Dr. Dray, on a weekend vlog, could you do a video and your vlog equipment and mic(s) you use. Thank you.
I am totally interested and would love to hear this. You seem like such a practical polymath, Doctor. I’d pay a premium Membership fee to the channel for it, too, so you’re not just giving it away.😊
My skin absolutely hates Azelaic I’ve tried rinsing it off immediately after and put 2 moisturizers on before hand even with 5 percent and it always burns and stings my skin.
Do you use Tretinoin?
@MrVariety04tazarotene but even trying azelaic with tazarotene not being on it has made my skin burn. My skin just can’t tolerate AA
Was it with multiple formulations or just one that caused this for you?
@YinYanUzumakiI’ve tried the ordinary and a few off brand ones. It still does it. Same with niacinimide. But funny enough my skin tolerates tazarotene and tretinoin
@Spenceycat123thats interesting cause while tretinoin is difficult on skin azelaic is a breeze for me and doesnt sting even a little ( i use on with tranaxemic acid in it too)
Prescription azelaic acid has been useful for me, but this particular product was not. It’s hydrating very easy to incorporate, but I don’t think the formula is optimized for effectiveness. For over the counter products, I find the Paula’s choice product to be much more effective
Perfect. Please read my long comment I just left as I’m very strongly interested in asking my Dr for prescriptions too alongside my Tretinoin. Thanks so much
Try The Inky List
PC is the best.
I love your eyeshadow. Looks great!
I’ve been curious about this anua azalic acid serum. I have it on my list for sure.
I am prescribed to 15% Azelaic and switched to OTC inky list 10% Azelaic and haven’t noticed any difference in benefits from prescription 15% to otc 10%. Still helps with redness and soothing the same. I didn’t like the formula of the prescription one that’s the only reason for me switching. So that’s just my personal experience. I may try this anua one next.
If you don’t mind me asking what specifically was wrong with the prescription? I’ve been prescribed and love Tretinoin last 4 years and going to talk to my Dr I think about adding this as I’ve been reading alot lately they compliment one another well. Thanks so much
@MrVariety04if you get it, your best option is the Azelaic Acid EMULSION it makes a heck of a difference. I use Naturium
@MrVariety04prescription azelaic acid may not be very cosmetically elegant, can be a bit gritty. Guessing that might be it
@SleeplessBeauty_AlexandraThat makes sense but makes you wonder why they don’t or can’t formulate it better. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I always say the skincare community is the best people on YT.
I have a growing ch mostly around fitness and bodybuilding nd trying to use that to help change the narrative that men don’t use skincare. My next upload is actually going to be my routine.
As much as fitness has improved my confidence and self esteem, nothing has made me more confident than what learning about and the results I’ve gotten through learning about and getting the results I have through a solid skincare routine.
By the way, LOVE your “SleeplessBeauty” name as we communicate at 03:07 AM where I’m at anyway😅.
What percentage is effective for prescription to treat melasma?
Name of the eyeshadow please!
I just got this in the mail today, glad to see you reccomend it. I love azelaic acid and my husband uses it too. We both have uneven redness and notice this ingredient helps even the overall tone of our faces
That eyeliner is really pretty! I like Azelaic acid I use it in my rotation
In Spain you can buy ACMED 20% OTC
These are great tips, I’m 26 but starting to notice fine lines from sleeping on my side.
i have two lines under and on the side of my eyes from also sleeping on my side… its so frustrating cause there is no solution for it.
@PersephoneMoritry sleeping on a satin pillowcase or shirt that might help
Gooooooorgeous make up❤
I use both. 15% azelaic acid in the morning and .1% tretinoin at night, every other day. My skin looks amazing!
hi, did you previously have hyperpigmentation??
@sweetpotatoemama Yes, I have post inflammatory hyperpigmentation from previous acne. It hasn’t completely faded since that’s a long term process, but it’s definitely improved.
@sweetpotatoemamai use alpha arbutin & Kojic acid, works amazing and apply Sunscreen 3x a day
@sweetpotatoemamai use alpha arbutin & Kojic acid, works amazing and apply Sunscreen 3x a day
Can you use both at the same time, e.g. AZA first and a few mins later followed with tret or vice versa? Have you ever tried it? What about the order, which goes first?
Doc, you are so beautiful❤
Woah Dr Dray …you look fantastic! Bit like Natalie Portman!
How would you layer prescription strength azelaic acid and adapalene?
That prescription strength azelaic acid always makes my skincare peel off .
Thank you! ᥫ᭡
I have prescription strength at 15% out-of-pocket cost is $20 last about six months and my prescription strength tretinoin is covered by my insurance. If you have to pay out-of-pocket, it’s only about 20 bucks. Just ask your PCP to prescribe it. Hope this helps 😊 and yes you can apply both of em FYI it all depends on YOUR skin
FYI to all asking as for me I mix it with just about any of my skincare products cuz it can be mixed with just about everything it’s safe to
i love the anua azelaic acid serum!! i previously tried the AA products from The Ordinary and Naturium, but they were irritating and I couldn’t use them frequently. The one from Anua, however, I can use every day!!
