Azelaic Acid

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring compound derived from grains such as barley, wheat, and rye. In skincare, it is synthesised for stability and used in various formulations for its multitasking abilities.

In dermatology, azelaic acid is widely used to treat acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. It works by reducing the growth of acne-causing bacteria, soothing inflammation, and inhibiting melanin production, making it an effective brightening agent.

The benefits of azelaic acid include calming redness, fading dark spots, and improving overall skin tone. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin and provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage. Regular use can result in clearer, more radiant skin with fewer blemishes and less irritation.
