Hello Doc, can you use 20% azelaic acid gel and Pure vitamin C serum at the same time in the morning? and can you use retinol and azelaic acid at the same time too in the evening? Thank you Doc
im suffering with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation on my body i need to get rid from it that's why i need a good exfoliating acid. in my country there few options are available the first option is (12 percent lactic acid and 10 percent urea cream) second option is (12 percent glycolic acid cream) 3rd one is (6 percent salicylic acid cream) and there not mentioned the ph levels of this creams. i saw in some videos doctors said ph is most important for the exfoliation. what cream should i choose
@@Mohamed-ue8jh yes, but you must understand that it is quite difficult for me to give advice on which product to use without seeing your skin especially since the ingredients your asking can be irritating and can have negative consequences when used incorrectly. If you ask me, the safest would be the first option.
Hi Dra! Can I use azelaic acid 2x a day? Can I use it together with epiduo forte at night? And ano po mauuna? azelaic, epiduo forte or moisturizer? Thank you so much, Dra! I'm following you on Tiktok!
I just want my face to be as smooth as my shoulders. My body skin is better than my face. Why is that? I have oily/sensitive skin. Very sensitive it gets irritated easily once it got dirty. I get pimples easily or redness. I have tiny bumps too. I have nodular acne now and its still there its been two months. Can I use this to treat my face. I use cetaphil and coco derma cream as moisturizer because its organic. I get irritated too if I use products with lots of chemicals. Thanks.
Azelaic acid is perfect for you, but sometimes acne or pimple can be cause by poor diet and sleep. Evaluate yourself first what are you eating and recent activities that might have caused stress. I use mild facial cleanser, Hatomugi skin conditioner, and azelaic acid. So far so good, just dont forget to use sunscreen during the day
Can you clarify this? Azelaic acid is used at ridiculous percentages such as 0.6% in some products and 10% in many products. The products using Azelic at these percentages are really does it work? (Sorry for my bad english, hope it's an understandable question.)
Hello, doc! Thank you for another very informative video! Would like to know your thoughts lang on Azelaic Acid derivatives. Is this kind of formula still advisable?
Green tea in skincare is beneficial due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies even claim that it has some anti-microbial effect and can improve circulation up to a certain extent.
Hi Doc, thanks for the information. With that, my impression is azelaic acid is really good for the skin. So, I'll continue using mine in my skincare routine. i wanna say, you're a good speaker, it seems trained expert ka talaga na Derma. tska di lahat ng doc/derma , magaling magsalita/magturo.

Yeeyy new upload☺️ My derm prescribed me to use Azelaic acid 15%. Haven't tried it doc Kasi walang available dito sa amin. Hope it will work on me. Thank you doc ❤️
Its more important to know if it’s something that will address your skin concerns. Acne, pigmentation, redmarks? I often recommend 15-20% and i only of one brand- Skinoren. It’s a prescription medication though.
Hi doc ask ko lang because recently i had this breakout on my neck and jawline area what would you recommend about it? i use astringent recommended by my derm but due to discoloration of my skin i stop it and somehow i want to maintain my neck and jawline area as acne free. Thankyouuu po for answering my question.
Hello Doc!!Please notice me!!🙏🙏🙏I'm currently having the worst acne breakout, I'm 30 yrs.old with oily acne prone skin..I'm using azelaic acid 10% on alternate days and planning to add adapalene in my routine..Should I stoo po ba using my azelaic acid once I start with adapalene???🙃🙃
Hi doc gaile! Our very love derm! Im also the one that always commented on your tiktoks hehe. I do love the azelaic acid, tho its generic brand but works wonder! Its perfect for my morena skin that really fades my acne spots. Im also on my retinoid, they're perfect *chef's kiss*
Lightening creams are not the first line of treatment for acanthosis nigricans in my opinion. But azelaic acid as an ingredient can be used to lighten some forms of pigmentation
Hello Dr. gaile asking for some advice and help how to treat redness on my face i try lots of product like cetaphil redness prone cetaphil bright radiance wash cerave retinol resurfacing but redness still there its getting worse when the sun comes up thank you so much
@@irenegaile hi doc, according to dr. bowe (saw this on tiktok 😅) skin cycling po is four night skin care routine that includes two nights of treatments followed by two nights of recovery. Day 1 - Exfoliate, Day 2 - Retinol, Day 3 & 4 - Recovery. Really wanted to include azelaic acid on my routine but idk which night i could add it po. Thank you so much doc!
