Frequently asked questions
What does Azclear Action Medicated Lotion do?
Azclear Action Lotion contains azelaic acid - an active that reduces acne-causing bacteria, unclogs blocked pores, and reduces redness and pigmentation. The 25g tube provides 4-6 weeks of daily use on the face. Unlike harsh benzoyl peroxide alternatives, azelaic acid is gentle enough for sensitive and combination skin.
How should I apply Azclear Action Lotion?
Wash and pat the face dry. Apply a small amount of Azclear Action Lotion to the affected areas (forehead, chin, cheeks, jawline) once or twice daily. Allow to absorb fully before applying sunscreen or makeup. Initial use may cause mild tingling that subsides within a week. Use consistently for 4-8 weeks to see full effect.
Is Azclear Action different from the foaming wash?
Yes. The Azclear Action Lotion is a leave-on treatment containing azelaic acid that stays on the skin to fight acne. The Azclear Action Foaming Wash is a rinse-off cleanser that prepares the skin for treatment. Many users combine both - foaming wash twice daily, lotion as the leave-on treatment after washing.
Can I use Azclear Action Lotion with other acne treatments?
Azclear is gentle but check with your pharmacist or dermatologist if you are also using benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, salicylic acid or prescription acne medications. Combining strong actives can cause excessive dryness and irritation. Daytime sunscreen is essential when using any acne treatment as actives increase sun sensitivity.
