Azelaic acid, commonly known as azalic acid, appears as white to yellowish monoclinic prism, needle-shaped crystal or powder. Chemically, azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid . It works on skin as a gentle leave-on exfoliant which helps unclog pores and refine skin’s surface. Azelaic acid also significantly lessens factors in skin that lead to sensitivity and bumps anddelivers antioxidant benefits. Azelaic acid can be derived from grains like barley, wheat, and rye, but it’s the lab-engineered form that is typically used in skincare products because of its stability and effectiveness. Found in grains, Azelaic Acid is produced naturally by yeast that lives on normal skin. It brightens the skin tone while visibly improving the evenness of skin texture and reducing the look of blemishes. It is a multi-functional support ingredient for all skin types and also acts as an effective antioxidant.
Azelaic acid works by inhibiting misbehaving elements on and within skin’s uppermost layers. Left unchecked, these troublemakers lead to persistent, visible skin imperfections (like brown patches and post-blemish marks), dull skin tone, and signs of sensitivities. It seems azelaic acid has a radar-like ability to interrupt or inhibit what’s causing skin to act up.