@@sljplsc oh i think skin cycling would be applicable to those with really sensitive skin. I prefer to apply my actives on a daily basis, except maybe if I were to use exfoliants with high concentration of acids. I find it more effective in addressing my concerns.
@@irenegaile super thankyou po sa reply Doc! 🙏🏻:) sorry.. another quetion po Doc, ang nireseta po kasi sakin skinoren 2xaday then benzac in the evening lang. then sabi nya i can use pa daw niacinamide serum 4% and moisturizer. kaso po d ko na natanong if when ko iaapply ung niacinamide and moisturizer Doc. ano po ung mauunang iapply :( pls help me Doc. thanks po.
bale ang ginawa ko po ganto po Doc . morning: teranex, everwhite toner, skinoren, niacinamide serum 4% then sunblock po. evening: teranex, everwhite toner, skinoren, benzac, everwhie moisturizer cream tama po yung steps na ginawa ko Doc? maraming salamat po! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Doc how many minutes should tingling/itching go away after applying azelaic acidand is it always gonna be like that every time I apply it or it should be gone after my skin get used to it I'am a first time user and I'am on my first week I just feel very uncomfortable of the itching/tingling sensation but it goes away maybe after 20ish minutes after applying it

Peptides are amino acids (building blocks) of skin proteins like collagen, so yes you can say that it aids in collagen production but theres more to it that that. You just gave me a topic idea. Thank you! I think i want to talk about peptides in the future 🙏🏻
Hello po Doc Ask ko lang po If i use azelaic acid 15% gel Can i also use cetaphil bright healthy radiance Pang moisturizer po Sabi po kase ni Derma huwag na kase meron daw silang parehong AHA pero nung nag search po ako wala namang nakalagay na AHA sa ingridients.
Hello doc. What time po nilalagay ang azelaic acid, gusto po sya itry skinorin po and pwede po ba ako gumamit ng glycolic acid soap after po ng azelaic?
Hello doc I am currently pregnant, my concern is melasma. For night time routine can i use after my wash Glycolic serum Tranxenamic serum Azelaic serum Moisturizer
may iba pa po ba kayong alam na topical antibacterial cream doc bukod po sa BPO? yung pwede sa underarms kasi natry na din po BPO wash. Yung Clindamycin po na gel pwede po ba yung ganon?
It's not just the microorganisms that cause body odor. Sweat + bacteria = body odor. If BPO doesnt work, there is a high probability that clindamycin will not as well. I suggest a consultation.
Hi feliz! It’s being sold as a supplement/add on to treatment of mild to moderate acne in combination with topicals. My patients find it helpful naman. I just dont recommend it as a monotherapy for moderate acne.
Another question po doc hehe, will it still be effective po if every other day lang siya iinumin? Or everyday po talaga siya dapat inumin? Thank you po!!!
Doctor yesterday i asked a question. you told me (12 percent lactic acid and 10 percent urea cream ) is a good option. and i visited a pharmacy and i found they also have 25 percent urea foot cream . I don't buy anything i became so confused what is more effective and safe ( 25 urea cream or 12% lactic and 10% urea cream)
Urea is a humectant, if your problem is PIH it wont do much. In higher concentrations it can act as a keratolytic to help areas with thick skin like the feet.
Hello po Doc! Quick question lang po, do i still need to use a different chemical exfoliant when im already using a 1% BHA cleanser every morning? Thank you Doc!
