Azelex is an FDA-approved topical prescription cream containing azelaic acid. It is indicated for treating acne vulgaris and the inflammatory lesions of rosacea. The medication aids in skin renewal to reduce blackheads and pimples and possesses antibacterial properties. It is applied twice daily to clean, dry skin.

Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after 12 weeks of consistent use.
