Azelaic acid is the newest dermatologist-approved ingredient, recognized for its ability to reduce redness, unclog pores, and combat hyperpigmentation and may be prescribed by a dermatologist or purchased over the counter.
This acid is found in over-the-counter spot treatments, face cleansers, and toners and is used topically on the skin. Azelaic acid is frequently prescribed as a cream or gel with a higher concentration.
Azelaic acid is milder than certain other acids, especially in over-the-counter formulas, it can be effective but may be used for longer periods of time. Higher concentrations of azelaic acid, such as those found in prescription topicals, are more effective.
Azelaic acid has a number of advantages, including the ability to break down dead skin cells, cleanse pores, and reduce hyperpigmentation.
Azelaic acid has been proven in studies to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections, remove post-acne markings and other discolourations, improve the skin's surface, and expose a more even skin tone. It can also help to minimise skin sensitivity and is suitable for all skin types.
Azelaic acid is a fantastic all-around spot solution because it prevents, soothes, and clears breakouts. It's antimicrobial, so it clears bacteria out of pores, avoiding breakouts. It also lowers inflammation, which soothes the skin during a flare-up. It promotes cell turnover and breaks down dead skin cells, speeding up the healing process and reducing the risk of acne scarring.
Azelaic acid suppresses an enzyme called tyrosinase, which is involved in the production of melanin skin pigment which causes hyperpigmentation. Helping to target the issue at the source to prevent the issue.
Azelaic acid is effective in calming skin redness because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which reduce skin inflammation and swelling.
Azelaic acid-containing products should be used once or twice a day, depending on the other products and acids you use in your routine. This is especially true if you're using the acid to treat acne or if you use deep-cleansing facial cleansers and toners on a regular basis.
Before using any azelaic acid treatment, whether over-the-counter or prescription, make sure you wash your face and hands. Azelaic acid can be used as a toner after washing your face and before applying moisturiser. As a leave-on treatment in the form of a serum or cream. If you're using a prescription cream, be sure you follow your doctor's directions.
For maximum efficacy, use azelaic acid formulations to clean, freshly washed skin. It is recommended to begin using it once daily at night and gradually increase it to twice daily.
