Potential Risks and Side Effects

While generally well tolerated, some users may experience the following side effects:

• Dryness and flaking: Retinol and azelaic acid can cause peeling or dryness, particularly during the first few weeks of use.

• Increased sensitivity to sunlight: The skin may become more prone to sun damage, requiring strict sun protection.
• Temporary darkening of pigmentation: Some users with hyperpigmentation may experience initial darkening before improvement.
• Breakouts or purging: Retinol can accelerate cell turnover, leading to temporary breakouts in acne-prone skin.
• Burning or itching: Some individuals may experience a burning or itchy sensation, especially if applied to broken or compromised skin.
• Swelling or inflammation: In rare cases, prolonged use may lead to localised swelling or increased skin inflammation.
• Skin sensitivity to other products: Users may notice increased reactivity to other skincare ingredients, such as exfoliants or acids.