Iba kc ung cleanser since you wash it off and oftentimes they contain lower concentrations of BHA. If you get your desired results with just using the wash, then you might not need to add an additional product with BHA, if nakukulangan ka, then pwede ka mag add ng BHA toner or cream :)
Hi Doc!!! I have a combo-sensitive skin po. So I'm scared to layer up my Vitamin C serum (15%) with my Azelaic Acid (10%), it might cause irritation Doc. Can I use azelaic acid in the evening instead? Since I'm still not using any retinoid pa Doc? I only use niacinamide serum(10%) in the evening po. Should I still use it in the morning just alternate it with Vitamin C or just layer them up Doc? Or, in the evening? -Hoping for your response Doc! Thank you!
@@irenegaile huhu, thank you so much Doc! If it's too much to ask Doc, ahmm... I ordered a Cerave resurfacing retinol. Should I discontinue the use of azelaic acid Doc? -Huhu thanks for another response Doc!
Good Day to you Doc! I am currently simplifying my skincare routine with retinol cream as the only active I am using at nighttime. My only issue is that I get dry rough patches on my cheeks even if I am already at my 12th week of continuous usage. Will it be helpful if I incorporate azelaic acid to mitigate the dry patches? Thanks in advance!
Doc paano po pag di effective yung BPO wash and antiperspirant? kapag po ba nag-paconsult sa inyo madami pa po ba kayong mabibigay na ibang paraan yung mas effective na gamot? kasi po walang budget sa surgery
Washing your UA with BPO wash will reduce the bacteria in the area but remember sweat + bacteria = sweat. So best to pair it with an antiperspirant, which is best applied at bedtime
Hydroquinone is the gold standard ingredient for hyperpigmentation BUT should be used correctly because misuse can lead to ochronosis (bluish, grayish rebound pigmentatikn)
today i saw your kp video and also i read some comments. a person asked you in a comment can i use 20% urea (feet) cream to my kp and you told her yes. is it ok to use a (feet) cream to body
doc ano pong topical antibacterial cream po ang pwede sa underarm to remove body odor?natry na din po kasi ng pinsan ko yung BPO na wash siguro po topical antibacterial cream po ang mas effective?
It's not just the antibacterial or antimicrobial that will do the job kc the smell is due to a combination of certain microorganisms (not all) and sweat. I suggest a proper consultation. Sayang ang time, effort and money.
I’m pretty sure that I’ve built up tolerance for tretinoin, however, I’m still at 0.025 concentration. I’m planning to move up to 0.05. Do you think it’s okay to add Azelaic acid to my routine while I move up to 0.05 tret? Thanks in advance, doc.
@@irenegaile thank you for the prompt response! I appreciate it and thank you for another great and informative video :) Malaking tulong po for everyone 💕
Wow, I didn't know na may local dermatologist pala tayo in the Phils. na nagpopost din ng ganitong content. I mostly watch videos of skin enthusiast/RUclipsrs like Cassandra Bankson, Dr. Dray, Dr. Sam Bunting, Beauty Within, James Walsh, and Hyram about skin care. Maybe bcoz I don't know any other local dermatologists in the country? Si Belo naman kasi puro ibang content ang alam...hehe!🤭 Anyway, I'm still checking your other videos doc, I'm always interested about diff topics about skincare. Do you also check out local skincare brands, doc? 🤔
Skin type: Combination, acne prone and sensitive skin. For beginner po na may acne (papules and pustules), closed comedones, acne marks and hyperpigmentation, does the skin v20 5% azelaic acid will work or start na po agad sa 10% azelaic acid? Thank you po 💗
Love your vids! Question po. If I use 4% Panoxyl wash at night, and want to add Azelaic serum in my skincare, I wonder if thats possible po and how? Sana mapansin hehe thanks po!
Doc, okay lang pagsabayin yung azeleic acid cream 20% and salicylic acid 2% toner in the morning then tret at night, or should I use the in alternating nights instead? Like for example, Tret (M,W,F) then AzeSA (T, TH, SAT). Medj kinakabahan ako sa suggestion ng derma ko na I should used them everyday, with tret at night. Tho I already asked her but I want your opinion about this, thank Doc!
