INCI Name: Azelaic Acid

Description

Azelaic Acid is a naturally occurring chemical belonging to the class of dicarboxylic acids. In skin care, it is most commonly used to treat acne. However, azelaic acid also reduces melanin production by inhibiting (largely indirectly) the enzyme tyrosinase. It also suppresses the proliferation of abnormal melanin-producing cells (melanocytes) by reducing the rate of DNA synthesis.  Our Azelaic Acid is a high-purity powder. Its anti-acne effect works by reducing the growth of bacteria in the follicle and rebalancing keratinization.
