Dermatologists' New Combo: Azelaic Acid & Vitamin C for Total Skin Care
Dermatologists are now recommending a combination of azelaic acid and vitamin C for a comprehensive skincare routine. These ingredients, when used together, can address a range of skin concerns, from acne to aging.
Azelaic acid, found in products like Finacea and Azelex (manufactured by Allergan), is a versatile ingredient. It reduces skin inflammation, treats rosacea, and prevents acne breakouts. Meanwhile, vitamin C, available in serums, creams, and lotions, supports aging skin by minimizing fine lines and protecting against UV damage. Both ingredients also help reduce dark patches and blemishes, brightening the skin.
To incorporate both into a routine, dermatologists suggest applying vitamin C first, allowing it to absorb, before following up with azelaic acid. Both ingredients are generally well-tolerated but may cause mild skin irritation.
Azelaic acid and vitamin C, when used together under professional guidance, can significantly improve skin health and appearance. They are safe for most users, making them popular choices in dermatology.