Hi there, doc! I came across this video while looking for new products to put on my face. I stopped using products when I got pregnant in 2020 and until now because I’m breastfeeding. I’m acne-prone and it got worst now. I have active acne all the time and acne pit marks. What other “mild” products can I use to improve my skin texture? Thanks! I love your videos and the way you explain things!
I would recommend a consultation -- there are a lot of products that you can use -- like exfoliants, retinoids etc -- but it's hard to make specific recommendations without really assessing your skin :)
Hi, Dr. Gaile. I have been using these prodects for more than two months: Cetaphil Pink, Skonoren, adn Sunblock in the morning and Klenzit MS, Avene Cicalfate and Oxecure in the evening. These products prescribed by dermatologist really saved me from acne. My concern is, how long should I apply them, and do I need to apply some whitening products on my face? And last is it ok to undergo diamond peel? Thank you so much po.
Hi editha! Since they were prescribed by your dermatologist, it would be best to ask him/her kc nakita nya and na assess yung skin mo and he/she prescribed them to address a particular skin issue and would know what to recommend :)
Hello doc. I’m planning to use bha toner. :) but I also want to incorporate Vit c serum in my routine. Would it be okay to apply Vit c serum after bha serum? Thank you in advance, doc!
Hello po sa mga users ng azelaic acid can you please recommend a brand of it or kung saan po nakakabili, medjo pricey po kasi sa drugstore thank you in advance 😊
hi doc ask ko lang, pang 12 weeks ko na pong gumagamit ng azelaic acid 10% pero now lang po ata nagstart yung purging , normal pa po ba ito or should i stop using the product?
Hi doc, I am 18. I do have darker lines sa gilid ng lips ko pababa sa jaw, so parang nag kakaroon po ng illusion na parang may wrinkles. Since bata pa po ata may ganito na ko, makakatulong po ba ang azelaic/alpha arbutin? Thanks doc!
Hi, Doc! I've been using epiduo forte for almost a year na po along with salicylic acid (already switched to glycolic acid) niacinamide cream and vit. c serum as prescribed by my derma. There was an improvement naman po. Siguro po talagang mahirap lang din po itreat ang hyperpigmentation. How long will it take po kaya for it to clear up? And I also still get pimples like every month. Is it normal? And factor po ba ang missed/late monthly periods? Hope my questions will be answered. Thank you, Doc! 😊
Products usually take at least 12 weeks to work. per in your case since marami kang ginagamit it must mean you have several skin issues, and since naka epiduo forte ka it means may derma ka na, best to ask him/her about it.
Hello po! Does Azelaic Acid cause purging? I just started using 20% po but there are no side effects like redness, peeling, etc… but there are new pimples forming po (only on the areas i usually breakout).
Hello Doc. I’m using the ordinary azelaic acid for about 6 months now and so far the results are good, It really lightens my PIH. I used it alternately with retinol serum at night. Is it okay na po ba Doc to upgrade to a higher concentration like 20% azelaic acid or i’ll just continue it for another 6 months before upgrading to a higher concentration? Thank you Doc. I like all your videos so informative po Doc😊🤍
What’s your current % now? IMO, if youre seeing good results already, i dont think there is a need to increase conc pero kung mejo bitin ka, pwede mo naman taasan :)
@@irenegaile i’m using the 10% conc po doc. Although effective po sya to lighten my PIH pero napansin ko po na medyo mabagal po sya mawala about 1-2 months depending on the severity of the pimple. I want to try the 20% conc po baka po mas maganda yung effect nya for lighteninng. Thank you po Doc :)
@@marcogregorio9671 mabagal talaga ang AZA compared to other actives :) and usually I tell my patients na it really takes 12 weeks to see significant improvement from most active ingredients :)
@@irenegaile hi doc how about kojic and lactic acid, arbutin vitamin c,e with malic acid and tranexamic acid is it good po ba for treating hyperpigmentation

Hello Dr. gaile asking for some advice and help how to treat redness on my face i try lots of product like cetaphil redness prone cetaphil bright radiance wash cerave retinol resurfacing but redness still there its getting worse when the sun comes up thank you so much
Best to find out why you have redness via a proper consultation so that you can be assessed and given recommendations :)
@@irenegaile thank you so much Dr gaile do have a online consultation? Or address of your clinic? ♥️
Hello doc! Which night would it be added to if i'm doing skin cycling? Thank you.
