“20% azelaic acid cream is necessary to see results. Studies show less than this percentage doesn't do much. With that in mind, there aren't many that reach this percentage. Among the few, this one has the best texture and the fewest filler ingredients that you don't need to put on your face. Texture is important when it comes to layering skin care. This cream goes on dry and is a very beneficial treatment precursor to finishing moisturizers or oils. And it goes on very affably after a serum and toner. At night, it works fine after BHAs or AHAs, and before retinol moisturizers or oils. In the morning, it compliments niacinamide toner and helps control sebum as the aforementioned dry texture will create a matte finish for the day even if you moisturize again thereafter. It's also gentle, no burning and no interactions with sunscreen.”
“Wow the 20 percent cream has made a huge difference in my skin from the first bottle. It has cleared residual spots dramatically, and is making a big dent in my old hyperpigmentation and acne scars! Currently on my second bottle. Fair warning it does tingle on application but I only use at night time pre moisturizer, and being Azealic acid it doesnt increase sun sensitivity. There was a noticeable difference in the gap of time between my first bottle finishing and my second bottle arriving, where I had a recurrence of some spots when I wasn’t applying the cream. Once I did resume it went back to clearing and preventing breakouts.”
“I can’t review this product at the moment due to the fact that I just received and have not even tried it yet ….but I will say that the shipping was fast!! So that gets 5 stars”
“Fabulous product! The formulation sits beautifully under makeup and it keeps my melasma and hyperpigmentation undetectable. It's a great product to use year round and especially when you cycle off hydroquinone.”
“Amazing product. It's working along with my other products to lighten what was severe melasma on my cheeks and forehead. I use it in the mornings after my Alpha Arbutin & Tranexemic acid serum, then my vitamin C serum. After applying Dermatica's 20% azelaic acid I apply my moisturizer and tinted sunscreen. At night I use my Alpha Arbutin & Tranexemic acid serum again, 0.1% tretinoin, then I apply a night time moisturizer 20- 30 minutes after the tretinoin fully absorbs. I hope this helps. It's taken over a year for me to be proud of my skin again and this product has played a huge role in my confidence skyrocketting? I always make sure I have 1-2 extras. Thank you so much Dermatica?”
