Gently Exfoliates: It goes deep within the pores and removes dead skin cells that cause dull skin tone and clogged pores.

Fights acne: It has antibacterial properties, and it’s reported to be bactericidal to P. acnes, which leads to acne. Topical azelaic acid has no or little depigmentation effect on normally pigmented skin, freckles, age spots (solar lentigines), and nevi. It is widely used in cosmetics and s. At higher doses of 15-20%, azelaic acid is also an effective treatment that helps clear up dark spots from melasma or hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting free radicals as well as tyrosinase, an enzyme necessary for the production of melanin.
Reduces inflammation: Azelaic acid soothes irritation and helps to improve red bumps caused by inflammation.

Evens skin tone: It inhibits tyrosinase, which is an enzyme that leads to hyperpigmentation. It’s effective on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne breakouts and can affect melasma as well.

Treats rosacea: Azelaic acid could help with pore-clogging, inflammation, and secondary infections caused by rosacea: “It’s a less irritating option, which is why we use it for rosacea because the skin tends to be very sensitive.
Is safe for pregnant women: azelaic acid is one of the few treatment options for acne, rosacea, clogged pores, or pigmentation that is generally safe for pregnant women.

Is gluten-free: Despite being wheat-derived, most gastroenterologists agree that it likely can’t be absorbed significantly enough through your skin to trigger a gluten sensitivity or reaction.

Could be helpful with alopecia: “There have been some reports suggesting that it could help treat alopecia or hair loss,”Some doctors are having pharmacists incorporate it into their hair products because it might help to grow hair.”
