Azelaic acid has gained popularity for its effectiveness in improving skin tone and addressing blemishes. If you have normal skin like me, you might find it to be a great addition to your routine. The key to maximizing its benefits lies in knowing when to use it, and that can vary based on your overall regimen.
For morning use, I suggest applying azelaic acid right after cleansing and before your moisturizer and sunscreen. This allows the ingredient to work throughout the day while helping protect your skin from environmental stressors. If you prefer nighttime application, it fits nicely after your serums but before any heavier creams, ensuring it penetrates deeply as you sleep.
Ultimately, the best timing depends on your skin’s needs and your personal preference. Have you started using azelaic acid? If so, I’d love to know how you’ve integrated it into your routine. If you haven’t tried it yet, what’s holding you back?
