Can I use this at night with my glycolic acid cleanser?

This stuff has saved my skin
I was suffering from bad hormonal acne on my chin. I went to a dermatologist and she put me on antibiotics for three months and prescribed very agressive creams. I tried it for three months but my acne got worse. I still had the Azelaic Acid Suspension laying around and decided to give it a go, in o...

Received oxidized serum
This was my first time ordering and sadly I received an already oxidized serum which is supposed to be unoppened, most probably it's a batch that is expired as the website states unoppened products have 3 years shelf life. I will seek to return this product and hope there won't be much hassle in t...

Surprisingly pretty effective with my redness
I have severe redness all over my face and Im very paranoid about what I put on my face. I love the velvet after feeling I get with this product. I also use it only at night given the other reviews. The only complaint I have is that it is only sold in this small size.
Hormonal/pregnancy acne
Hormonal acne has kicked my butt during pregnancy, and almost nothing helped at until this (even other brands/types of azalaic acid). This didn't cure the issue entirely but it is one of the only things that visibly helped and made a noticable difference for me in an issue that was really impacting my confidence! Recommend buying multiple at a time if you like it because it can run out quickly.
Hard to Use
I cant speak to how well this product works for hyperpigmentation because it pills so horribly you literally cannot use any other products with it. And forget about wearing foundation over it! As someone who is 37 yo and struggling with hormonal acne, my other products are a non negotiable, so I rarely use this except occasionally on the weekends when I dont wear makeup. And when I do use it, it seems like I get an increase of blackheads a day later. Im glad this wasnt expensive because it mainly sits on my vanity taking up space lol. If you have a similar sitch as me, I highly recommend the acne kit from Tula; it also has azaleic acid in it, and has done wonders for my acne AND fading my acne scars.
So amazing
I love this product so much. It's so amazing it moisturize my skin, brighten my skin, and even my skin tone definitely a gem
My skin texture and breakouts got worse
This was supposed to be a rosacea friendly acne management product. It smells awful. It pills up badly if you don't give it 3-4 minutes to absorb and I've had more breakouts after 6 weeks of use.
