I’m thrilled with the results from my Dermatica rosacea prescription 6 weeks in. I can’t wait to see what my skin looks like in another 6 weeks! How to get your very own Dermatica prescription + exclusive offer Boasting 20% azelaic acid and with this ingredient being the first on the INCI list (besides water), this is a powerful solution. Loads of skincare brands market their key “actives” on products, but when you look at the INCI list, those ingredients are right at the bottom. Disappointing, I know. Of course, the formula is king, so this isn’t applicable to every product, but it is to a lot of them. It’s so refreshing to see that a product marketed for azelaic acid features this ingredient right near the top of the ingredients list. As my skin was dry and sore about 1 week in, I decided to stop using the prescription for about 3 days to let my skin recover. My skin is more on the oily side, so I don’t typically experience dryness. It felt really uncomfortable at this point. Once my skin had recovered, I only applied the prescription at night and every other day to allow my skin to build more tolerance.

Founded in 2018 by Dwayne D’Souza, Dermaticais an online dermatology service that creates bespoke skincare prescriptions based on your skin’s needs.Dwayne felt that high-quality, dermatology-recommended, and evidence-based prescription skincare was out of reach for the vast majority of the population. He created Dermatica to change this.

If you are using at the same time as tret, allow the cream to absorb thoroughly before moving on to the tret After you select what treatment you’d like, you answer a questionnaire about yourself and your skin. It includes questions about medical conditions, age, ingredient allergies, and more. At this stage, you also upload 3 clear and high-quality pictures of your skin, without makeup, for Dermatica’s dermatology team to assess. You take 1 photo of the right side of your face, 1 photo for the left side of your face, and 1 photo of the front of your face.Dermatica have now brought out their first "over the counter" product - Azelaic Acid 20% Cream. I've been using this for about 6 weeks now so it's time to share my thoughts! Azelaic Acid is fantastic for acne sufferers as it helps reduce inflammation as well as fading any pigmentation that has been left behind by spots. This cream also contains Ceramides and Vitamin E to soothe and nourish skin. Azelaic acid: treats a myriad of skin concerns, like reducing the appearance of redness and breakouts, fading blemishes, and refining skin tone. A true powerhouse ingredient So now we know who needs this and what it can do, let’s find out why you need this particular Azelaic Acid. Dermatica‘s first “over the counter” product has a more rounded ingredient list than most prescription skincare creams have, making it a real powerhouse. It combines a prescription strength concentration of a well studied dermatological treatment with some beneficial ingredients that work together to make this a great treatment moisturiser. I’ll break down what’s in there (aside from the obvious like water, texture enhancers, preservatives and Azelaic)- All prescriptions are created uniquely for the individual. Prescriptions are continually personalised, based on the prescriber’s skin as it changes over time. How does Dermatica work? It might cause some irritation (read redness, dryness and itching) so pair with moisturising layers and B vitamins and non foaming cleansers

As well as my everyday redness being reduced, I’ve also noticed that my rosacea flare-ups are both less frequent and less noticeable when they happen. My rosacea tends to flare up when my skin gets warm. Now I’m finding that my rosacea doesn’t get triggered so easily. But when my skin does flare up, the redness is less obvious now and tends to go away much faster. This is great because I’d sometimes get a rosacea flare-up when putting on makeup. My skin would get warm while I was applying products, which led to unwanted extra redness. I’d have to apply extra foundation or concealer to cover the additional redness for an even base. Now, this redness is far less noticeable and goes away faster. It means I’m using less makeup to compensate for any skin redness. Before and after photo Now although 20% is a high percentage for Azelaic Acid, I've not had any issues with sensitivity or over-exfoliation. I went straight to using this most 4-5 nights a week. Once I realised my skin was tolerating the cream well, I reintroduced my Vitamin A serum (Medik8 Crystal Retinal 10) to my routine. I’ve been using my Dermatica rosacea prescription every night consistently for roughly 6 weeks. I’m pleased to share that I’ve seen considerable results with my skin. You’re supposed to use the prescription every morning and night. However, if you’re finding the treatment too drying or uncomfortable, you can drop this to every night or even every other day. If the dryness is particularly uncomfortable, Dermatica advises applying your moisturiser first, waiting for this to absorb for 3-5 minutes. Then, you can apply the prescription to your skin.Propanediol- An oily substance that creates a smooth vehicle for the actives and helps with penetration. It’s fine for sensitive and acne prone skin and helps to moisturise Dermatica describes rosacea as: “Rosacea is a cause of persistent redness around the cheeks, chin, nose and forehead, affecting around 10% of people.”
