Azelaic acid

Usable together but ease in, since two exfoliating-type actives at once can over-irritate. Glycolic acid is an AHA that resurfaces, and azelaic acid can add to the load, so sensitive skin may prefer to alternate them on different days or use one in the morning and the other at night. If combined, introduce slowly and watch for stinging or flaking. There is no chemical clash; the caution is about tolerance, not compatibility.

Generally layer fine together; sequence thinnest to thickest.

Generally compatible; some alternate to manage overall load.

Generally layer well together.

Not just fine together but a pairing with a purpose: azelaic acid goes underneath, sunscreen last. Azelaic acid works on uneven tone, and sun re-stimulates the pigment it is trying to settle, so daily protection is what lets the results hold rather than a conflict to manage. There is no chemical clash between the two. Apply azelaic acid, let it absorb, then sunscreen as the final layer.

Both are used for post-inflammatory marks and both are gentler than the classic brighteners. Commonly layered; azelaic acid also calms the redness side, which tranexamic acid does not address.
