try to find something with ceramides and fatty acids ( I love krave great barrier relief, naturium barrier bounce and byoma phytomucin)

This is a good start but I feel like you could benefit from a barrier support product

Mentioned

a good starting point would be gentle cleanser, azelaic acid 1-2 times a week to get your skin used to it, the barrier bounce serum and then a lightweight moisturiser for pm

Positive

For now, I’ve just been using a daily gentle cleanser, moisturizer during the day. Cleanse, Barrier Serum, & CeraVe Petrolatum product at night.

Once my barrier is better, I will work on the other products
