What the gurus are saying

This creamy pink cleanser earns praise for bringing azelaic acid into an easy-to-use wash format. Gurus found it works for rosacea, acne, and malassezia yeast (sometimes called fungal acne), though the actives rinse away quickly so it is gentler than leave-on azelaic products. Those new to azelaic acid or easing into a routine may want to start here, since it is hard to overdo a cleanser you rinse off.

"With menopause there are so many different things that happen, so you'll hardly ever find anything in my body drawer [...] that's only moisturizing. What you will find is a lot of like this SkinFix Azelaic AHA BHA Cleanser."

"This is probably my favorite azelaic acid product, and this is from Skin Fix. This is a cleanser, and yes, this works for rosacea. This works for fungal acne, which doesn't actually exist. It's called pityriasis folliculitis or malassezia yeast that causes this fungal infection. This product was literally created to help with all three. This is a really beautiful pink wash. I've been using this non-stop. I actually, this is my second bottle."

Top Pick: azelaic acid cleanser

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Salicylic acid

Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, so it can get into a pore rather than just working on the surface. That is why it has long-standing evidence for blackheads and milder acne.

Alpha hydroxy acids

Alpha hydroxy acids loosen the bonds holding dead cells at the surface. The evidence supports smoother texture and more even tone over time, and they can leave skin more sensitive to sun.
