Description:

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid called a dicarboxylic acid. It is applied to the skin for its ability to help improve tone and texture — and particularly to treat acne and rosacea.This acid is found in grains like barley, wheat and rye — plus it can also be created in a lab from yeast. Lab-engineered AA is the type most often found in skin care products.Research shows that it has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, free-radical-scavenging and exfoliating effects, meaning it’s capable of reducing breakouts, signs of sun damage, redness, swelling and more

It seems to work by decreasing the presence of bacteria that can lead to acne and inflammation, and by inhibiting the release of cytokines on the top layers of the skin that contribute to issues like bumps, redness and uneven skin tone. It can also decrease production of keratin, which can help limit breakouts.

1. Can Help Reduce Acne
