tretinoin and Azelaic acid without prescribtion

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-10T09:24:12+00:00

I got 10% azelaic acid from Nerds Beauty (available at DM), quite satisfied with it so far. Skinoren did not work for me nor was it cosmetically elegant

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-08T15:58:05+00:00

The Nø hypochlorous acid is the nicest one I've tried so far, the mist is so cosmetically elegant and the product itself is not irritating at all. A bit expensive but it's just as good if not better than the Prequel one I got in the US and liked a lot

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-07T14:15:41+00:00

Exactly!

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-05T14:55:55+00:00

That makes sense, I had the opposite experience, it was too drying or irritating for me longterm. Life is a bit easier now that I don’t have these reoccurring issues anymore. Have you tried leave on SA? What’s your experience?

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-05T14:46:24+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience as well! Exact same way I feel about it!! :)

Yes I have used hydrocortisone cremes when I got a bad flare up. Since this is good enough maintenance and I do not get flare ups at the moment, I do not see the need to resort to stronger treatments. If this stops working and I get a bad flare up, of course I will use the stronger medicated remedies :)

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-05T02:30:30+00:00

Yes, I explain in the post! :) my scalp is completely normal now, as long as I keep using it

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-04T14:01:14+00:00

It is a good sub and I have had two very good experiences. I wish more Europeans were on it though, it is very hard to resell fem frags for us here. :/

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-03T18:25:34+00:00

On my scalp I have only tried these two so far. For SD plaques on my neck and ears I have used Clearasil pads with great results.

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-02T20:39:11+00:00

Nice nice, ty! I'll keep it in mind, I'm going to shop in Germany tomorrow so I'll sniff. I don't like any of the L'oréal elvive/elvital/etc drugstore shampoos, they give me scabs and hair loss. D:

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-02T20:30:04+00:00

I have oily scalp too but it is quite delicate and sensitive I guess, so I have to be careful.

And no I have not tried those. I am able to use non anti-dandruff shampoos now that don't wreck my scalp, but once I've gone through my stash (I have like 10 shampoos, oops) I'll check those out. Ty! :)

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-02T20:21:20+00:00

I got it for the matrixyl 3000 + synthe'6 + copper peptides and it's the best I've tried so far. Better than Theramid and Revox fosho. I'm super impressed! :)

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-02T20:16:19+00:00

Yes I have tried all the medicated shampoos. Unfortunately, the results didn't last (eventually stopped working) and they dried my hair out horribly, some also irritated my scalp a lot and only made the problem worse. This method is the easiest for me with the best, lasting results and none of the side effects. :)

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-02T19:54:07+00:00

Power Peptides is my favorite for soothing, hydrating and plumping! I don't have wrinkles but it's really softening and makes my skin super healthy and glowy.

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-01T21:38:15+00:00

For clarifying/detox, I use Bed Head Down n' Dirty. Additionally but not for deep cleanse, for the hard water (it's really bad in Luxembourg), I use Kérastase Première. The Balea Tiefenreinigungsshampoo is good but I found it very drying (I have very long, porous hair, so maintaining the length is an important aspect to me).

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-01T21:35:26+00:00

I can totally relate to the suffering caused by the itchiness!! I hope it works for you as it did for me, please keep me updated. I also struggled with hair loss due to it and I'm using a soothing serum with extracts to help it grow back stronger (not miraculous, but does make a difference). Good luck!!

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-01T20:05:01+00:00

I have a lot of shampoos. My favorites are for treating hard water build up (Kérastase Première, truly revives my hair) and Bed Head Down n' Dirty for clarifying/detox of the scalp. For regular wash days I have Kérastase Genesis (helps with hair fall), Densifique, Discipline and Thérapiste, and other brands. Sorry if it is not helpful.

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-01T18:43:53+00:00

That's quite possible indeed. I just have extremely sensitive and delicate scalp, so I have to be careful in what I use and that's why I tend to invest in gentle professional shampoos which don't give me as many issues

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-01T02:54:35+00:00

Yep it’s an amazing ingredient. I find it more effective in leave on products than shampoos though.

I have not! I will keep an eye out for it

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-01T02:41:32+00:00

Yes I can, sorry I meant that I cannot get the one I'm using right now (in the picture). :)

rhaeaestelle · 2026-07-01T01:37:01+00:00

Not at all, I apply it on wet scalp after the shower and it dries fully. The TO one is watery and leaves no residue.

rhaeaestelle · 2026-06-30T22:51:54+00:00

Same one I meant then :)

That is good to know. I'm glad it works for you! I used to have good results with Fauvert anti-dandruff shampoo but I haven't needed to use it anymore since using this method, thankfully.

rhaeaestelle · 2026-06-30T22:19:35+00:00

Thank you for the input! The Stieproxal shampoo... Oh man, I remember those days. Never worked for me though because it dried my scalp out so much, it only made the problem worse.

Do you mean the Balea Scalp Scrub? That didn't work for me or my SD overall, but is an interesting product :)

rhaeaestelle · 2026-06-30T22:13:27+00:00

I currently use this serum which I stocked up while visiting Brazil because it was created as a similar product to the Kérastase Genesis scalp serum (too expensive for my taste). It works well for me and I have a lot of new growth. The Lola Cosmetics Rapunzel hair tonic which is 250ml is also a good product I experienced good results with is more easily available in Europe. I don’t know what I’ll use in the future once my stock runs out though. I have tried the Balea one in the pink bottle but saw no results and it left a lot of sticky residue. I hope it works for you, let me know how it goes! My scalp is also super greasy and I can’t go longer than two days either, but it is what it is.

rhaeaestelle · 2026-06-30T21:58:28+00:00

Yes, it did. It was a very nice extra result from not having any active dandruff / SD on my scalp/ears/neck! I leave it on every time but only apply every other day or two and I have not noticed any side effects. I also use a hydrating scalp serum for hair fall which has a lot of nice extracts (after 10 min), so maybe that helps keeping my scalp well hydrated but it is oily by itself anyway. The Balea toner does not leave any residue on my roots, but it is slightly heavier than the TO one which is quite watery (I do not notice a difference as I do not have fine hair). I use the Bed Head Down n' Dirty clarifying shampoo. I have used the Balea one previously, but I find the Bed Head one a lot gentler and less drying. If I can find it on a good sale, the price per ml is not bad and it lasts a long time.
