I bought azelaic acid 20% from indiamart, been on tretinoin 0.05 for two months and few weeks. I am in another purging phase on my forehead, should I start to incorporate azelaic acid in my routine?
 
i'd let the purging pass first

Be patient bro, it took me atleast 6months to see results, after purging, start with azelaic acid

No dont drop tretinoin, keep using it. But when you start to see signs of skin barrier damage, drop the %

I only got 0.05% not 0.025, I started with 0.05. I know a bad mistake, only type i had. How long until I start including azelaic acid?
 
Thats No problem fam, how many times a week do you use it? Im currently using tret for 2 years, started with 0.05 3x a wweek for 2 weeks i think, because I couldn't wait, then started to use it daily. My skin also started to irritate in the Begin and burn, just apply less, mix with lotion or facial creme if its a small amount.
And then build it up to a big pea size amount if your skin can handle it long term. If this is the case you can start experimenting and use azelaic acid
