    Didn't notice a difference for acne

    I used this product in place of benzoyl peroxide in my skin care routine for about 2 months but I didn't notice a difference in my skin between using this and using nothing. I've read online that azelic acid is more effective in a serum form. This product also had a tendency to peel during application, so I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who wears makeup every day. I applied this over my moisturizer as the last step of my skin care routine to prevent it from peeling when other products go on top.

    A beauty weapon like no other.

    Simply put, I love it.

    I have a pretty no nonsense skincare routine and use this a few times a week to help with small spots of hyperpigmentation.

    Azelaic acid is produced naturally by a yeast that lives on our skin so I'd much rather use a product containing it than something as harsh and potentially dangerous as hydroquinone.

    Is it drying? Yes! Can it be a little irritating? Yes!

    Patience is a virtue and your skin will generally adjust.

    I have darker skin and the azelaic acid only targets my hyperpigmented spots which is a plus.

    The darker spots are fading and my complexion is smoother- a double positive!

    Give it at least six weeks depending the condition you are using it for. I use it at morning and night for my hyperpigmentation.

    It is much cheaper than other cosmeceuticals!

    Any Tips?: 
    Invest in a good moisturiser to pair it with. Give it time to see results. Try and grin and bear it through any itchy reactions as it is mostly your skin adjusting. If you are purchasing it to use on sun spots, get a skin check from your doctor first. Azelaic acid does fade melanomas. Sorry to scare you but it’s not a desirable outcome in that scenario!
    Ideal For...: 
    People with acne, rosacea, melasma or hyperpigmentation. People who can’t or don’t want to use hydroquinone.

    Hidden gem

    Azelaic acid is not very common in products compared to other acids like glycolic or lactic acid but by no means no where near as effective. Azclear can help with acne, pigmentation and Roseaca. I myself use it for acne and pigmentation and it has shown a difference and my husband uses it for redness and again has shown a difference to him too. It can feel a little drying on the skin so I like to apply it after any water based serums and then use a moisturizer on top (It can ball on the skin at times).

    It is readily available at chemists and a really good price.

    Any Tips?: 
    If you have tried other acids for pimples try this. It’s great for perioral dermatitis and skin conditions as well

    For acne and pigmentation

    I bought this product to help my acne and pigmentation. It is marketed as an acne skin care product with ingredients useful for generally acne prone skin. This product made my skin drier and any make up or products worn on top of it did not sit properly resulting in peeling and rolling. This product did not really get absorbed in the skin and just sat on the skin and I did not notice any improvement in my skin using this product.

    Essential part of my routine

    This year I had a recurrence of adult acne. It's the worst. My skin was dry/flaky, red, and had a lot of bumps and blemishes. I was reluctant to use proactiv again so I looked around for alternative solutions for adults.

    Once I started using the AzClear system (the Az clear wash followed by this medicated lotion) I could see a difference within one week. The redness reduced very quickly. After 4 weeks my skin looked smooth and had an even tone. I'm 6 weeks in now and my skin tone looks better than it did before the acne appeared.

    The combo of these two products never dries out my skin, and never makes it oily. It's very well balanced. The wash removes everything without over-drying the skin, and this lotion not only repair skin, it moisturises beautifully - not creating excess oil! Previously I would not wear moisturiser during the day because of my skin problems, my face would look like an oil slick. This moisturiser is so subtle to wear I love it. I am so so happy with the results!

    Any Tips?: 
    The first time I used this my skin was a little itchy from it. I know this happens with other treatments too (e.g. proactiv). I would recommend using only small bits to begin with. I also found putting the lotion on while my skin was still a little damp from washing also helped remove the irritation. After the first few applications you don't notice any more.
    Ideal For...: 
    adult acne/redness/dryness/oil control. Use routinely as recommended on the product.

    Not the best not the worst

    Does dry the pimple but also dries your skin and does not prevent them. Ok to use to dry up a pimple quickly but would not use more than 2 nights, and def not during the day. Just found it made the skin around the pimple really red and it started to peel so can only use on the pimple itself so would not work for severe acne as it would just strip the skin. Found other products more effective and gentle.

    Any Tips?: 
    Can be used if you get an odd pimple
