Azelaic acid gel is used to clear the bumps, lesions, and swelling caused by rosacea. Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness, flushing, and pimples on the face. It is a true 4 star product which can do wonders to your skin.
Azelaic acid belongs to the class of medications called dicarboxylic acids. It works to treat acne by killing the bacteria that infect pores and by decreasing production of keratin, a natural substance that can lead to the development of acne. Azelaic acid cream is a 20 % topical cream, the first new prescription drug indicated for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. The cream from Azelaic Acid is mild, moisturizing, and non-comedogenic. This product also has minimal side effects.
All the customers of Azelaic acid cream have talked highly of this topical medication. It does not cause burning, stinging, extremely hot skin or redness. I recommend this product highly.

Best medication I've tried in 16 years and I've been on a lot of different ones during that time. It made me break out in a lot of little white heads the first week, but after that cleared me up pretty well. The acne animal is still under the skin but contained well. I've been on it for approximately 2 years.

I have been battling acne since I was in high school over 20 years ago. I have been using Azelaic Acid for 2 weeks and I am seeing some results. When I first started using it I broke out really bad but later on it started clearing up. I have hope that this medication will do the trick for everyone.
