AZELAIC ACID FOR ACNE & ROSACEA...

CHICO ACNE ROSACEA    916SKIN - ACNE TREATMENT CLINIC

AZELAIC ACID...
Azelaic acid, found in wheat, rye and barley can be an effective topical for treating acne and/or acne rosacea (papulopustular rosacea). Many dermatologists prescribe azelaic acid for the treatment of acne rosacea at a percentage of 15 and higher, but prescription strength is often times unnecessary. In clinical trials, a combination of non-prescription strength azelaic acid and salicylic acid proved to eliminate redness and clear blemishes in acne rosacea patients without irritating the skin.

Although azelaic and salicylic acid are both anti-inflammatories, some patients will experience redness when using azelaic or salicylic-based skincare products. The reaction may be due to pH, percentage, or another ingredient in the formulation. Before purchasing rosacea or acne skincare products, it's important to seek the guidance of a skin health practitioner for sensitivity testing of products. Taking this step is crucial in selecting skincare products that work for you and not against you.

PRODUCT SENSITIVITY TESTING IS AVAILABLE AT 916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC.
