Well, let me tell you, this whole skincare thing, it’s a real head-scratcher. Back in my day, we just used a bar of soap and called it good. But now, there’s all these fancy acids and whatnot. This one time, I heard about azelaic acid and salicylic acid. I was thinkin’, can you use them together? Seems like a lot of acids, you know?
So, I did a little digging, like planting seeds in the garden, you gotta do the work to get the results, you feel me? Turns out, you can use these two fellas, azelaic acid and salicylic acid, together. Yeah, you heard that right. Like peas and carrots. But just like overwatering your plants, you don’t wanna overdo it. Gotta go slow, like a tortoise, not a hare.
This azelaic acid, they say it comes from them grains, like wheat and barley. We used to feed that to the chickens! Now they put it on your face. Who would have thought? And they say it’s good for your skin. Even if your skin is sensitive, like a newborn babe. You know what I mean? It won’t hurt you, this acid thing. It is good for acne.
Now, this other one, salicylic acid, I heard it’s good for unclogging your pores. You know, like when the kitchen sink gets all backed up? Gotta clear out the gunk. Same thing with your face, I reckon. And acne is a big problem. People will like to get rid of the acne.
But here’s the thing, you don’t wanna use too much of either one. It’s like cooking, gotta have the right amount of salt. Too much and it ruins the whole dish. They say a little bit of each is okay. Or you can use one one day, and the other the next day. Like rotating your crops, you know? Gotta give the soil a rest sometimes. These two acids won’t fight each other. They can make friends and get along with each other.
And don’t go using them alcohol cleansers and all that. That’s like pouring gasoline on a fire. Just gonna irritate your skin. Stick to gentle stuff. Like a soft cloth. You can use some mild cleanser.

Here some things you can think about if you want to use them together:
- First, just use a tiny little bit. Like a pinch of salt. Don’t slather it on like butter on bread.
- Second, don’t use it every day at first. Maybe just a couple times a week. See how your skin does.
- Third, if your skin gets all red and angry, stop using it. Give your skin a break, like you’re giving your feet a rest after a long day of work.
- If you’re not sure about something, ask one of them skin doctors. They know all about this stuff.
- Use some moisturizer. Don’t let your skin dry out.
So, can you use azelaic acid with salicylic acid? Yep, you sure can. Just be smart about it. Don’t go overboard. And listen to your skin. It’ll tell you what it needs. Like a good old friend, it will tell you what is right or wrong. And remember, your skin is like a garden, treat it kindly, and it’ll bloom.
Using these two together can be good for your skin. But some people have bad skin. If you use too much, it can make your skin dry and itchy. So, be careful, yeah? And the salicylic acid is good for acne. But don’t use it too often. Maybe use them on different days. This will be better for your skin.
I remember one time, I used too much soap on my hands, and they got all cracked and dry. It hurt real bad. So, I know what it’s like to have bad skin. You don’t want that. It will be really uncomfortable.
I hope this helps you out. This skincare stuff is confusing, but it ain’t rocket science. Just use your common sense, and you’ll be alright. You don’t need a lot of money to have good skin. Just use some good products, and be careful. Then you can have good skin, like me!
