Video summary: - Produced naturally in the skin - Limits melanin production - Helps for hyperpigmentation, dark spots, acne, skin texture - Is anti-inflammatory - Plays well with other ingredients/actives and is well-tolerated by most people (may tingle initially though) - Is not photo-unstable so can be used in the morning before sunscreen

For those who don’t know how to use ordinary azelaic acid follow these steps: during pm time apply moisturizer first and then after apply the azelaic on top then during am time apply moisturizer again and azaelaic then follow with spf. I recommend this azelaic to everyone who’s suffering from hyperpigmentation and irritation because it have helped my face so much and my face is happy. The side of darks pots it’s not that effective to my opinion, I need something stronger for clearing the remaining dark spots hope this will be helpful to those who are suffering with hyperpigmentation and dark spots too.

This is the main source of my hyperpigmentation, which is mostly little spots on my chin, jaw area, and sideburn area. Azelaic acid has helped me more in the one week that I’ve been using it than any other skincare product I’ve ever tried. I’m open to any other recommendations you have, and I’m so happy to be a new subscriber! 🤗❤️🤗 Edit: I’m so glad I watched your video, because I was only using this product on my problem areas, but now that I know that it does so much more, I’m going to start using it all over!
