is it okay if applying azelaic acid every 4 hours

[wollet2]

im applying azelic acid every 4 hours, why not my skin seems to handle it will i get faster results

 

[wollet2]

im afraid the azelic acid will gather in the surface of the skin in layers and wont penetrate

no idea but i also starting using it, im using it once / day at morning and alternating salicylic acid with ascorbic acid at night. my skin got irritated first days but I think it's caused by the salicylic acid which is a potent exfoliator . The azelaic acid made my acne much worse though, I hope it's only the purging period

oh, acne scars in the form of red spots or just hyperpigmentation?

i have some acne scars that seem to be post inflammatory erythema, they seem to be small damaged blood vessels. those small spots bleeded again when i microneedled but my other cheek where i have no PIE didnt bleed.

i wait for 0.1% tret to arrive which will prolly finish it off

mostly first but hyperpigmentation too

i have some acne scars that seem to be post inflammatory erythema, they seem to be small damaged blood vessels.

I have no idea what are mine, I should research this more. Mostly red spots that won't go away. i also have a thing that I thought it was acne on my nose and never got away, even if I didn't squeeze it.

Do you think that microneedling is better than chemical exfoliation?
I have used tret and while it was very slow I did see some results but since I've stopped using it Ive got acne again. Not sure if scars is even the right word as there are no "holes" in my skin just spots that don't go away.

I Apply tret every hour for maximum skin cell turnover. I can see it happening if i use a magnifying glass now
