In today’s video I share how I use azelaic acid and salicylic acid in my practice. They’re my two favourite acids but I use them differently, depending on the skin issues someone has. I hope you enjoy it!
Excellent video … very informative. I have learnt so much from all your videos over the past few years . I use all your Flawless products and at age 76 am told that l have very good skin ! I am so grateful for all your information . Many heartfelt thanks !
Just a personal note here: I had the pleasure of having lunch with Dr Sam on Sunday. Not only is she funny but has the most flawless beautiful skin. Blown away! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes Dr Sam. " If Skin colour should be change , that's depends on that what you are eating. " And especially oilskin should be more becearful. " Actually mine oilskin so, I'm start using from couple of weeks" (pears facewash) " so, using face creams that's not enough but also we should eat clean and fresh foods. " Thnx Dr Sam 👍😘
Can azelaic acid 2% cause purging or irritate the skin? I have got mild itching in different parts of my face, having red bumps too. In the chin area i used to have closed comedones. Now i can feel they are turning into pimples. Can this be because i have been using azelaic acid all over my face?
Does azelaic acid also help in renewing tanned skin or reversing sun damage on face and neck?I have oily sensitive skin. But My skin loves clay mask and benzoyl peroxide ❤️✨
thanks as always! I use both and happy with the results. on my legs I suffer from ingrown hair, so almost daily I do a sweet scrub and then spread a lotion with glycolic. it helps me for dry skin. if i used Azelaic would it help my ingrown hair? pls you opinion means a lot to me dr Sam🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Hello Dr Sam…dr I'm using granactive redinoid 5 in squalane as per your advice. I dont use any moisturizer with this should i use any? I have combination skin and Its very hot and humid weather here in pakistan so my skin gets oily when i use moisturizer
I use the 10% azelaic acid by TO and it has made wearing sunscreen daily bearable for me. It mattes the skin so that when I apply my “oil free” sunscreen I don’t look too shiny
Guy please help me answer this question. Should I use niacinamide products after or before using acid azelaic products and moisturizers? I am so confused right now.
Hi Dr, thanks for your helpful reviews. A quickie, I am using azelaic and soolantra in combo and it works wonder for me. However, I have not been instructed on when stoping soolantra. Now my skin is perfect in 40 days. Do I have to continue until 3 months as I read anyway? Using 3 times per week at night. Thank you in advance from sunny Spain.
Hi Doctor,first of all thank lot for the informative video as always. i just have a question, i am currently on prescription steroid cream for a bad skin flare up (eumovate cream) and of course when the course finishes in 3 days i have to use the gentelests of products for a while..so when can i re introduce actives back to my skin? (tret and vitamin c) Thank you
Salicylic acid has always saved my pores and brightening/soothed my skin. Azelaic acid always irritated my skin and left a film. Also, I only use salicylic acid in a foaming cleanser (aveeno) so the fact that it’s so powerful yet gentle for a 30 second wash is astounding.
I have super oily acne prone skin. Through my teens, 20, 30 & early 40's I responded really well to topical benzoyl peroxide at 10% in concert with 2% salicylic acid wash and spot treatment. A year ago, At 45 I switched up my routine, to include anti-aging products. I dropped benzoyl peroxide and incorporated retinoids at night and vitamin C during the day…you touched on retinoids but how does Azalaic Acid and/or Salicylic acid applied during the day play with Vitamin C?
Thanks so much for your videos on azelaic acid! I use both of these acids. I never knew salicylic acid was anti-inflammatory. I tend to use salicylic acid for whatever active breakout azelaic acid couldn't prevent. I mainly use azelaic for assistance with hyperpigmentation
First♥️
I use them both in my morning routine. I smell a new salicylic/azelaic product to be released tomorrow.

hey dr sam my question is it okay to use 2% salicylic acid cleanser and tretinoin in the same routine ?

Azelaic for me – dry mature roseacea skin. Salicylic for 15yr hormonal daughter 😁👍
Will azelaic acid prevent milia from forming?
My friends friend was prescribed Azelaic Acid 15% cream, and she said she couldn’t stand it as she felt like it was burning her skin.

Can you please help assist me which product is best to get rid of white and black heads
Does the function of Azaleic acid mean that it will help with keratosis pilaris?
Please, please do a Vitamin C vs Azelaic Acid video. I think they promise similar results in terms of hyperpigmentation
Azaleic acid did so little for me. Went through 2 tubes and it barely made any difference.
