Frequently asked questions

Does Azelaic Acid lighten skin?

Azelaic Acid may alter skin color, particularly in individuals with darker skin. If you observe any changes in skin color, consult your doctor immediately.

How frequently should Azelaic Acid be applied?

Apply Azelaic Acid to the affected areas twice daily (morning and evening), unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Those with very sensitive skin should start with once daily application in the evening during the first week, then increase to twice daily.

Is Azelaic Acid suitable for treating melasma?

Azelaic Acid is not officially approved for melasma treatment; it is primarily used for acne and rosacea. However, it may be prescribed for melasma at your doctor's discretion.

Is Azelaic Acid effective for treating blackheads?

Azelaic Acid targets the bacteria responsible for acne (Propionibacterium acnes) and reduces the buildup of skin cells that clog pores, leading to blackheads and whiteheads.

What is the proper method for applying Azelaic Acid?

Wash the treatment area thoroughly with water, using a mild cleanser if the skin is oily. Dry the skin before applying the cream, then gently rub it in. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly after application.

How long does it take for Azelaic Acid to show its full effect?

The effectiveness of Azelaic Acid varies by individual and depends on the initial severity of acne. Typically, noticeable improvement occurs after about 4 weeks, and for optimal results, it may be used for several months, but not exceeding 12 months continuously.

What is the recommended amount of Azelaic Acid for application?

Apply Azelaic Acid as prescribed by your doctor. Generally, use 2.5 cm (approximately 0.5 g) of cream for the entire face. Adjust the amount if treating acne on the chest and back as well.
