I went to a dermatologist yesterday and she gave me 2 prescriptions Azelex and Differin for helping with acne on my chin. I didn’t really get a chance to ask her what Azelex is like and how it works. Has anyone used it? I used Differin before.

Azelex is a completely new class of acne therapy. Azelex is chemically different from all currently available acne medications, including retinoids and alpha-hydroxy acids. Azelex is believed to work uniquely with dual modes of action -antimicrobial activity and normalization of keratinization. It is the process by which epithelial cells mature as they move toward the skin surface and then slough off, which attacks two of the major causes of acne. From what I know, the majority of patients start to see improvement in their acne within 4 weeks.