What do you mean skin cycling?
@@irenegaile hi doc, according to dr. bowe (saw this on tiktok 😅) skin cycling po is four night skin care routine that includes two nights of treatments followed by two nights of recovery. Day 1 - Exfoliate, Day 2 - Retinol, Day 3 & 4 - Recovery.
Really wanted to include azelaic acid on my routine but idk which night i could add it po. Thank you so much doc!
@@sljplsc oh i think skin cycling would be applicable to those with really sensitive skin. I prefer to apply my actives on a daily basis, except maybe if I were to use exfoliants with high concentration of acids. I find it more effective in addressing my concerns.
@@irenegaile Thank you so much doc! Really appreciate po your reply ❤️
@@sljplsc youre welcome :)

Dow what body product has high niacinamide?

I recommend a proper consultation, melasma is a complex skin issue :)
@@irenegaile ok po doc

Hi Doc, Can I use sunscreen poba after applying adapalene+clindamycin at night?
No need to apply sunscreen at night :) if ur worried about visible light - kahit tinted moisturizer ok na :)
does peptide help in collagen production or just does hydration in skin
Peptides are amino acids (building blocks) of skin proteins like collagen, so yes you can say that it aids in collagen production but theres more to it that that. You just gave me a topic idea. Thank you! I think i want to talk about peptides in the future 🙏🏻
It's my pleasure
Hello po Doc Ask ko lang po
If i use azelaic acid 15% gel
Can i also use cetaphil bright healthy radiance
Pang moisturizer po
Sabi po kase ni Derma huwag na kase meron daw silang parehong AHA pero nung nag search po ako wala namang nakalagay na AHA sa ingridients.
walang AHA ung cetaphil BHR
Hello doc. What time po nilalagay ang azelaic acid, gusto po sya itry skinorin po and pwede po ba ako gumamit ng glycolic acid soap after po ng azelaic?
Best to consult to see if this particular ingredient will be best for your skin needs and issues
Hello doc I am currently pregnant, my concern is melasma. For night time routine can i use after my wash
Glycolic serum
Tranxenamic serum
Azelaic serum
Moisturizer
My derma prescribed 20% azelaic acid. Sana mag work sa akin, I have PIE doc.
best for PIE is vascular laser treatment, but AZA helps too :)
pwede ba pagsabayin ang azelaic acid at retinol?
Kung kaya ng skin mo pwede naman, pero usually i dont recommend na sabay in one routine, pwedeng AM ung azelaic then PM ung retinol
Hi doc. Is it okay to use azelaic acid serum together with salicylic acid?
Yes, if your skin can tolerate :)
may iba pa po ba kayong alam na topical antibacterial cream doc bukod po sa BPO? yung pwede sa underarms kasi natry na din po BPO wash. Yung Clindamycin po na gel pwede po ba yung ganon?
It's not just the microorganisms that cause body odor.
Sweat + bacteria = body odor.
If BPO doesnt work, there is a high probability that clindamycin will not as well. I suggest a consultation.
Is azelaic can use by pregnant women?
Short answer yes if used the right way, in the right concentration and for the correct indication. Please consult.
doc can i use skinoren?
Depends on your skin concerns but yes, that’s the brand I recommend the most:)
@@irenegaile at the moment, its not available po. is it okay to switch to melano cc gel moisturizer?
