In reply to becca. Becca, use Vitamin C in the morning and azelaic acid at night.

Hi, I am a 17 year old with mild to moderate acne and dry/combination skin. I have recently been using a 10% azelaic acid serum which has helped my acne but I am wanting to treat some hyperpigmentation from acne scarring. I was wondering if I was able to use a vitamin c serum alongside the azelaic acid or would it interfere and cause irritation. If I can use them both is it ok to use them in succession or when would the best time be to use these products in my routine? Thank you

Hi you guys are so helpful! I am 34 oily/combo skin, pores, and for the last 6months have been having small acne that leaves hyperpigmentation. The acne is on and off but never completely goes away. I have been trying different skincare routine but everyone has different advice. At first I was using too many products and now I narrowed it down. I would love to hear your suggestions.
Morning routine : innisfree toner with 0.6% salicylic
Lactic acid Sunday Riley good genes
Moisturizer
Sunscreen
Other mornings: Sunday Riley Vit CEO
Moisturizer
Sunscreen

Night time: youth to the people cleanser or lush herbalism gentle scrub
ordinary nicanamide zinc serum
Retinol
Other nights: innisfree toner 0.6 salicylic
Lactic acid
Moisturizer
Spot treatment Cosrx centilla cream

I use the ordinary salicylic mask twice a week. I use it on the day Iam not using the toner or the lactic acid
And use Indian healing clay mask once a week

Pls let me know if I should be adding something or taking out something!! Thank you !!!

In reply to Seppo.

Seppo, I’m sorry it took me so much to reply. I’ve been very busy with work lately and I’ve fallen a bit behind with comments.

Now that you mention it, I think the article I’ve read was about the rabbit ear test. And it came to the same conclusion, that it’s not reliable. It’s good that they’re now testing these ingredients on humans, so hopefully that way we’ll know for sure what’s comedogenic, and in what doses.

I completely agree with you there. That definitely is taking things too far. When something is too low on the ingredient list, it’s unlikely to cause problems. I think I didn’t express myself too well in the article either. I guess that in my effort to summarize, I didn’t mention to avoid those ingredients only when they were at the top of the list, so thank you for pointing that out.

And thank you! 🙂
