My “acid with extra” is finally hitting the big-time - and in no setting more fitting than in the treatment of hyperpigmentation.

Not only does it help with sun spots and post acne marks, but it also takes care of stubborn issues like melasma too.

Hello Dr Sam. I never used Azelaic acid before, how long should I use it before I should see results ? So that I can stop it after x amount of time if I don’t see any improvement… I like to keep my routine minimal with no unnecessary products / steps. Thank you.

I wish your product was sold on the US market. I'd try it. I live in the Caribbean and as such our rate of exchange is 10.00 pound to my TT dollar.

I listened to another online dermatologist. She said bakuchiol can promote breast cancer growth.

Thank you for all the great info on azelaic acid. I have melasma and would like to start using azelaic acid. Can one begin by using the prescription gel at 14%(highest % allowed in Canada)? I believe it's called Finacea.

Hi Dr.Sam😊 is states that most skincare should be stored below 25°C, but I live in a very hot country 30° - 40° C . In my situation is it better to store skincare in the fridge?

I bought these products based on the excellent reviews. I was actually using dermalogica for 6 months and it’s highly expensive and I felt that it didn’t really get rid of my dark spots.

[skygazr]

I really wanted to like the brightly serum as I loved TO's azelaic acid, but I broke out each time using it. Think it could be the bakuchiol, had the same issue using bakuchiol oil

Would you recommend these for hyperpigmentation on the body too? I have icanthosis nigracans around my neck and groin. It's so bad I shower in the dark so I don't have to see it 😩

Where can you buy these products from please

[ydsfoth]

I need some the products how I can get some to buy

Hoping prescription azelic acid will help me after my Melasma pigment rebounded from hydroquinone:(

[Kelly-bvoj]

I have Melasma/pigmentation and I was told by another derm that if I use Azelic acid at night before my retinoid it will increase absorption of the ret although you say it should be used in the morning after vit C and ret at night. Now I am confused 😕. Please help!

[samerarachyal]

Is hydroquinone good for hyperpigmentation?

[priyasaha]

As i am doing skin care recently with ordinary product like niacinamide 10% and hyaluronic 2% and vitamin c. As i have a pigmentation problem so i want to add azelaic acid also. Would you please tell when should i use this product for best result. Please suggest me.

[qtinibe]

I was Afraid to Ordered the herbal medication for melasma, Now I understand that only herbal medication can cure such illnesses, i start seeing changes on time skin at the 2nd week of using the medication, it took me 1 month before the patches were gone completely.
