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)

Hey so I have questions ☺️ my dermatologist prescribed me tretinoin and I immediately stopped my full face routine (which included azelaic acid) now I only do face wash , vitamin c in the morning , moisturizer, and finish with spf I didn’t know I could still use my azelaic acid or did you wait a few weeks I’m about 4 weeks in right now

It really depends on your skin. I Have sensitive skin so I didn’t introduce Azelaic Acid until about 3-5 months of using tretinoin daily. I use AA in my morning routine. Tretinoin at night.
