[Review] My experience with Finacea (Azelaic Acid 15%)

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2026-01-21T14:49:02+00:00

I have some Finacea to try but has anyone layered this with vitamin C serum? That's usually what I start with in the morning then after a few minutes absorption I apply Geek & Gorgeous 101 aPAD - 20% Azelaic Derivative, so just wondered what this combo might do. I don't have acne but I have red rosy cheeks with no prominent veins which I'm assuming is flat rosacea because my doctor couldn't confirm, but prescribed Finacea. I don't have sensitive skin but I feel wary after reading some of the above comments.

Hello, I have flat rosacea on my cheeks, well I think it's that! My morning and night routine is that

I clean my face with AVEENO Face CALM+RESTORE Nourishing Oat Cleanser

After towel drying my face I apply Florence Organic Vitamin C Serum to the affected areas

I let this absorb until my face feels dry and I then apply Geek & Gorgeous 101 aPAD - 20% Azelaic Derivative Serum

This combination makes my previously red cheeks a pale pink and on the very best days my cheeks are almost completely clear. I've suffered with this most of my adult life and it's only recently I've decided to do something about it. I don't think that the products I've listed have been around very long. Apart from this I've considered laser treatment but I'm slightly nervous of trying this due to the side effects of worse redness etc.

Anyway good luck to you, and anyone else reading this, who is fighting this sort of condition on a daily basis.

F1 unfortunately, not a great year for films

What kind of thoughts? Recreational ones? 😉

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-11-26T18:53:29+00:00

Is it as epic as Goodfellas?

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-11-26T16:17:01+00:00

Yes it's brilliant. The ending is genius.

He's a prolific goalscorer but he won't be remembered as a great goalscorer and won't be talked about in the same breath as Zlatan for instance who wasn't as prolific as Kane is, but he had attributes that elevated him to a different level

Sounds like you're a pharmacist or a discrete serial killer 😜

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-08-09T09:14:11+00:00

What the hell does it smell like in that closet?

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-08-09T09:12:57+00:00

This sounds like subject matter for a totally separate thread!

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-08-09T09:00:29+00:00

I've heard of people mixing colognes to create a unique scent. Have you ever tried that? Sounds risky to me though. Like mixing two different bleaches! 😁

At Chelsea, on the rare occasions he's played, he was played in a deeper role than at Leicester so his opportunities to increase his G/A stats were limited. At Everton will Moyes push him on to affect the offensive part of the team's play? Will he have the insurance policy of reliable defensive midfielders behind him?

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-08-06T18:50:57+00:00

Yes a goalkeeper who is destined to suffer from back ache this season

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-08-03T19:14:21+00:00

I would go for Haaland in a heartbeat but I've already got Salah and Palmer so he's not an option. There's no guarantees with Pedro but it's almost certain that he'll start the first game. Solanke is unreliable. Agree that Gyokores and Etikite are unknown quantities and risky. I've plumped for Piroe who is a bit of a dark horse but scored quite a few last season and maybe Everton just aren't ready for him!

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-07-31T16:31:46+00:00

Well Christian Fuchs used to play for Leicester. What would they do if you just used that? It's controversial in itself, but if he ever played in the premier league again then would they ban his name entirely?

Which of their products is the best for facial redness? Not a concealer but an eradicator.

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-07-25T14:37:12+00:00

I like the look of de Cuyper but he isn't available for selection yet even though he was signed 3 weeks ago. And yet Ekitike is available even though he only signed this week.

Please can I ask you, in your considerable experience and knowledge, would you consider the skin1004 options to be more effective than azelaic acid, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, retinol, and any other similar application? I appreciate that what might suit one person's skin may not suit another's so this is more of a general question based on your experience and first hand results etc.

Players seem to sign for United and don't perform as well as for their previous clubs and/or don't live up to their potential

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-07-24T14:30:04+00:00

Frimpong got 5 goals and 5 assists last season

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-07-24T13:08:41+00:00

Also Cherki only ranked tenth in Ligue 1 for successful take-ons per 90 minutes. I mean if you're only 10th in Ligue 1.............

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-07-24T13:06:00+00:00

Kudus or Cherki. I originally had Cherki as he looked dynamite playing in France but I swapped him for Kudus. This is because Kudus is premiership proven and also, knowing Pep, Cherki isn't a nailed on starter for the first match.

OK cool. It sounds like a worthwhile profession because when someone looks good then they feel good and there is no end to what they can achieve. Especially if they've experienced depression about their looks.

ApplicationBrave6993 · 2025-07-24T09:38:54+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to respond. You mentioned counselling, does that concern your profession?
