[Acne] Azelaic acid cleared my hormonal adult acne after 6 years of trying everything

Beauty Tips For Body Care
First off, thank you to this community. You’ve helped so much. This is my first post and hopefully will be my only one, as I have finally got my acne under control and have a routine that I’m happy with after years of searching. The key for me has been in finding azelaic acid (specifically finacea) - the only thing that has ever truly made a difference to my skin. I’ve gone from constant struggles with huge hormonal acne to weeks without ANY acne within 4 months.Background - I always had good skin as a teenager but then got adult onset acne at about age 21, with it getting progressively worse until a few months ago (I’m now 27). It is definitely hormonal linked. I would get the occasional cyst and many papules and pustules on my chin - I would say 3 big bad ones per month plus a lot of smaller ones that really got me down. I have tried so so many things (differin, other retinol, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, tea tree, etc etc etc) and was months away from starting accutane or birth control. I read on here about azelaic acid and bought a tube of financea and haven’t looked back. I now have occaisonal small papules and pustules still, but they are so much smaller than usual and I have whole weeks with completely clear skin. I no longer wear makeup.RoutineMORNING - cleanse with CeraVe hydrating cleanser - The ordinary niacidimide & zinc - finacea 15% azelaic acid - la Roche posay antihelios suncreen SPF50EVENING - cerave cleanser - finacea 15% azelaic acid - every few nights The Ordinary salicylic acidI really hope this post helps other people as it’s been such a game changer for me. Good luck everyone!
