Key facts: azelaic acid 20%

How it is generally used

1. Read the label and follow the directions given by your prescriber or pharmacist.
2. Wash your hands, clean the affected area and let the skin dry.
3. Apply a thin layer of the cream as directed. More product will not clear the condition faster and may increase irritation.
4. Start cautiously if your skin is sensitive, and use a gentle moisturiser if advised.
5. Keep the cream away from the eyes. Rinse thoroughly with water after accidental contact.
6. Stop and seek advice if burning, itching, redness or irritation is severe, troublesome or does not settle.

Use azelaic acid for acne according to professional advice. Do not combine it with other irritating acne or exfoliating products unless a clinician has advised you to do so.

Who should speak to a clinician first

Speak to a pharmacist or doctor before using Aziderm if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Ask for advice if symptoms worsen, continue beyond the period advised, or if burning, itching or redness is troublesome. Check the cream format and the 07/2027 new stock date against the packaging when it arrives.

Frequently asked questions

Is Aziderm azelaic acid 20% cream a gel or a cream?

Aziderm 20% Cream is a 15G cream rather than a gel. If you see the spelling Azelderm, verify the active ingredient, strength, size and format on the packaging before purchase or use. Before using it, confirm on the packaging that the product is a 15G cream containing azelaic acid at 20%.

What is Aziderm 20% cream used for?

Aziderm 20% cream is used for acne and associated lumps, redness and swelling. It is for external use only. A pharmacist or doctor should confirm whether it is appropriate for your particular concern, especially when symptoms persist, worsen or do not match the reason for treatment.

How should azelaic acid cream 20% be applied?

Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer as directed by the label, pharmacist or doctor. Wash your hands before and after application, keep the cream away from the eyes and do not use more than advised. A gentle moisturiser may help if dryness develops.

Can Aziderm cause irritation?

Burning, irritation, itching and redness are possible application-site reactions. Tell a pharmacist or doctor if these symptoms are severe, bothersome or do not go away. Rinse thoroughly with water after accidental eye contact and seek advice if eye discomfort continues.

Can Aziderm be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Ask a pharmacist or doctor before using Aziderm if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not make this decision from an online page alone. A clinician can consider the 20% cream, your skin concern and any other products before advising you.

What does the 07/2027 date mean?

The 07/2027 date is a new stock date, not an expiry date. Check the packaging for its printed expiry when the cream arrives and ask a pharmacist if the label is unclear. A new stock date does not replace the expiry printed on the packaging.
