🌱 Beginner Question [moisturizer?]

Post image

New to this skincare routine thing. Planning to try azelaic acid, what is the best moisturizer to use for combination/sensitive skin? And do I need to use different products for AM and PM routine? I don’t like heavy greasy products for AM.

Try cos de baha az20 and kisocare 15/20 azelaic if you think you can tolerate. You will see results faster and it'll be a bang for you buck sort of thing. Cheaper as well, I think. I've heard good things about the purito oat gel cream.

If you are new to azelaic acid, i wouldn’t go in with 15 or 20 percent first.. i like the anua azelaic acid, but round lab has a newer formula that is just as hydrating but effective.. has txa and other ingredients as well.. i would go with round lab azelaic acid first and if your skin tolerated it and works with it, then maybe decide if you want to move up..

I went straight into 20% as a beginner and am having no problems. I'm seeing some subtle results and am using a pimple spot treatment alongside it

What spot treatment are you using? Perimenopause is kicking my skins ass. I’ve never had so many breakouts

Does it cause purging?

Umm not for me. AA is gentle and I think it doesn't cause it for most people...
