Hi Anna🌸
It is basically possible to use Azelaic Acid and Epiduo in the same routine, but at different times to avoid extra irritation. The Azelaic Acid 10% Serum from The Inkey List can be used in the morning while you use Epiduo in the evening. This is a common way to reduce redness/scarring while also treating acne.
Tips for safe combination:
Watch for your skin's reaction: If you notice a lot of dryness, stinging, or irritation, it may be wise to reduce usage (for example, use Azelaic Acid every other day or less frequently).
Moisture: Use a good moisturizer both morning and night to support the skin barrier, especially if your skin becomes stressed.
Sun protection: The skin can become more sensitive to the sun when using active ingredients, so feel free to use a sunscreen every morning.
If you experience persistent irritation, it is always wise to consult with a doctor or dermatologist since Epiduo has already been prescribed by a doctor😊
