10% azelaic acid vs Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Daily 10% azelaic acid fixed it for me. Use it as a spot treatment for the red areas after cleansing skin and dabbing dry. A thin layer of moisturizer on top only (no toner, no serum, less is more with these areas, no other exfoliants; less is more for these areas).

For acne, maybe try azelaic acid 10% a few nights a week since it’s usually eczema friendly and helps with texture + dark marks.

Overall the Tret was a game changer but I’m so happy I started on the Azelaic acid because it really helped with the redness and inflammation.

i’ve also been using Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant for over 20 years.

I would tweeze them out or gentle exfoliate with Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant (someone mentioned above)

I recommended the microfoliant because it's super gentle but very effective,no heavy scent, free of the common irritants and you're able to use it daily which is great if you're noticing texture/flakiness.

Actives/Exfoliants: The Ordinary’s glycolic acid about 2x a week, Dermalogica daily microfoliant as needed (couple times a week)

Great for exfoliating away the flakiness from dry skin, decent at pore cleansing, will sometimes use instead of the Medicube pads in the shower.
