Healing Power: 4 out of 5
No dependency problems: 5 out of 5
Cost-Benefit: 5 out of 5
Sex: F
Age: 31
Time Taken: 120 days

Reason: red acne scars, uneven skin tone Date: 27 May 2006
Side Effects
none really. I expected the burning/sensitive feeling the packaging warned about, but didn't feel it; possibly because I'd been using Neutrogena's "Healthy Defense" lotion, which *does* sting a bit.

Additional Thoughts
After about 6 months or so, it really doesn't seem to have made much of a difference. It's hard to tell. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which causes ongoing acne and facial hair that needs to be plucked. Azelex has made my skin more sensitive (more easily damaged from plucking or acne scars) but the cream also *seems* to minimize the damage. Again, it's hard to tell. I have a medium complexion - somewhat dark, my complexion is what most people look like after a tan - and use it only on my chin and upper lip area.
