How To Use Azelaic Acid: 4 Mistakes To Avoid For Best Results | Dr Sam Bunting

Azelaic Acid is the current 'it girl' of skincare ingredients and as you know, I am completely obsessed!! But as with any ingredient with the word 'acid' in its name, there are some caveats to using it in your routine, especially when you're at the beginning of your azelaic acid journey.
In today's video I'm sharing 4 azelaic acid pitfalls that I've come across and how to avoid them for the best possible results.
As always, thank you so much for watching and for all your support!

notes 1. consistency - best outcome when using daily 2. dosing best option is using half the dose every other day for at least 2 weeks *at the beginning you can feel stinging and its normal, it should decrease in intensity over time as it correlates with better skin barrier function *in the first stage you can have blemishes in the blemish prone zones because cleansing of skin begins, if it bothers you, you can do application of azelaic acid every other day or every third day, do not stop!!!!! keep going it will be better 3. use in the evening, especially in the beginning, in isolation without layering other active ingredients DO NOT COMBINE WITH BENZYL PEROXIDE, or AHA AT ONE TIME - > irritation (you can use them separately, at different time of day though) 4. cell turnover should be fast enough, there is no need to use exfoliants

[@mehh1h]

What is your routine?

[@BSG0005]

@@mehh1h I recently bumped up to 0.05% Tretinoin so I cut out all the other ingredients & am getting the same great results. I will add the Azelaic Acid back eventually but the Niacinamide kind of irritates my skin. A couple important things-I don’t wash my face in the morning, I use Aloe Vera Water (Trader Joe’s) on a cotton ball to cleanse. And I’m religious about my mineral sunscreen spf 50. Mineral sunscreen is key because it’s gentler, plus the zinc oxide is great for your skin barrier. It was hard for me to use Tretinoin cuz it’s so hardcore on my skin. So I used Differin (which is also a retinoid but not as strong) for a few months first, then SLOWLY worked up to Tretinoin. It’s been 6 months and I’m just now starting to be able to tolerate using it daily. If you use it on your arms and/or chest, be prepared that synthetic fabrics might give you a rash. I have to wear cotton only. I had decided to spend my time & energy on skincare rather than makeup & it’s great because I don’t have to wear foundation anymore! Don’t be sucked into thinking you have to spend a lot of money on skincare-i only use Rx Tretinoin and The Ordinary. Good luck! Oh! And take progress pictures!! Good luck! (By the way I found out that I had been misdiagnosed with vitiligo-they are hypopigmented scars)

[@At0micAllison]

I started using azelaic acid when I was hospitalized for 3 weeks in 2020 for pregnancy complications. It was pretty boring at times and I found it unusually easy to follow a skincare routine. I used The Ordinary’s azelaic acid and lactic acid formulations and I saw a difference in as little as one week. I did use them in conjunction with one another, but it didn’t seem to cause me any problems. Idk if I just got lucky or if it the lactic acid was just a gentle enough AHA that made it more tolerable. I’ve never experienced such a noticeable improvement in my overall skin appearance as I did during that time. (After my baby was born however, the routine unfortunately went into the toilet -figuratively speaking. 😂)

[@drew-citizenX9a48]

What improvements did it show? I started using it, mostly worried about acne scarring. If you had any post inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne, did it help with it?

[@kimberlyv.3271]

I went fully throttle in the beginning and around my mouth didn’t like that.Got dry,itchy and rashes.I didn’t stop though but I used the LRP B5 every night and we are cohabiting peacefully with love with azelaic 😂❤ Just to mention my pigmentation has reduced immensely.

[@Dan_Alien]

I'm very naughty I started using it only in the day. Now the actives I use in order are Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide serum, azelaic acid, then my retin a. I seal it all with a cerimide cream. My skin though is flawless now. I worked my way up to 20% by using 10% then 12% AA. Now the 20% i will start with only using it on the a.m. Till I know my skin is ready for 2x's a day. I don't know if I made a mistake as I use a lot of actives at night. I think my order and usage is correct as I did it all slow. Love this channel BTW 😊

[@NataschaO]

Wow, I never would have thought that I could layer azelaic acid and retinoids. I have been using versions of both by The Ordinary for years, but always use the azelaic in the morning and the retinoid at night. I will try them together at nighttime. One less thing to apply in the morning will surely benefit the look of my sunscreen and makeup. x

You can layer the two but your current routine of azelaic in the morning and retinoid at night is good, stick to that!

