Azelaic Acid helps minimize the visible signs of dark spots and acne scarring and supports the skin’s ability to clear congestion, reducing the buildup of dead skin cells. Vitamin C helps boost collagen production while simultaneously protecting collagen reserves from degradation. Using the two together can prove beneficial for the skin in a dual manner; when using vitamin C and azelaic Acid, use Vitamin C first and Azelaic acid afterward. You can use them alternately in your morning and night routine by applying Vitamin C serum in the morning and Azelaic Acid at night.
Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of Vitamin B3 that acts as an antioxidant and has a wide range of benefits, including reduction of enlarged pores, controlling oil production, and reducing hyperpigmentation marks on the skin. Combining azelaic Acid and niacinamide gives a double dose of brightening, with azelaic Acid preventing new melanin production while niacinamide preventing the melanin and the pre-existing melanin from changing the color of the skin cells. To add to the benefits, they are effective on similar pH levels and easily tolerated by the skin. If you’re using a moisturizer with niacinamide and an azelaic acid serum, use azelaic Acid before niacinamide and on using a toner containing niacinamide and an azelaic acid serum, use niacinamide first.
Azelaic Acid by The Ordinary is an Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% lightweight cream-gel with azelaic Acid. The gel works on many skin types but can irritate sensitive skin. Before applying Azelaic acid suspension, apply a test patch on a small part of the skin to ensure that you are not sensitive to the gel’s ingredients. Apply a pea-sized amount of the gel to cleansed skin and rub it well before bedtime as a part of your skin routine. Ensure that you use alcohol-free and water-based products with the gel formulation. You can apply a moisturizer or cream on top if desired.
Avoid eating spicy foods, thermally hot foods, and hot drinks like coffee, tea, and other hot beverages while using Azelaic Acid. Alcoholic beverages should also be avoided because of the foam’s flammable nature. Additionally, avoid fire, flame, and smoking during the application period. Deep-cleaning cleansers and astringents should be given a pass during this time as the use of extra astringents, peels, alcohol cleansers, tinctures, or abrasives on your skin while you’re using azelaic Acid can prove abrasive for already sensitive skin. The medication should be used with caution on dark skin because it can cause changes in skin color.