@@yannayvette im not familiar with that 🙈
Good day doc!! This is off topic but still abt skin care. What can u say po abt lactezin? Thank u in advance!! 🫶🫶
Hi feliz! It’s being sold as a supplement/add on to treatment of mild to moderate acne in combination with topicals. My patients find it helpful naman. I just dont recommend it as a monotherapy for moderate acne.
Tysm doc!! 🫶
Another question po doc hehe, will it still be effective po if every other day lang siya iinumin? Or everyday po talaga siya dapat inumin? Thank you po!!!
hi doc, its my first time user if azaleic acis suspension. does it smell mentholated? and it feels like cold ...
Can azelic asid thin the skin ??
no, i dont think so
Doctor yesterday i asked a question. you told me (12 percent lactic acid and 10 percent urea cream ) is a good option. and i visited a pharmacy and i found they also have 25 percent urea foot cream . I don't buy anything i became so confused what is more effective and safe ( 25 urea cream or 12% lactic and 10% urea cream)
Urea is a humectant, if your problem is PIH it wont do much. In higher concentrations it can act as a keratolytic to help areas with thick skin like the feet.
❤❤❤
Im using azelane soap po Doc its my 5th month napo and my acne is back, since i also stop using adapalene because my skin is so dull :( what to do doc
Not enough to just use soap for acne, you need meds :) i suggest a consultation :)
Hello doc! Question lang po, can i use azelaic acid and adapalene at the same time?
Yes if you can tolerate it :)
Hello po Doc! Quick question lang po, do i still need to use a different chemical exfoliant when im already using a 1% BHA cleanser every morning? Thank you Doc!
Iba kc ung cleanser since you wash it off and oftentimes they contain lower concentrations of BHA. If you get your desired results with just using the wash, then you might not need to add an additional product with BHA, if nakukulangan ka, then pwede ka mag add ng BHA toner or cream :)
@@irenegaile Thank you Doc!
san po ito mabibili doc?
May mga over-the-counter na 10% or less. Ung 15-20% are prescription ones.
Hi Doc!!! I have a combo-sensitive skin po. So I'm scared to layer up my Vitamin C serum (15%) with my Azelaic Acid (10%), it might cause irritation Doc. Can I use azelaic acid in the evening instead? Since I'm still not using any retinoid pa Doc? I only use niacinamide serum(10%) in the evening po. Should I still use it in the morning just alternate it with Vitamin C or just layer them up Doc? Or, in the evening?
-Hoping for your response Doc! Thank you!
yes to vit c in am and azelaic in PM
you can use niacinamide in AM and PM if you want :)
@@irenegaile huhu, thank you so much Doc! If it's too much to ask Doc, ahmm... I ordered a Cerave resurfacing retinol. Should I discontinue the use of azelaic acid Doc?
-Huhu thanks for another response Doc!
Good Day to you Doc! I am currently simplifying my skincare routine with retinol cream as the only active I am using at nighttime. My only issue is that I get dry rough patches on my cheeks even if I am already at my 12th week of continuous usage. Will it be helpful if I incorporate azelaic acid to mitigate the dry patches? Thanks in advance!
Moisturizer will be a good addition and not another potentially irritating ingredient :)
Doc paano po pag di effective yung BPO wash and antiperspirant? kapag po ba nag-paconsult sa inyo madami pa po ba kayong mabibigay na ibang paraan yung mas effective na gamot? kasi po walang budget sa surgery
Yes may iba pa namang options but procedural din and kailangan pag ipunan.
is 10% of azelaic acid safe for beginners doc?
10% would be my maximum, i often recommend 4-5%
@@irenegaile noted! thank you po
Hello Doc, Can i use 2-5% Niacinamide serums? I'm 16 years old
Pwede naman as long as you see it benefiting your skin :)
doc pwede po ba gawing deodorant sa morning yung benzoyl peroxide para mawala smell sa underarms? or papatuyuin po muna bago mag deodorant
Washing your UA with BPO wash will reduce the bacteria in the area but remember sweat + bacteria = sweat. So best to pair it with an antiperspirant, which is best applied at bedtime
Yes, pwede mo yan gawin sa umaga Pero antiperspirant is better than a deodorant
Hello Doc, which is better hydroquinon or azelaic acid for hyperpigmentation?
