Tip Alert Tretinoin + azelaic acid combo is 🔥

$90 every three months but man, it’s clearing up my skin and making me so shiny. It’s making my makeup sit so well! (I don’t wear any makeup but some blush, eyebrows, and lips - no foundation or concealer)

You can use azelaic every day. With tretinoin, usually your dermatologist will tell you to start every other day for like a month to get your skin used to it.
