A QUICK & SIMPLE ROUTINE
How to use it?
The concentration that really makes a difference
At 20%, azelaic acid unleashes its full potential: it evens out skin tone, fades hyperpigmentation, and deeply soothes reactive skin. This is the most effective concentration for visible and long-lasting results, from the first weeks of use.
Should you use sunscreen when using it?
The exfoliating effect makes the skin more sensitive to UV rays. It is recommended to apply azelaic acid preferably in the evening, and the following morning to apply a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 50.
What side effects can be expected?
Possible reactions during the adjustment phase include tingling or a slight burning sensation, temporary redness, slight skin dryness, and superficial flaking.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Azelaic acid stands out from other depigmenting active ingredients due to its high skin tolerance. It can be used on all phototypes and is even suitable for sensitive skin or skin prone to redness.
When do we see the first results?
With one to two applications per day, the first effects can be felt after about 1 month of use.
Can it be used during pregnancy?
Azelaic acid is one of the few anti-acne active ingredients generally considered compatible with pregnancy, but medical consultation is essential before any use at 20% concentration.
When should treatment be stopped?
If the redness persists beyond 20-30 minutes, if the skin starts to peel excessively, or if an allergic reaction appears (severe itching, swelling), you should space out applications or reduce the concentration used.