Hydroquinone is the gold standard ingredient for hyperpigmentation BUT should be used correctly because misuse can lead to ochronosis (bluish, grayish rebound pigmentatikn)
today i saw your kp video and also i read some comments. a person asked you in a comment can i use 20% urea (feet) cream to my kp and you told her yes. is it ok to use a (feet) cream to body
Yes :)
Thanks 😍😍
doc ano pong topical antibacterial cream po ang pwede sa underarm to remove body odor?natry na din po kasi ng pinsan ko yung BPO na wash siguro po topical antibacterial cream po ang mas effective?
It's not just the antibacterial or antimicrobial that will do the job kc the smell is due to a combination of certain microorganisms (not all) and sweat. I suggest a proper consultation. Sayang ang time, effort and money.
I’m pretty sure that I’ve built up tolerance for tretinoin, however, I’m still at 0.025 concentration. I’m planning to move up to 0.05. Do you think it’s okay to add Azelaic acid to my routine while I move up to 0.05 tret? Thanks in advance, doc.
Yes but maybe wait until youve adjusted to the higher concentration and start with less frequent application of azelaic acid :)
@@irenegaile thank you for the prompt response! I appreciate it and thank you for another great and informative video :) Malaking tulong po for everyone 💕
@@bryllebaniga6369 youre welcome and thanks too! ☺️

Wow, I didn't know na may local dermatologist pala tayo in the Phils. na nagpopost din ng ganitong content. I mostly watch videos of skin enthusiast/RUclipsrs like Cassandra Bankson, Dr. Dray, Dr. Sam Bunting, Beauty Within, James Walsh, and Hyram about skin care. Maybe bcoz I don't know any other local dermatologists in the country? Si Belo naman kasi puro ibang content ang alam...hehe!🤭 Anyway, I'm still checking your other videos doc, I'm always interested about diff topics about skincare. Do you also check out local skincare brands, doc? 🤔
Yay! Thank you for the support, i really appreciate it. Topic suggestions are very much welcome too 🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️
And yes, most of my posts if ever ate about locally available products :)
Skin type: Combination, acne prone and sensitive skin. For beginner po na may acne (papules and pustules), closed comedones, acne marks and hyperpigmentation, does the skin v20 5% azelaic acid will work or start na po agad sa 10% azelaic acid? Thank you po 💗
Love your vids! Question po. If I use 4% Panoxyl wash at night, and want to add Azelaic serum in my skincare, I wonder if thats possible po and how? Sana mapansin hehe thanks po!
Sure pwede naman but whats more important is the indication, why do you want to use panoxyl and azelaic acid?
Doc, okay lang pagsabayin yung azeleic acid cream 20% and salicylic acid 2% toner in the morning then tret at night, or should I use the in alternating nights instead?
Like for example, Tret (M,W,F) then AzeSA (T, TH, SAT).
Medj kinakabahan ako sa suggestion ng derma ko na I should used them everyday, with tret at night. Tho I already asked her but I want your opinion about this, thank Doc!
If your skin can tolerate them together, ok lng. But cguro start muna every other day ng AZA then if no irritation etc, pwede na daily :)
Can you help me, where did you buy legit and effective azelaic and salysylic acid? Is it for hyperpigmentation? Thank you
Hi there, doc! I came across this video while looking for new products to put on my face. I stopped using products when I got pregnant in 2020 and until now because I’m breastfeeding. I’m acne-prone and it got worst now. I have active acne all the time and acne pit marks. What other “mild” products can I use to improve my skin texture? Thanks! I love your videos and the way you explain things!
