This stuff has saved my skin
I was suffering from bad hormonal acne on my chin. I went to a dermatologist and she put me on antibiotics for three months and prescribed very agressive creams. I tried it for three months but my acne got worse. I still had the Azelaic Acid Suspension laying around and decided to give it a go, in o...

Received oxidized serum
This was my first time ordering and sadly I received an already oxidized serum which is supposed to be unoppened, most probably it's a batch that is expired as the website states unoppened products have 3 years shelf life. I will seek to return this product and hope there won't be much hassle in t...

WOW JUST WOW
I just bought this 3 DAYS AGO, & i can see a difference on my CHIN CHEEKS AND SKIN TEXTURE. I paired it with the Aloe 2% NAG solution and just wow. ONLY 3 DAYS. My skin is alot brighter my breakouts are nearly almost all gone. Ive tried everything and i guess AZELAIC ACID IS THAT GIRL!
Silky texture! So far so good...
I started using this a couple of weeks ago for redness in my cheeks that I suspect may be rosacea. In any case, the redness seems to have calmed down slightly, but I understand that azelaic acid needs a minimum of 6 weeks to show clear improvement, so I'm going to continue to use it and see what happens. The texture is thick and silky, no grittiness, despite the fact that it's a suspension. I haven't noticed any stinging, either. I put it on last in my routine, on bare skin OR after a serum or light moisturizer. I try to use it 2x a day, but some days I only manage to do it 1x.
Formula Change on my Holy Grail
This has been my holy grail, everyday product with incredible results but after having an alarming experience on the first day of vacation, the company confirmed they changed the formulation. It also now has a strong fish odor on the skin.

Helped with my pregnancy acne
My dermatologist recommended this product for the horomonal acne I was getting during my pregnancy. I had painful, deep, cystic acne all along my cheeks and jaw line. After using this product morning + night for just over a month now, my acne is almost completely gone! I even feel like it helped even out my skin tone. On my second bottle already. Would HIGHLY recommend for anyone dealing with acne! Definitely use consistently if you want to see results… like i said, i had to use it for about 5 weeks before my face started to clear completely.
I wish they made bigger tubes.
Tube hardly has anything in it.
