Hello doc, I've been using azelaic acid and it works for my pigmentation though I still have pimples during red days and lots of scars recently because of breakouts. I want to ask lang po kase I am currently into fraxel laser treatment. Can I still use the azelaic acid and Bephanten moisturizer together with my Uvest sunscreen? I think I have dry combination- sensitive skin. My skin looks so dry with lines upon closer look. Though when I use Clinique dramatically different moisturizer which is for dry combination, my skin looks and gets okay, then not. On and off. I have clear skin all my teenage and college days but when I am now in my late 20's, that's when breakouts hit hard. I also don't know if it is because of the surgical face mask? Any recommendations po Kaya? Thank you in advance po.

Hello Doc, which is better hydroquinon or azelaic acid for hyperpigmentation?

@irenegaile 2 жыл бұрын

Hydroquinone is the gold standard ingredient for hyperpigmentation BUT should be used correctly because misuse can lead to ochronosis (bluish, grayish rebound pigmentatikn)

Hello Doc. I’m using the ordinary azelaic acid for about 6 months now and so far the results are good, It really lightens my PIH. I used it alternately with retinol serum at night. Is it okay na po ba Doc to upgrade to a higher concentration like 20% azelaic acid or i’ll just continue it for another 6 months before upgrading to a higher concentration? Thank you Doc. I like all your videos so informative po Doc😊🤍