I would recommend a consultation -- there are a lot of products that you can use -- like exfoliants, retinoids etc -- but it's hard to make specific recommendations without really assessing your skin :)
Hi, Dr. Gaile. I have been using these prodects for more than two months: Cetaphil Pink, Skonoren, adn Sunblock in the morning and Klenzit MS, Avene Cicalfate and Oxecure in the evening. These products prescribed by dermatologist really saved me from acne. My concern is, how long should I apply them, and do I need to apply some whitening products on my face? And last is it ok to undergo diamond peel? Thank you so much po.
Hi editha! Since they were prescribed by your dermatologist, it would be best to ask him/her kc nakita nya and na assess yung skin mo and he/she prescribed them to address a particular skin issue and would know what to recommend :)
@@irenegaile Thank you po doc.
Hello doc. I’m planning to use bha toner. :) but I also want to incorporate Vit c serum in my routine. Would it be okay to apply Vit c serum after bha serum? Thank you in advance, doc!

Hello po sa mga users ng azelaic acid can you please recommend a brand of it or kung saan po nakakabili, medjo pricey po kasi sa drugstore thank you in advance 😊
The only one ive prescribed is skinoren but my patients shared positive feedback with using the ordinary azelaic acid
@@irenegaile thank you so much po doc but are the generic ones like Yung mcb brand po is it okay din po ba?
hi doc ask ko lang, pang 12 weeks ko na pong gumagamit ng azelaic acid 10% pero now lang po ata nagstart yung purging , normal pa po ba ito or should i stop using the product?
purging usually happens sa start, pwedeng acne na yan and you might need other treatment options :)
Hi doc, I am 18. I do have darker lines sa gilid ng lips ko pababa sa jaw, so parang nag kakaroon po ng illusion na parang may wrinkles. Since bata pa po ata may ganito na ko, makakatulong po ba ang azelaic/alpha arbutin? Thanks doc!
You can try but i suggest a consultation para maassess muna at malaman kung ano talaga yan
Hi, Doc! I've been using epiduo forte for almost a year na po along with salicylic acid (already switched to glycolic acid) niacinamide cream and vit. c serum as prescribed by my derma. There was an improvement naman po. Siguro po talagang mahirap lang din po itreat ang hyperpigmentation. How long will it take po kaya for it to clear up? And I also still get pimples like every month. Is it normal? And factor po ba ang missed/late monthly periods? Hope my questions will be answered. Thank you, Doc! 😊
Products usually take at least 12 weeks to work. per in your case since marami kang ginagamit it must mean you have several skin issues, and since naka epiduo forte ka it means may derma ka na, best to ask him/her about it.
Hello po! Does Azelaic Acid cause purging? I just started using 20% po but there are no side effects like redness, peeling, etc… but there are new pimples forming po (only on the areas i usually breakout).
Hello Doc. I’m using the ordinary azelaic acid for about 6 months now and so far the results are good, It really lightens my PIH. I used it alternately with retinol serum at night. Is it okay na po ba Doc to upgrade to a higher concentration like 20% azelaic acid or i’ll just continue it for another 6 months before upgrading to a higher concentration? Thank you Doc. I like all your videos so informative po Doc😊🤍
What’s your current % now? IMO, if youre seeing good results already, i dont think there is a need to increase conc pero kung mejo bitin ka, pwede mo naman taasan :)
Also, thanks for the trust and support 🙏🏻🥰
@@irenegaile i’m using the 10% conc po doc. Although effective po sya to lighten my PIH pero napansin ko po na medyo mabagal po sya mawala about 1-2 months depending on the severity of the pimple. I want to try the 20% conc po baka po mas maganda yung effect nya for lighteninng. Thank you po Doc :)
@@marcogregorio9671 mabagal talaga ang AZA compared to other actives :) and usually I tell my patients na it really takes 12 weeks to see significant improvement from most active ingredients :)
@@irenegaile hi doc how about kojic and lactic acid, arbutin vitamin c,e with malic acid and tranexamic acid is it good po ba for treating hyperpigmentation
