Review: Changed My Skin & Life! - I question why I didn’t get this product sooner in my life. Seriously. This product has made such a positive change in my skin - I feel like crying. While I have never been officially diagnosed, I’ve always felt that I have a type of rosacea. I don’t get pustules, zits or anything like that (unless I consume a lot of certain sugary drinks, and food) but for as long as I can remember, my face has always dealt with redness. Yes, certain things such as consuming sugar triggers it and makes it worse. I’ve been using skincare since my mid 20s. I am currently in my early 30s. I feel for the most part I was using products that were benefiting my skin, but as far as the redness went, nothing I used seemed to treat it. Around a year ago, I heard about how azelaic acid can be beneficial to people who have rosacea - treating redness and the pustules that go with it. So while I was aware of it, I just kept putting off purchasing it. Life stuff always coming up. After talking with ChatGPT about how sick I was about always walking around with a red/pink face, it recommended azelaic acid. Specifically Paula’s Choice. Now we all know that with a lot of skin care products it can take time to see differences. No lie… I began seeing results from this within just under two weeks or so. The redness in my face has decreased A LOT. I am now at a point in my life where I feel more comfortable going out without having to wear foundation or using something like Cicapair by Dr. Jart+ (which by the way is great at covering the redness). I am extremely pale, so dealing with a face that was red almost constantly - I felt that the difference between my face and body were so dramatically different, it made me self-conscious. But now? I am much more confident. The redness isn’t completely gone, but when I say it has been dramatically reduced, I mean it! My skin also has this type of glow that I’ve never experienced with other products - not even my tretinoin. I use this product every other day. I have several products I use for my skin and I cycle through them every other day. When I do apply this, like with every other skin care product, I always mist my skin lightly with water. Yes, doing this increases the potency of products but for my skin, I can tolerate it just fine. I also feel that by dampening your skin, the product spread, spreads a lot more evenly and easily. While this is priced at $39 and being only 1 ounce, I know it sounds expensive. But I will say that a little goes a LONG way. You don’t need to be using globs of this stuff. Also, I feel you can get away with using this every other day, like myself, so it can last longer. Everyone’s skin is different. Like I said, I’ve never been officially diagnosed, but based on what I’ve experienced and what I’ve read, I truly do feel I have some form of rosacea. I also have certain triggers that make it worse; such as consuming certain types of sugary drinks. So I feel that if you identify your specific triggers, use this product… you should see a definite difference. Wish I had gotten this product sooner! I absolutely love it.
Review: “One of the Best Products for Acne & Dark Marks!” - I absolutely love this product! Paula’s Choice Azelaic Acid is honestly one of the best skincare products I’ve tried. With consistent use, I’ve noticed a visible reduction in dark marks and my skin looks much more even. It has also helped reduce new breakouts, which was a big struggle for me. The key is to be consistent, but once you are, the results are definitely worth it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has been dealing with acne for a long time and feels like they’ve tried everything. This product really made a difference for me.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this help my rosacea and acne break outs**
A: I can tell you the answer to the acne question. While 10% Azelaic Acid will help reduce acne along with salycilic acid in this product, your Dr can call in a 20%cream of Azelaic Acid (called Azelex) it’s for Rosacea and mild to moderate acne, and it is a MIRACLE worker! It works systemically , so you must use it up to two or three weeks to see very clear skin. If you have insurance, it’s a copay, like mine. If not, don’t bother, because it is extremely expensive (3-6 hundred dollars) RX wise. I had severe acne (adult onset acne) and researched for something to help because all the other crap (medications, benzaclin, blah blah blah) was not working. This product (RX one) will sting a tiny tiny bit, but that eventually goes away. I’m an Esthetician and would not steer you wrong!! Azelaic Acid is good! Hope this helps you!!! Go see your doctor, and ask him about Azelex 20%cream!

**Q: I thought azelaic acid was only by prescription. Is this really in it?**
A: Azelaic Acid is available by prescription in concentrations of 15% or higher. Because this product contains 10% Azelaic Acid, is can be sold over the counter.

**Q: Is this product silicone based?**
A: Although it contains dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane,  these ingredients are not among those in highest concentration and it should not be considered silicone-based. It’s texture is late and it is quickly absorbed with no silicone seal.  It’s texture is late and it is quickly absorbed with no silicone feel.

**Q: Was this product discontinued? Will you restock it?**
A: I don't believe it was discontinued. I definitely recommend it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don't want to like this!
*by L***P on April 11, 2026*

It is with a heavy heart that I regrettably inform you that this is absolutely worth the price. Yes, it is expensive for the little tube you get, but it has lasted me a couple of months using it both day and night. This might be one of the only products I've ever used that doesn't give me sensory issues. I put it on and don't get a moment of stickiness or a wet feeling like I do with serum options. It doesn't irritate me. I even LIKE putting it on. I've used other azelaic acid serums, TXA, and I have a permanent retinoid in my routine. Adding this has been very effective at reducing a lot of the PIE (red hyperpigmentation) I've had leftover from acne since I was a teenager. It's not hydrating, it's not going to do everything— it does one thing, and it does that one thing very well.
