Here’s a simple guide on how to use your  Octyl-AZ (azelaic acid 15%) cream:

1. Cleanse: Ensure your skin is clean and dry before applying the cream.
2. Apply Thinly: Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas of your skin, such as your face, neck, or chest.   
3. Massage Gently: Gently massage the cream into your skin until it’s fully absorbed.   
4. Frequency: Typically, you’ll apply the cream once or twice a day, or as directed by your dermatologist.   

Key Benefits of Azelaic Acid 15% Cream:

• Treats Acne: Azelaic acid helps to kill bacteria that cause acne and reduces inflammation, making it effective for both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne.   
• Reduces Hyperpigmentation: It can help to lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation caused by acne or sun damage.   
• Improves Rosacea: Azelaic acid can reduce redness, inflammation, and bumps associated with rosacea.   
• Gentle on Skin: It is generally well-tolerated and suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.   

Important Considerations:

• Patch Test: Before applying the cream to a larger area, it’s recommended to do a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions.
• Sun Protection: While using azelaic acid, it’s crucial to wear sunscreen with a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin from sun damage.   
• Consult a Dermatologist: If you have any underlying skin conditions or concerns, consult with a dermatologist to determine if azelaic acid is right for you and to discuss any potential side effects.

By following these guidelines and using your azelaic acid cream consistently, you can effectively manage acne, hyperpigmentation, and rosacea.
