Aziderm Cream 20 % (15 gm)

What is Aziderm 20 Cream

Aziderm 20 Cream is a topical acne treatment used for acne, pimples, clogged pores, and post-acne marks. It contains Azelaic Acid 20% as the active ingredient. Azelaic Acid is a skin-applied medicine with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and keratolytic actions. Micro Labs Pvt Ltd manufactures this cream in GMP-certified facilities.

Aziderm 20 is a higher-strength Azelaic Acid cream compared with Aziderm 10 Cream. It is generally considered when acne is more persistent, inflamed, or not controlled well enough with lower-strength treatment. Since the 20% strength can cause more dryness, burning, or irritation, it should be used as advised by a dermatologist.

Store Aziderm 20 at a temperature below 25°C-30°C in a dry place. Keep the product away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Do not freeze the cream. Keep the tube tightly closed after use and away from children and pets.

What are the uses of Aziderm 20 Cream

Aziderm 20 Cream is mainly used for acne-prone skin when pimples, clogged pores, and inflammation are present. It can be prescribed for stronger acne control than lower-strength Azelaic Acid products.

Aziderm 20 cream uses include:

• Acne Vulgaris
• Pimples and inflamed bumps
• Comedonal acne, including whiteheads and blackheads
• Inflammatory acne with redness or swelling
• Clogged pores
• Post-acne marks and uneven tone
• Skin inflammation related to acne
• Persistent acne needing stronger Azelaic Acid support

Aziderm 20 Cream should not be used as a general fairness cream or casual skin-brightening product. Apply it only to the affected area and follow the dermatologist’s instructions.

How does Aziderm 20 Cream work

Aziderm 20 works by using Azelaic Acid to target common acne triggers on the skin. It reduces acne-causing bacteria, lowers inflammation, and helps stop dead skin cells from collecting inside pores.

Azelaic Acid also supports more normal skin-cell turnover. This helps reduce microcomedones, which are early clogged pores that can later become whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples. Its anti-inflammatory action can reduce redness, swelling, and tenderness around active acne.

Key benefits of Azelaic Acid in Aziderm 20 Cream include:

• Reduces acne-causing bacteria
• Helps clear clogged pores
• Calms inflamed pimples
• Supports smoother skin turnover
• Helps improve post-acne marks gradually

Acne can start improving after about 4-8 weeks of regular use. Post-acne marks and pigmentation often need longer, usually around 6-12 weeks or more, depending on skin response and sun protection.

Is Aziderm 20 Cream the same as Finacea?

Yes, Aziderm Cream 20% and Finacea are similar because both contain Azelaic Acid as the active ingredient and are used for acne-related skin concerns. They help reduce acne-causing bacteria, calm inflammation, and prevent clogged pores. Aziderm is manufactured by Micro Labs in GMP-compliant facilities.

The main differences are the brand name, manufacturer, formulation, packaging, and inactive ingredients. These differences do not change how Azelaic Acid works, but they can affect how suitable each product is for different skin types. A dermatologist can help choose the right Azelaic Acid cream based on acne severity and skin sensitivity.

How to take Aziderm 20 Cream

This acne cream with Azelaic Acid should be used as directed by the doctor for effective results. General guidelines on its proper use are:

• Clean the affected area gently and pat dry before applying the cream.
• Apply a thin layer of Aziderm once or twice daily as directed.
• Use a pea-sized amount for the face unless advised otherwise by a dermatologist.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, inside the nose, and broken or irritated skin.
• Wash hands after applying the cream unless treating the hands.

Do not apply a thick layer or use it more often than prescribed. Overuse can increase burning, peeling, dryness, and irritation.

What are the side effects of Aziderm 20 Cream

Aziderm 20 Cream can cause local skin reactions, especially during the first few weeks of treatment. The 20% strength can irritate sensitive skin more than lower-strength Azelaic Acid products.

Common Aziderm 20 Cream side effects include:

• Burning or stinging sensation
• Itching
• Dryness
• Redness
• Peeling
• Tingling
• Mild irritation at the application site

These effects often become easier to tolerate as the skin adjusts. A gentle moisturizer can help if dryness occurs, but it should be used as advised.

Serious side effects: Stop using Aziderm 20 Cream and consult a doctor if there is severe burning, swelling, blistering, intense rash, hives, breathing difficulty, or worsening irritation.

Interactions

Aziderm 20 Cream has fewer whole-body interactions than oral medicines because it is applied to the skin. Still, it can interact with other skincare actives by increasing dryness, peeling, and irritation.

Drug interactions

Inform a dermatologist if using other acne or skin medicines, especially:

• Topical retinoids such as Tretinoin or Adapalene
• Benzoyl peroxide
• Chemical exfoliants like Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid
• Cosmetic peels or strong exfoliating products

A dermatologist can decide whether these products should be avoided, spaced apart, or used on alternate days.

Disease interactions

Use Aziderm 20 Cream carefully if there is a history of:

• Very sensitive skin
• Eczema or dermatitis
• Broken or wounded skin
• Severe rosacea flare
• Skin allergy to Azelaic Acid or cream ingredients
• Frequent skin barrier irritation

Do not apply Aziderm 20 Cream on sunburned, cut, infected, or severely irritated skin unless a dermatologist advises it.

Food interactions

Aziderm 20 Cream does not have known food interactions because it is applied to the skin. Food does not directly change how the cream works on the treated area.

What precautions should you take with Aziderm 20 Cream
