Azelaic acid exfoliates deep into your pores, cleaning out bacteria responsible for issues like acne. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it a soothing ingredient for anyone with problem skin. The acid can also even out your skin tone by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme that causes hyperpigmentation.
Azelaic acid is naturally produced by the yeast on your own skin. It can be derived from cereals and grains or created in a lab for cosmetic use. The acid not only benefits skin as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It also decreases keratin levels, a protein which builds up to cause blemishes.
Anyone with acne, rosacea or hyperpigmentation can see improvements from using azelaic acid. It can take a couple of weeks to be effective so stay patient!
