Azelex Cream (active ingredient: azelaic acid) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Acne Vulgaris: Azelex Cream is used to treat mild to moderate acne vulgaris, reducing the number and severity of acne lesions.
  2. Rosacea: It is indicated for the treatment of rosacea, helping to reduce redness and inflammation associated with the condition.

Azelex Cream belongs to a class of drugs known as dicarboxylic acids, which work by inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation.

To use Azelaic Acid cream, first clean the affected area and pat it dry. Then, apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area usually twice daily, in the morning and evening, or as directed by your doctor. Gently massage the cream into the skin so it is fully absorbed. After use, wash your hands.

Be careful to avoid getting the cream in or near your eyes, nose, or mouth. If the cream comes into contact with any of these areas, wash it off immediately with plenty of water. Do not cover the affected area with a bandage or other covering unless directed to do so by your doctor.

Use azelex cream regularly according to your doctor’s instructions to receive the maximum benefit. Do not use more cream than directed, as this won’t improve your condition any faster and may even increase your risk of side effects. It may take up to a month to see an improvement in your condition, and the full effects of the treatment may take even longer.

Can I use azelaic Cream to lighten dark spots on my skin?

While azelaic acid is not FDA-approved to treat dark spots, it can lighten the skin. This medication blocks tyrosinase, a protein in your body that makes melanin. Melanin is the brown or black pigment that’s responsible for things like skin or eye color.

Can I use Azelex Cream if I am pregnant?

Talk to your healthcare provider before using Azelex Cream if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

How long does it take for Azelaic Acid to work?

Azelaic Acid may take several weeks to show improvement in your acne, so be patient and continue using the cream as directed. People typically see an improvement in their acne after about 4 weeks of treatment. People being treated for rosacea might need to use this medication for up to 12 weeks before their skin starts to get better.

Can I wear makeup over azelaic acid?

Yes, you can apply cosmetics over azelaic acid foam or gel (Finacea) after it dries to give your skin the chance to absorb the medication. However, if you apply cosmetics before it dries, your skin might not absorb the full dose of the medication.
