Ingredient

azelaic acid

What it is

A naturally-occurring dicarboxylic acid, typically used topically at 15-20% concentration — gentle and pregnancy-safe, a good option for acne, rosacea redness, or dark spots when skin can't tolerate stronger actives.

How it works

Antimicrobial action against acne-causing bacteria, anti-inflammatory effects, and inhibits tyrosinase to reduce excess melanin production.
