    Is it okay to use with Finacea?

    Hi! Can this be used in the same skincare routine as Finacea 15% (prescription Azelaic Acid)? How should I use these? I have sensitive, dry & combination skin (enlarged pores & oily T-zone). I use Finacea as prescribed by my dermatologist for Perioral Dermatitis, who recommended using it in the evening. Is it then okay to use this in the morning before my barrier serum & face cream+spf? I also use Retinal once a week as I’m introducing it into my routine. On evenings when I use Retinal, I don’t use Finacea, but is it okay to use Niactil in the morning after a Retinal evening? I appreciate any help I can get! 😊🌸

      Hi Therese 😊 It’s fine to use this in the morning and then your Finacea in the evening. It’s also fine to use this if you use retinal in the evening before! Have a nice day! 🌼

    Perioral Dermatitis + atopic eczema & sensitive skin

    Hi, I suffer from atopic eczema and have had it since I was little, but I very rarely get eczema on my face or body at all nowadays as an adult. However, I also suffer from dry & sensitive skin. I have now developed perioral dermatitis around my mouth/nose after I changed most of my skincare routine all at once about 2 months ago, and started using exfoliating products & stronger Retinal. All of this has made my skin completely freak out. I have stopped using these products, as well as SPF since it can irritate. I am now only using a mild cleanser & moisturizer from Cetaphil, and have been prescribed Finacea (Azelaic acid) which I have only managed to apply for 2 days. Do you think this could work for my PD that has flared up?

    Is it okay to use around the eyes?

    Hi! I'm using Ordinary's Granactive Retinoid 2% today, but I've never dared to use it around the eyes since I thought it was a big no-no! Is it okay to use it around the eyes & also this stronger variant? Thanks in advance!
