Azelaic acid 🩶

I started using azelaic acid a few weeks ago, and honestly… I think it’s low key amazing. I wasn’t expecting much — just trying something new for leftover acne marks and some redness around my nose — but it’s been surprisingly gentle and effective. It’s helped smooth out my skin texture, faded some of the stubborn post-acne spots, and even calmed the random irritation I usually get when the weather changes. What I didn’t know is that azelaic acid also: 🩶Fights acne-causing bacteria (without drying you out) 🩶Brightens hyperpigmentation 🩶Helps with redness 🩶And it’s safe to use with most other actives (huge win) If you’ve got sensitive or reactive skin, this stuff might be worth a try. Have you used azelaic acid before? What did you pair it with? I’m curious how others are using it!
