Question

I'm dealing with moderate acne and hyperpigmentation, and my skin type is combination and acne-prone. I'm wondering if an azelaic acid suspension would be more effective for me as a gel or cream. I've tried tretinoin before, but it always causes breakouts. Right now, I'm using a 10% niacinamide serum from Minimalist, followed by aloe vera gel and tea tree oil as a moisturizer. Can you recommend something that might work better for me, other than tretinoin and isotretinoin?
