Information
Azelaic Acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in grains. It is a multifunctional skincare ingredient known for its ability to help improve the appearance of skin tone, texture, and clarity. Due to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, Azelaic Acid is often used in skincare formulations for acne treatments.
Where does it come from?
Azelaic acid is derived from grains like barley, wheat, and rye. A purified form is used in skincare formulations due to its greater stability and effectiveness.
Acne Treatment: Helps prevent acne by unclogging pores, killing acne-causing bacteria, and reducing inflammation.
Dark Spot Reduction: Lightens dark spots and acne scars by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which causes hyperpigmentation.
Redness Reduction: Reduces redness by preventing blood vessels from widening and neutralizing free radicals that cause inflammation.
Anti-Aging: Brightens skin and clears blocked pores by speeding up skin cell turnover.
Skin Tone and Texture Improvement: Evens out skin tone, fades post-acne marks and other discolorations, and refines skin’s surface through mild exfoliation.
Calming and Soothing: Reduces sensitivity and bumps, making it suitable for rosacea- and eczema-prone skin.
How is it used in our products?
Azelaic acid is used, for example, in F84 Blemish Control Face Mask and F85 Acne SOS Face Drops from OLIVEDA. Its inclusion helps treat severe skin conditions like acne and rosacea. The beneficial properties also help with uneven skin texture and tone. Antioxidants contribute to healthier-looking skin and reduce signs of aging. It is well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin, and pairs well with other ingredients like retinoids or vitamin C to enhance its benefits.
