Azelaic Acid: 5 Reasons To Use Azelaic Acid In Acne | Dr Sam Bunting

Azelaic acid is one of my all-time favourites. It's an incredibly versatile and effective active ingredient that can address so many different concerns.
One of it's main benefits is in it's treatment of acne. Not only does it work on 3 out of 4 points on the acne highway, but it also helps reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, leaving your skin looking clearer and brighter.
In today's video I'm sharing 5 reasons why you should incorporate azelaic acid into your acne-fighting skincare routine.
As always, thank you so much for watching and for all your support!

I use Skinoren (20% azelaic acid) to fade hypermigmentation and it works better than everything else for that! And plus it helps with the acne

[@LamiraFaradiba]

Can we use azelaic acid 20% for long term treatment?

[@sevgishko]

[@vincefrilles2600]

False

[@jod6cindy]

Dr. Bunting, your presentation is always professional, friendly, and down-to-earth, and I really appreciate that. Please don't ever change your delivery as it's perfect.

Thanks to you, I'm using azelaic acid and Adapalene for acne prone skin for several months now. I regret i didn't start it sooner my skin it's really beter. Thank you👏

[@narjesskander7094]

Please can you show your routine ?? Because I want to combine adapalene and azelaic too

[@LoveyourSkin.]

@@narjesskander7094 I started with azelaic acid at the morning and adapalene at night but when my skin adapted to the ingredients i used azelaic at the morning and at night adapalene and azelaic acid and never turned back! But every skin it's different...

[@layanm8016]

I tried many acne treatments and none of them seemed to work for me. I am now starting prescription Azelaic Acid as recommended by Dr.Sam and i hope it works🥹Thank you so much for the recommendation and for the info, i feel so ready to start it

[@maybeikraam3820]

Any results?

[@kym-annoddfates3387]

how do we differentiate between purging + adverse reaction?

[@mitchmartillan9390]

Wish you have a 5% azelaic acid Dr. Sam for beginners like Me. Thank you❤

[@LoveToday8]

I really appreciate your videos on azelaic acid.

[@GenesisGutierrez-tu6gt]

very informative! I love Azelaic acid. The Unspotted night serum by Lion Pose has it and that's why I'm using it. together with tranexamic and glutathione and other very nice ingredients.

[@beeg1549]

wish you had a 5% azelaic acid serum dr Sam but without any niacinamide, squalane, shea, or SA. for super sensitive skin :(

[@annikalouise9116]

the inkey list!

[@hinabokhari7520]

Are you launching a new product?

[@elizabethlazaro8808]

Hi Dr. At what age do you recommend starting the use of Azelaic acid?

[@Mina9135]

What products should I use if I have acne, perioral dermatitis and acne marks? 😭

[@cfvcafrava3162]

What age you recommend starting azelaic acid?

[@frozengamer3030]

I am going to start following your steps because skincare is very confusing.

[@mscheurk]

Tried using azelaic acid consistently for ten weeks; unfortunately my skin doesn't like it ( just like when I Tried salicylic acid, I just keep breaking out and am now stuck with a face full of red marks 😔 )

[@alwaysalvin3656]

Damn I’m sorry you gotta go thru this ..there is no greater pain in life than trying something or things that’s supposed to work only for it not to work or make ur skin worse 😩😩😩 But maybe try BP or AHA instead or even tretinion..I’m not no skincare geek btw

[@tseyingwah1]

Hi Dr. Bunting, can you please make a video on Dapsone? Thank you!

[@lapangantembak4576]

Hopefully u will talk about succinic acid, coz some says it's more gentle than AHA

[@azitar45]

I have no acne, combination skin. Can I use Azelaic Acid?

[@sta7586]

Is Azelaic acid good for sebaceous hyperplasia?

[@rawrlikejane]

nice content :) informative, I like my azelaic to be blended with other good ingredients as I don't like to put different products, I'm using Unspotted 4x night serum by Lion Pose and it's a mixture of azelaic acid, tranexamic, glutathione, aloe etc.. It really lightens my dark spots and hyperpigmentation also helps with my acne and hydrates my skin. cool right?!

[@sophiehamilton1327]

Is using a 10% azaleic acid preparation twice daily the same as using a 20% once daily?

[@LoveToday8]

No

[@sophiehamilton1327]

@@LoveToday8 thanks for your reply. Could you explain why?

[@satisfyingvideos4752]

my skin got really oily in start of using azelic acid is it oka

[@morgankelling4268]

I use the Paula’s choice azelaic acid but every morning and through out the day I develope these tiny almost unseeable white heads that just scratch off…what causes this? could it be that product? Otherwise I have no acne but I feel like it’s causing these white heads?! I have had no luck finding an answer to these

[@natnael1581]

maybe your skin is purging

[@allieennis2310]

I had this happen to me before. I found it was related to a moisturizer I was using at the time that was a little too heavy for me, but I think it was an occlusive ingredient in the moisturizer. Not just the fact that it was a heavy moisturizer... I always use heavy moisturizers but once I switched, it went away! Hopefully you figure it out!

[@deeshizzlemanizzle483]

Is it better than using benzoyl peroxide

[@theta33]

From my experience, YES. 5% Benzoyl can cause redness, itching, and even bleach clothes. You need to use it every other day (depending on its strength) and have to wash it off after 1-2 hours. 20% AZ can be used daily and left on, making it easier for me. It hasn’t caused any problems as long as I use moisturizer to avoid dryness. Plus, my acne and skin texture have improved.

Can my 12 year old daughter use azaleic acid?

[@ancigrujic3312]

Hi I'm 13 and I've been using azelaic acid for acne and post inflamitory hyperpigmentation, personally I have very sensitive oily skin and azelaic acid has worked good for me so I think your daughter can try it out
