This stuff works.
I get hyperpigmentation and red spots after a pimple or breakout. This was something that even accutane could not get rid of. I randomly decided to give this a try after being disappointed by entire bottles of another brand’s azelaic acid. I’ve been using this Azelaic acid for about 7 months now and within the first few months there was a HUGE improvement. My hyperpigmentation and redness are fading and I no longer feel the need to wear a tinted sunscreen as opposed to a clear one everyday.
It is thicker than most serums so I put it on before bed every other night. It also has a mattifying effect for me.
