Azelex Cream is used to help treat inflammatory acne, including pimples and other acne lesions.

Azelex Cream 20% is not specifically approved for rosacea.
Other azelaic acid products may be prescribed for rosacea, but Azelex is approved for inflammatory acne.
Azelex contains azelaic acid, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid.
Its exact mechanism is not fully understood, but azelaic acid has antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria linked to acne and can also help reduce inflammation.
Azelex Cream helps control acne, but it does not cure it permanently.
Use it regularly and for the full treatment period recommended by your healthcare provider.
Azelex Cream is applied to the skin, usually twice daily, in the morning and evening.
Use it exactly as directed by your healthcare provider.
Do not get Azelex Cream in your eyes, nose, or mouth.
If this happens, rinse the area well with water.
Contact your healthcare provider if irritation continues.
Do not cover the treated skin with a bandage or dressing unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
Use Azelex Cream every day as prescribed.
Do not apply extra cream or use it more often than directed. Using more will not make your acne improve faster and may increase skin irritation.
You may begin to notice improvement after about 4 weeks of regular treatment.
It may take longer to see the full benefit.
Continue using Azelex Cream as prescribed unless your healthcare provider tells you to stop.
If you forget to apply Azelex Cream, use it when you remember.
If it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule.

Azelex Cream may cause temporary:
These effects are usually mild and may improve as your skin gets used to the medication.
If irritation becomes severe or does not improve, contact your healthcare provider.
Rarely, azelaic acid may cause areas of lighter skin, called hypopigmentation.
Watch for unusual changes in skin color and tell your healthcare provider if you notice them.
This may be especially important in people with darker skin tones.
Tell your healthcare provider about other creams, gels, acne treatments, or medicated skincare products you use.
Using several irritating products at the same time may make redness, dryness, or burning worse.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
There are limited studies in pregnant women, so your healthcare provider will consider whether Azelex is appropriate for you.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding.
Only a small amount of topically applied azelaic acid is absorbed into the bloodstream, but caution is still recommended during breastfeeding.
Azelex may take several weeks to improve acne.
Many people begin to notice improvement within about 4 weeks.
Continue using it as prescribed unless your healthcare provider tells you to stop.
Using extra cream or applying it more often will not make your acne clear faster.
Too much may increase burning, stinging, dryness, or irritation.
Contact your healthcare provider if your acne becomes worse, does not improve as expected, or you develop severe irritation, swelling, an allergic reaction, or unusual changes in skin color.
Azelaic acid may help fade some types of dark spots, including marks left after acne. It works in part by reducing the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production. However, Azelex Cream is not specifically approved to treat dark spots or hyperpigmentation. Talk to your healthcare provider if dark spots are your main concern.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Only a small amount of azelaic acid is absorbed through the skin, but your healthcare provider can help decide whether Azelex Cream is appropriate for you.
You may begin to notice improvement in your acne after about 4 weeks of regular use. Some people may need longer treatment to see the full benefit. Keep using Azelex Cream as prescribed unless your healthcare provider tells you to stop.
Yes. You can usually apply makeup after Azelex Cream has been fully absorbed into your skin. Apply Azelex first, allow it to dry, and then apply your cosmetics. Using makeup before the cream has absorbed may interfere with how evenly the medication is applied.
