelic acid & lactic 5 %,I think that enough for my sensitive skin 🙂
Just got some. Can I put on my moisturizer before or after applying azelaic acid?
I have very sensitive skin is it okay to use it and do I need to use it on affected areas or all over face. Thank you
Hi. I found your channel and absolutely luv your videos. I went to see my dermatologist and they said I have rosacea and melisma. They prescribed me skinoren cream and some anti biotic also for inflammation. Can u plz advice me what steps I should use this in before putting foundation on. I have no clue. Is it skinoren,sunscream then moisturiser? Plz help
I just love this product 🥰My skin has clear up so much . I got an hyperpigmentation skin btw. Perfect as well for skin of color . Thank you for your informativ video
Thank you so so much for sharing hun and sending you lots of love xxxx
I use the facetheory azelaic acid. I don’t use it every night because I don’t know how to incorporate it in my routine in the evening with vitamin a and exfoliants…. How do you use it?
Thank you so much, I saw good results from AA with melasma, if it used with retin a which one would be applied first?
Alternate nights or use the AA in morning
Hi. Thank you for this video! Have you tried the bright and clear cream by touch skin care? It has 10% azelaic acid plus niacinamide, kojic and tranexamic. I’m really interested to know what you think of it.
I havent hun but it looks like a gorgeous ingredient list so I need to put it on the list of products to try... thank you so so much for sharing and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Hi Rob, I am a pretty new sub to your channel, I am wondering if the Facetheory Porebright serum is a good one to use as you mentioned the other Facetheory product, the 15% one. Is it worth me just jumping to the 15% one, or starting on a lower percentage one as I have never used it before?
Hi hun , thank to so so much for supporting the channel and welcome :) ... I personally would go straight to the 15% but maybe use it every other day for a bit and put it on top of your moisturiser which will buffer it a little to help you introduce it... sending you so much love xxxxx
@@MadAboutSkin thanks so much, I will try this out, hope your keeping safe and keep up the good work with your videos 😁 xxxx
Welcome to the MAS community, Rebecca. You will love it!❤️
I incorporated Skinoren 20% azelaic acid to my routine. I use it with Adapalene gel on alternate nights. However it breaks my skin out. It was the most terrible breakout I had. There are a lot of papules formed on my right cheek. Then my derma told me to stop using it. My skin cannot tolerate azelaic acid.
It looks like beautybay has niod products 20% off. I ordered Sanskrit Saponins and Re: pigment based on Rob's recommendation. Can't wait!
OMG I didnt see this so thank you so so much for sharing hun and sending you lots of love xxxxx
Thank you SO much! I want the Repigment, and this will help my wallet!
Two days ago I started azelaic acid for rosacea. OMG - I knew it would burn at the beginning of usage (most skincare products burn my face), but the redness! My whole face is red - like really red! Because of my sensitive skin, I always go slowly; I'm going to go EXTREMELY slowly with this.
Thanks so much for the good, honest information!
Did you experiences annoying stings and itchy due to azelaic acid? Possible azelaic acid surface sort of purging?
Use just a very tiny amount on your skin.
Hi. Can i use Azelaic acid with Differen gel? If yes, i do i incorporate it? Thanks
like your video)) and your skin looks so good
Do you apply it along with a moisturizer? :)
Now trying Azelaic acid because of you :)
yay I am so so glad you have decided to give it a go and I cant wait to hear what you think of it... sending you lots of love xxxx
