Can I just use Ezanic 20 gel on my acne marks? I'm really hoping to get this cleared up, and I'd love some advice on whether that's the right approach. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Yes, you can use Ezanic 20% gel (azelaic acid) directly on acne marks to help reduce their appearance, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation; apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected areas only, once or twice a day, and be patient as it may take a few weeks to see noticeable improvements.

  1. Safety and Use
    Ezanic 20 gel, containing 20% azelaic acid, is generally safe for a 26-year-old female to use on acne marks, unless there are known allergies or sensitivities.

  2. Application

    • Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin.
    • Use twice daily or as directed by a dermatologist.
  3. Effectiveness
    Azelaic acid reduces inflammation, kills acne-causing bacteria, and promotes skin renewal, improving acne marks over time.

  4. Side Effects

    • Possible mild irritation, redness, or dryness.
    • Discontinue use if severe irritation occurs and consult a healthcare provider.
  5. Precautions

    • Avoid use on broken or severely irritated skin.
    • Use sunscreen during the day to prevent increased sun sensitivity.

Consult a dermatologist if you have concerns or underlying skin conditions.
