So for your question, it doesn't sound like the 9wishes or kiehls are actives. I just want to ask is this the first time you used azelaic acid? Bc if so, then that could the reason. However, you said that you're applying it as a spot treatment and I think that's another reason why. You're supposed to either apply it all over your face or on big areas where the redness lies

yes, is my first time using azelaic acid. I can’t use it as a spot treatment?

azelaic acid is supposed to be applied on the whole face, not just a spot treatment

ah i saw you other comment and i'll assume you apply your products in this order:
AzA>ampoule>moisturizer?
you're right o.o it would be the azelaic acid causing the stinging then! the AzA you use for spot treatment gets spread out the moment you apply the ampoule+moisturizer over it.
the stinging is normal though so don't worry too much (unless it's burning then go to a dermatologist o.o).

eyes can be sensitive to actives but since it is your first time maybe apply all over? or apply certain spots but with a q tip so you don’t apply too much product around the eye area that might make it sting?

I hacen apply it in the eyes areas. I’m kinda thinking maybe because when I put my serum after de azalaic acid maybe my serum got a little bit of the azelaic acid and I tend to blend the serum all over my face including my eyes

@elle0524 then it's probably the formula at this point. I'd try the cos de Baha Azelaic Acid serum. it's so affordable, and it's so gentle.