I'm using 15% azelaic acid in the morning and tretinoin in the evening. Hoping it truly helps with melasma!

[@ScoobyDoosMom]

Curious if you use vitamin C in the morning ever? I was advised to use Vit C in am only but that’s when I use my 15% rx azelaic acid gel. I read you could use together but this video says not to do so in the beginning, but instead to use at different times of day (except given Vit C is am only and this doctor said to use Azelaic Acid daily, and not after Tretinoin at night at first, I’m confused about when exactly I can apply athletic acid if I’m using vitamin C every morning. You may not even use the product but I thought maybe you or the doctor might see this and reply. I use my .25 Tretinoin at night twice a week to start, then will try to build up one more night a week as tolerated. I’ve seen some you tubers use A. Acid at night after applying Tretinoin but i think they’ve been using it for quite a while. As a newbie, I’m trying to follow my doc’s advice and hoping it will help me avoid any serious reactions that cause me to have to backtrack on my Tretinoin “journey.”

[@mohsinaaktar1455]

Can I use azelaic acid in the morning?

[@barsha9518]

I had used azelaic acid (15%) with niacinamide (10%) for 15 days, everyday, in my evening routine. When It caused irritation, I used it for 4 days a week with niacinamide as usual. The irritation persisted, and after one month, I was forced to stop everything because my skin barrier was badly damaged. Things to note, I did moisturise religiously on every occasion without fail, and I have sensitive acne prone skin. It has been almost 20 days since I stopped using it, my skin barrier has healed, but the acne has remained as is. With new breakouts everyday, and the PIH, everything is on a vicious loop, yet again. Any suggestion would be helpful. Thank you, Doctor. Credible content, as always.

[@slhilliard]

Are you sure it was the AA and not the niacinamide? Many people have issues with nia... just a thought... Also, could drop down to a 10% AA like the one by Paula's Choice.

[@barsha9518]

@@slhilliard You might be right. The thing is, I had used the same niacinamide serum for the past one year, with visible improvements, and without any irritation. But, skin changes, I guess. Or, the application of such strong actives together might have made matters worse. On a lighter note, I feel so jealous of people with resilient skin: they can use multiple potent actives without any palpable repercussions. 😭

[@vaishali65]

Only thing helped me that apply azelaic first thing and wait for 30 min for rest of skincare or moisture to apply! I did that for 1-2 weeks and now my skin can tolerate twice a week and with tret.

I can't use niacinamide. Try cutting that out after your skin gets back to normal and try the azelaic acid alone

[@barsha9518]

@@vaishali65 During the initial days, I too, waited 30 mins for the application of the product. For a few days, I even tried to use the sandwich method in applying the product, nothing helped unfortunately. Skincare is so subjective, and your experience proves it as well.

Even if I hydrate my skin on the plane, it gets angry with me 😂… so I have to take it easy with my actives for a week or two. I don’t know if you’ve done it before but travel advice would be great!

I feel like the real changes start happening when I added the azelaic acid. My melasma just started to come off in big patches (nearly my whole face was brown).

Hi doctor! I'm currently using azelaic acid in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night. I noticed that you had recommend using azelaic acid at night. Should I alter my routine? Currently my skin is doing good btw

If azelaic acid is the only active you are using, we recommend applying it at night. As you are using benzoyl peroxide, stick to azelaic in the morning!

I just bought a benzoyl peroxide cleanser and in fact I see that azelaic acid is better.Because I have CC (closed comedones) and I wanted to include an active ingredient in my skin care even though I knew it's difficult😭. Now should I switch it with azelaic acid or not. Btw I have combination skin.
