AcidFix – Azelaic acid 20%

Description

• azelaic acid kills bacteria on your skin that causes acne. Using a 20% cream can lower the amount of bacteria on the skin.
• It is reported to be as effective as skin lightening serum. Azelaic acid with tretinoin causes more skin lightening after 3 months than azelaic acid alone. Azelaic acid is applied twice daily for several (up to 8) months; lightening starts after 1 to 2 months.
• Both 20% azelaic acid and 4% hydroquinone are equally effective.
• azelaic acid is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for hyperpigmentation in darker-skinned patients.
• apply moisturizer 10 to 20 minutes after applying azelaic acid depending on consistency to give it a bit more time to absorb into your skin.
• Azelaic acid works by lightening any dark spots left by acne scarring or sun exposure by slowing the production of melanin, and by blocking abnormal melanocytes — pigment-producing cells that have gone haywire
• For mild to moderate rosacea: Adults—Apply a thin layer to the affected area(s) two times a day, in the morning and evening
