I am using azelaic acid 10% gel and initially it was fine but suddenly am noticing my skin is coming out like peeling but there is no irritation or burning sensation on the skin. So please suggest the cause for the same and what should I do?

Hi lybrate-user, you should discontinue azelic acid for sometime and start using a water based sunscreen during the day.

Hi. Dryness is one of the common side effect of azelaic acid .to counteract this you must use a moisturizer like aquasoft fc/ dewsoft etc 20 to 30 minutes before application of azelaic acid. Thanks.
