Thank you so much, so thorough and informative. Any thoughts on Paula’s Choice 10% azaleic acid booster?

also good azelaic acid with the primarily focus on acne

I was also wondering about this product! Paula's choice also has an Ectoin serum.

PC Ectoine serum is excellent for dry skin

Thank you for sharing this - so informative! I use ectoin serum under my tretinoin. Does applying ectoin after tretinoin reduce its efficacy as it gets difficult to penetrate?

Thank you for all the information 🤍 Is it possible that PIE takes even longer to fade during pregnancy? Also, how can I prevent acne from recurring in the exact same spot? The acne is no longer active, but after a while it fills up with pus again, and I end up stuck in a never-ending cycle. 😅

Hi Marina, thank you for your incredibly helpful advice regarding my skin condition, but I'm still concerned about using azelaic acid and retinoid together in my routine. Will it overload my system or negate the effects of either ingredient? Also, can I replace azelaic acid with a PAD (for example, Geek & Gorgeous's aPAD)? Could you give me some advice? Thank you so much.
