Beauty Tips For Body Care
I ordered Azelaic Acid 8% from Garden of Wisdom after reading a great review of it here. I patch tested it for 2 weeks, and 2 nights ago I upgraded to all-over the face use.I have fair, dry, sensitive, acne-prone skin that tends to get bright red hyperpigmentation and an indentation when I have acne on, or under, my cheekbones in particular. Everywhere else on my face, PIH and acne fade very fast. I've been on Tretinoin .025 for 9 months and it doesn't fade my PIH or take down swelling as fast as AzA has for me. I've been using Niacinamide products for a year and it NEVER made a difference this quickly. It usually takes me a year to fully get rid of hyperpigmentation.B&A: https://imgur.com/a/4UoEXoOLEFT: Day 1, BEFORE using AzA for 1st time MIDDLE: Day 2 RIGHT: Day 3, after only 2 nights of useNote: I have leftover eye and brow makeup in pic #1. I tried to get similar bathroom lighting and angle in all 3 pics. I know they're not too quality, but I think they represent what's going on pretty well!$19.15 for 1 oz of GoW 8% AzA. It comes in a black pump bottle.This AzA is a creamy, watery, toner-like consistency. It stings my skin a bit upon applying, but goes away after a minute. It dries out my skin a bit, so I have to follow it up with moisturizer and an occlusive after letting it sit for 30 minutes.This stuff has quickly toned down the swelling, cut down the irritation and pain, and noticeably taken my hyperpigmentation down a shade or so. I look forward to using this every other night and seeing what happens with months of use! I plan to alternate Tret and AzA every other night.I highly recommend trying this out for swollen, irritated cystic acne and hyperpigmentation.
