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

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

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.

I’m not sure whether I have rosacea or not as I’m waiting on a very long list to see a dermatologist. I decided to try azelaic acid to see if it improves my skin. So far, it has massively improved the texture of my facial skin. It’s so much smoother, the pimples/bumps have gone and it’s looking more radiant and hydrated. I’m still quite red, so will continue to use it and see if that improves, but even if it doesn’t, my skin feels nicer already and I’ll just use a green tinged cream to cover up when I need to. I did find it stings a little when you first start using it, but it wears off after an hour or so and your skin does get used to it. It doesn’t have a horrible scent, you only need a little so it lasts a long time and offers excellent value, and it’s a great quality product.

Absolutely stunned with the difference in my skin within just 3 days of use. Can see a marked improvement. Less blemishes. Less redness. I personally am not aware of any smell with this product. I noticed some very slight itchiness of the skin on the first night. But haven't noticed the itching since. If unsure whether to try this I would certainly give it a go.

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! ❤️

This is a good product. It’s hydrating and fairly effective. On the other hand it’s no where near as effective as prescription strength AA (I use finacea) and I find the dermatica one still stings and burns when I apply even though Ive been using Azelaic acid for ages

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

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.

it finally cleared my acne!!! that and tretinoin, was using tret alone and didn’t do much until i used it w azelaic acid!!

This facial cream is actually pretty nice. It feels light and spreads easy. It does not have a greasy residue that is hard to work with. It feels hydrating and not too dewy or drying.

I have been using azelaic acid products for a year, ever since I discovered them. I have used a lot of different types of chemical exfoliants over the years, some work and some don't and some also do different things. I think azelaic acid is fairly gentle, it can itch slightly but that can be helped if your skin is slightly moist when putting it on. Azelaic works well for the redness I have on my nose and cheeks. I have tiny capillaries that at times can be very red, azelaic acid is the only product I have ever used that has reduced them and if I stop using it I can see a difference. I think this is a great product to try if you are interested in azelaic acid.

i have a few other products from this brand and i like it! This cream contains an acid meant to help with exfoliation. i didn't notice any irritation and the cream did help to hydrate my skin without breaking me out!

I have been using this product for a few months now. It has been a journey but it seems to work. At first it was a little strong for my skin but that was because of some other products that I was using along side of it. It can be itchy but that was because of the way I was using it. I have seen results and I like them. It works
