Frequently asked questions about azelaic acid
How long does it take for azelaic acid to work?
The length of time it takes for you to see results from azelaic acid depends on your skin condition, how severe it is, and your response to the cream. People typically see an improvement in their acne after about 4 weeks of treatment. People being treated for rosacea might need to use this cream for up to 12 weeks before their skin starts to get better.
Can I use azelaic acid to lighten dark spots on my skin?
Yes, Azelaic acid can lighten skin. This cream blocks tyrosinase, a protein in your body that makes melanin. Melanin is the brown or black pigment that’s responsible for things like skin or eye color.
Can I wear makeup over azelaic acid?
Yes, you can apply cosmetics over azelaic acid cream after it dries to give your skin the chance to absorb the cream. If you apply cosmetics before it dries, your skin might not absorb the full dose of the cream.

Better than any 10% azelaic acid cream I’ve used recently. Really helped improve inflammation and breakouts, also noticed a decrease in my clogged pores. Going to try the 20% strength, next to really tackle my clogged pores.
