Dermatica Clarifying Azelaic Acid 15% Cream | Lightweight and Fragrance Free Skincare | Gentle and Effective for all Skin Types

I've been suffering with rosacia for around 3 years. It's eased over time, to a point where I was just struggling with redness, purpling and spots on my nose with regular flare-ups. My skin care routine was basic (washing face in shower then using an SPF moisturiser). I decided to try azelaic acid 10%; helped a lot but just not quite enough. That's when I decided to try the dermatica. At the same time, I changed my whole face care routine, introduced a derma cleanser, dermatica and aveeno calm and restore SPF moisturiser. I've now been following this routine for 6 weeks and for me, the improvements have been brilliant! Within that 6 weeks, I've had the odd small spot on my nose, but no flare ups at all! Over time, I've also started using it on my cheeks and forehead. The dermatica cream itself is light and gives my face a really soft feel, whilst absorbing really quickly. You only need a very small amount. Tingled quite a bit at first, but that's calmed down over the time I've been using it. For me it's definitely helped my rosacia symptoms and I'm hoping that as I continue to use it, the symptoms will disappear altogether.

I’ve been using this on and off for afew weeks to ease my chin congestion. My chin has had blocked pores for years causing bumps and outbreaks and I’ve tried most things from retinol, glycolic acid to AHAs to shift it. This stuff had an immediate effect on both the redness and bumps under the skin without any irritation. After afew days use it made a noticeable improvement. I e played around with a week of use and a week off to using every other day and find every two days keeps my skin clear. I stumbled on it by accident and I’m not familiar with the brand but would recommend and will try their other products. It’s a small bottle but you use between 1-2 small pumps.

It is overall good. I can definitely say the formulation is pleasant to ise and it is lightweight and easy to spread on the face. However the smell bothers me (although its gone fairly wuickly after I apply moisturiser. I feel like it is not working as good as Skinoren, yes my pores remain clean (but not as clean as before-I moved to this after finishing skinoren tube), but dark spots are not changing at all. I feel like thicker formula whilst not wearable under makeup was sticking better to my skin and therefore give better effect. I am convinced if you didnt use azelaic acid before this will be helpful. I wanted to love this but I will probably not buy again after finishing this bottle.

Seven months ago I started noticing my skin was getting redder and more inflamed every day. I've had several different, often conflicting diagnosis - mainly acne and rosacea, but the medications and creams I was given by my doctors didn't help. I looked around trying to find a product that could seemed to have benefits to both of these conditions and decided to try this Azaleic Acid. It's very easy to apply - the nozzle allows me to get just the right (pea sized) amount out of the bottle, no mess, no fuss. The bottle has clear instructions for use, start by using it once a day then build up to morning and night. This does create a slight tingling sensation on my skin, but not burning feeling, which from my reading is typical and shows the product is working. It's a very mild feeling and doesn't bother me at all, especially after regular use. I'm careful to space the use of this out - giving at least 10-15 mins before moisturising to avoid diluting the effect of this. This is a product that requires patience. You will not see immediate results instantly. It has taken several months of consistent, mostly daily use, to start seeing my skin coming back to a lighter, more natural shade and for my breakouts to reduce. Luckily, I purchased 4 months ago and there still seems to be a decent amount left in the bottle, so I feel that the £20 I spent on it has been good value for money, as it's lasted quite a while and just a small amount a day, combined with other effective skin care habits, has gone a long way to restoring my skin and my confidence. Very much recommended.

Fantastic product. Has made such a difference in just a week on my skin. I have been using 10% azelaic acid for some time but there has been a noticable difference and improvement in the texture of my skin and a big reduction in redness with this particular product. Dries in quickly but does not dry out my skin. Would highly recommend.

Works after a while but if you have inflamed skin you will find it difficult to cope with the stinging and itching it causes

This is fabulous for perioral dermatitis. Reduces inflammation and improves the skin texture. Burns on first application then skin becomes more sensitive but preserve for 12 weeks and it will improve the skin. Make sure to wear SPF 50 daily

Unfortunately this didn’t work well for me at all. I bought it as an alternative to Skinoren, which I’ve used successfully for hormonal acne, but this formulation was nowhere near as effective and was incredibly irritating on my skin. Every application caused intense itching — not just mild tingling, but genuinely uncomfortable to the point where I wanted to scratch my face off. The itching resolved almost immediately after washing it off, so I suspect it’s the formulation/vehicle rather than azelaic acid itself. Sadly had to stop using it and throw it away. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, definitely patch test first.

I have been using this product for a few months now. It has been a journey but it seems to work. At first it was a little strong for my skin but that was because of some other products that I was using along side of it. It can be itchy but that was because of the way I was using it. I have seen results and I like them. It works

This facial cream is actually pretty nice. It feels light and spreads easy. It does not have a greasy residue that is hard to work with. It feels hydrating and not too dewy or drying.

I have been using azelaic acid products for a year, ever since I discovered them. I have used a lot of different types of chemical exfoliants over the years, some work and some don't and some also do different things. I think azelaic acid is fairly gentle, it can itch slightly but that can be helped if your skin is slightly moist when putting it on. Azelaic works well for the redness I have on my nose and cheeks. I have tiny capillaries that at times can be very red, azelaic acid is the only product I have ever used that has reduced them and if I stop using it I can see a difference. I think this is a great product to try if you are interested in azelaic acid.

i have a few other products from this brand and i like it! This cream contains an acid meant to help with exfoliation. i didn't notice any irritation and the cream did help to hydrate my skin without breaking me out!

I've had good results with azelaic acid products in the past, and this one was no different. It's called a cream on the label, but it's pretty lightweight for a cream and it absorbs quickly. It seems to help refine the look of my skin without being as strong as something like retinol.
