Questions about this product
Answered by Dr. Leslie Baumann, MD, FAAD · Miami, FL · 200+ partner practices
Yes, inflammation plays a key role in both inflammation and
pigmentation, so finding a product that addresses both redness and pigmentation
is a good way to keep pimples from leaving a dark mark. Derma Made Azelaic Acid
Cream 15% does this by calming inflammation and acting as a tyrosinase
inhibitor, which helps reduce dark spots caused by hyperpigmentation.
First, find out your Baumann Skin Type to help you choose
the right rosacea-safe sunscreen and anti-redness moisturizer (there are 16
skin types!). Start your routine with Derma Made Medi Wash, followed by an eye
cream, then apply this azelaic acid cream, a moisturizer, and a chemical free
sunscreen in the morning. At night, the cleanser, treatment serum, and
moisturizer and any rosacea prescription medications will depend on your skin
type and additional concerns like dehydration, skin aging, or acne. Check out
our blog for detailed rosacea skincare routines.
Yes, Derma Made Azelaic Acid Cream 15% is formulated to be
gentle enough for daily use, even on sensitive skin. If you have resistant skin
but want to lighten dark spots, it can be used 2 times a day.
Azelaic acid is excellent for normal oily, combination, and slightly
oily skin because it is lightweight and non-comedogenic. However, it will feel
to greasy of moderately oily and extremely oily skin types. If you have
slightly oily skin, you can skip using a moisturizer after it.
This soothing, skin lightening cream targets multiple
concerns simultaneously, including rosacea, hyperpigmentation, acne, melasma, and
dull skin. Its anti-inflammatory properties calm redness, while its ability to
inhibit melanin production helps reduce dark spots. Additionally, azelaic
acid’s gentle exfoliation helps smooth skin, making it brighter.
Yes, azelaic acid is known for its antibacterial properties,
which help reduce the bacteria that cause acne. This anti-redness and
brightening cream helps to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent
future breakouts while treating existing acne and the post-inflammatory
hyperpigmentation that can follow. It’s a versatile option for those dealing
with both acne and discoloration. Combine it with a retinoid if that is
appropriate for your Baumann Skin Type.
It is more affordable than many azelaic acid creams. It offers
a unique combination of anti-inflammatory and pigmentation-reducing benefits,
making it stand out from other treatments. While ingredients like hydroquinone
and retinoids are often used to lighten dark spots, azelaic acid is a gentler
option that’s more suitable for sensitive skin or those with rosacea. It treats
pigmentation without causing irritation, making it an excellent alternative for
those with sensitive or redness-prone skin.
