Dermatica Clarifying Azelaic Acid 20% Cream | Lightweight and Fragrance Free Skincare | Gentle and Effective for all Skin Types

Really love the product. It does sting/make me itchy for about 15 mins after application but I'm finding this is reducing with use over time (about 2 weeks so far.) My skin is so clear and absolutely glowing. It hasn't helped much with the redness I havent from broken capillaries but I also expected that would be the case. But my skin texture and tone have evened out lovely, and it has reduced the visibility of pores. Would definitely recommend this even with sensitive skin, although it stings it doesnt cause any visible irritation like I experienced with retinols

I've been suffering with rosacia for around 3 years. It's eased over time, to a point where I was just struggling with redness, purpling and spots on my nose with regular flare-ups. My skin care routine was basic (washing face in shower then using an SPF moisturiser). I decided to try azelaic acid 10%; helped a lot but just not quite enough. That's when I decided to try the dermatica. At the same time, I changed my whole face care routine, introduced a derma cleanser, dermatica and aveeno calm and restore SPF moisturiser. I've now been following this routine for 6 weeks and for me, the improvements have been brilliant! Within that 6 weeks, I've had the odd small spot on my nose, but no flare ups at all! Over time, I've also started using it on my cheeks and forehead. The dermatica cream itself is light and gives my face a really soft feel, whilst absorbing really quickly. You only need a very small amount. Tingled quite a bit at first, but that's calmed down over the time I've been using it. For me it's definitely helped my rosacia symptoms and I'm hoping that as I continue to use it, the symptoms will disappear altogether.

It is overall good. I can definitely say the formulation is pleasant to ise and it is lightweight and easy to spread on the face. However the smell bothers me (although its gone fairly wuickly after I apply moisturiser. I feel like it is not working as good as Skinoren, yes my pores remain clean (but not as clean as before-I moved to this after finishing skinoren tube), but dark spots are not changing at all. I feel like thicker formula whilst not wearable under makeup was sticking better to my skin and therefore give better effect. I am convinced if you didnt use azelaic acid before this will be helpful. I wanted to love this but I will probably not buy again after finishing this bottle.

Really pleased with this cream. This is the second time I have bought it. I have suffered for years with rosacea with small white head pimples. I've tried many kinds of skin care but this is by far the best I've used. Within a few applications all spots had gone. Skin feels softer and no bumps!! My skin is still red (although it is much less angry) but I can live with that. Overall I would recommend if anyone has the same symptoms

This has literally saved my face! I started with the 15% azelaic acid and gradually worked my way up to the 20%, and it’s been amazing seeing how far my skin has come. It has effectively cleared the majority of my spots and made such a noticeable difference to my skin. One thing I’d definitely recommend is keeping your skin well moisturised and always using sunscreen alongside it. I personally use La Roche-Posay sunscreen, which has worked really well for me. I’m so happy with my results.Thank you, Dermatica! ❤️

Ordered 3x now; first one was great, no smell and did what it needed to do. Second one I ordered smelt very off and just that expired smell and was more watery. Expiry date said it was in date but this was clearly deffective or contaminated. Put it in for a return but didn’t end up doing it. Got a 3rd bottle to try my luck as I really liked it the first time but unfortunately it was the same again, smells expired and comes out watery! maybe don’t order it from amazon. I will try order elsewhere to see if it’s just an Amazon issue

I got this as I have freckles and just really uneven skin tone. I've used it 4 times so far and I've noticed a noticeable difference already been early days. First day it had a slight burning feeling but completely fine since then. Would absolutely recommend. One squirt is more than enough to cover my face so I'd say it's definitely value for money. My skin also feels a lot softer and smoother.

Unfortunately this didn’t work well for me at all. I bought it as an alternative to Skinoren, which I’ve used successfully for hormonal acne, but this formulation was nowhere near as effective and was incredibly irritating on my skin. Every application caused intense itching — not just mild tingling, but genuinely uncomfortable to the point where I wanted to scratch my face off. The itching resolved almost immediately after washing it off, so I suspect it’s the formulation/vehicle rather than azelaic acid itself. Sadly had to stop using it and throw it away. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, definitely patch test first.
