I did use the ordinary’s azelaic acid but felt like it wasn’t doing anything for me, but maybe I didn’t give it long enough to work! I’ll deffo retry it and look into Facetheory thank you!Azelaic acid is brilliant for reducing redness, and specifically targets rosacea. Facetheory, who I believe are vegan and cruelty free, do a combination niacinamide and azelaic acid serum, and whilst they are mid-range, they often have discount codes available
When I first got it I was using it morning and night after cleansing, but it always seems to sell out and I was going through it too quickly so now I only use it once a day (usually at night) and always buy 2 bottles if the big one isn’t availableHow often do you use it? I was so excited to get niacinamide after hearing such rave reviews (I have rosacea and combination skin) and it made me break out in lots of very very small spots, I read this can happen if the concentrate is too high and that it's not a product that can cause purging, I now only use it very occasionally if I want to avoid oiliness for a day but don't really know how to build it up to benefit from more long term effects.
