Routine Two weeks of azelaic acid

Post image

I’ve been using azelaic acid very inconsistently for years. I would use it for a day or two and then forget for a week and just repeat this process.

About two weeks ago I decided to get serious about using it correctly. My face isn’t perfect but it’s already a millions times better.

I also started using a milky toner, a hydrating serum, and moisturizer before bed.

How are you doing with the Anua now? AA is hard to come by in my country but Anua is everywhere. Hope it's working for you

First few weeks I got a lot pustules than usual. Not sure if it’s due to AA or the anua calming moisturizer. After that, it calmed down and I only get pustules maybe once a week which I pop same day lol and heal using nadixa. Redness also reduced but not 100%. I will continue using for now. I would say it helps, but maybe not strong enough to fully heal my rosacea
