Azelaic acid is one of those ingredients I find myself recommending again and again, and people are often surprised by it.

It doesn’t get the attention that vitamin C or retinol do. It’s not the trendiest ingredient on the shelf. But it quietly helps address many of the concerns women come to me with every day.

Persistent redness. Breakouts that leave marks behind. Uneven skin tone. Pigmentation. Skin that feels reactive and easily irritated.

Here’s what I hope you take away from this post.

It’s not about chasing the highest percentage you can find. It’s about choosing the right formulation for your skin and using it consistently. A well-formulated 10% product can outperform a stronger product your skin can’t tolerate.

And no, azelaic acid doesn’t usually replace your vitamin C or retinol. For many people, it complements them. Every skin is different, and the best routine is the one that’s built around your skin’s needs, not what’s trending online.

If you’ve been dealing with redness, post-breakout marks, pigmentation, or you’re simply wondering whether azelaic acid belongs in your routine, that’s exactly what a consultation is for.

I offer both in-person consultations in Conception Bay South and virtual consultations across Canada, so wherever you are, we can build a routine that’s right for your skin.

Healthy skin isn’t about following trends. It’s about understanding your skin.

Have you ever bought a skincare product because the marketing made it sound amazing… only to wonder why it didn’t work?

You’re not alone.

Marketing has one job: to tell a story.

My job is to help you look beyond the story and understand what your skin actually needs.

As a licensed Medical Aesthetician, my recommendations are never based on the most expensive product, the prettiest packaging, or the latest trend.

Sometimes the best choice is evidence-based skincare.

Sometimes it’s an affordable pharmacy product.

The right recommendation is always based on your skin type, your current skin condition, your goals, and the science behind the formulation.

Over the years, one of the greatest compliments I’ve received from clients is that they finally understand why they’re using each product, instead of simply following trends or buying what social media tells them they need.

I’ve been offering personalized skin consultations, both in person and virtually, for several years, helping clients across Newfoundland and throughout Canada build routines based on their skin, not trends.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by skincare or aren’t sure where to start, I’d be happy to help through an in-person or virtual skin consultation, available by request.

Evidence-based skincare. Personalized for you.

Your skin already knows how to heal itself. Microneedling just gives it the signal to start.

When estrogen starts to decline, so does collagen. And microneedling is one of the most clinically effective ways to tell your skin to start producing it again. It is not magic. It is science. And it works.

Stimulates collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. Brightens and evens skin tone. Softens fine lines and wrinkles. Reduces acne scarring and improves texture. Enhances your skincare product absorption. Improves firmness and elasticity. Leaves skin smoother, healthier, and glowing.

At Michelle Lee Beauty microneedling is performed using a Health Canada approved device with single use sterile hyaluronic acid ampoules. Clean, precise, and results driven.

Every first time client begins with a complimentary consultation so we can make sure your skin is ready and your home care is supporting your results.

Every session includes complimentary LED light therapy.

$275 per session.
Series packages available, just ask.

Apparently the treatment bed is for everyone. Meet my grandson, the newest addition to the Michelle Lee Beauty clientele. He showed up Friday, took one look at the setup, and made himself completely at home. I think he approves!
