"Azelaic acid really helps me with my redness a lot and my hyperpigmentation. Azelaic acid for the win for almost every skin issue I have."
Top Pick: azelaic acid
Approved
"Azelaic acid, this is the one by Geek and Gorgeous, their A-Acid, which is my favorite azelaic acid. It calms, soothes, and reduces irritation in the skin. Whilst retinal is a lot less sensitizing than retinol, you might still get some sensitivity, particularly if you're new and starting from scratch. However, if you incorporate azelaic acid alongside it, that'll minimize any sensitivity and irritation in the skin and I feel just get you enhanced results. Azelaic acid is also great at evening out the skin tone, so it's definitely a quick win to pair alongside your retinal of choice for just some enhanced results and less risk of sensitivity and irritation."

HOW TO BOOST SKIN COLLAGEN - Best Anti Aging Skincare Routine
"The azelaic acid is so gentle and it works wonders if like me you've got very acne prone skin because azelaic acid is a derivative of azelaic acid clinically proven to actually target acne causing bacteria better than its traditional pure form azelaic acid. You can use whatever azelaic acid you want in a collagen boosting routine because it's going to help minimize inflammation like that tranexamic acid will, so again protect and preserve. I absolutely love this."
