Azelaic acid topical for Acne "I retried Azelex because my first time, which I used for two weeks, I got no results. The second time, I've tried this product for over three weeks and have noticed an extreme difference, with many people complimenting me on my skin. It burns and tingles for 5-10 mins, but then subsides. I have sensitive skin, and this did not dry my skin out at all, which is great. I would definitely recommend."

For Acne "Best cream I have used for acne by far. Less irritation than most and fastest results. I’m 4 months in and still seeing improvement. My skin does get irritated sometimes, and when I started, it did burn, tingle, and itch, but when this happens, I either switch to once a day for a while, as advised by my Dr., or put aloe vera on my face ten minutes prior to Skinoren application and then wait until it’s dried and use aloe or a moisturizer. Overall, after 4 months, I’m still happy with the improvements - my skin has gone from quite a few pimples, blemishes, and marks to much fewer blemishes that heal much more quickly. I will give another update at 6 months :)"

Azelaic acid topical for Acne "Works well, and I've tried almost everything. It burns, itches, and tingles like crazy when you first start using it, but that eventually stops. I apply it mixed with a moisturizer."

Azelaic acid topical for Rosacea "Some slight tingling at application around the nose, otherwise, excellent results at almost eliminating breakouts. Now I only get 1 or 2 sores when I am under very extreme stress."
