Information

Azelaic Acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid found in grains. It is a multifunctional skincare ingredient known for its ability to contribute to the appearance of skin tone, texture, and clarity. Due to its purifying, soothing, and antioxidant properties, Azelaic Acid is often used in skincare formulations for pore-clearing 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 performance.

What are the benefits?

PORE-CLEARING SOOTHING REJUVENATING

What are the benefits?

  • Pore-clearing: Can clear and unclog pores while it soothes the skin.
  • Dark Spots: Lightens dark spots and marks by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase, which causes hyperpigmentation.
  • Redness: Minimizes redness by keeping blood vessels from widening.
  • Renewing: Brightens skin and clears blocked pores by speeding up skin cell turnover.
  • Skin Tone and Texture: Evens out skin tone, fades marks and other discolorations, and refines skin’s surface through mild exfoliation.
  • Calming and Soothing: Calms sensitive and irritated skin.

How is it used in our products?

Azelaic acid is used, for example, in F84 Blemish Control Face Mask from OLIVEDA.  Its inclusion and beneficial properties contribute to pore clearing, evening skin texture and tone.  Antioxidants contribute to a more radiant skin condition and overall skin renewal. It is well-tolerated by most skin types, including sensitive skin, and pairs well with other ingredients like retinoids or vitamin C which contribute to its benefits.
