Benefits of Azelaic Acid for Skin

When most people think of azelaic acid, they often contribute the skin care ingredient with rosacea. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, azelaic acid helps to reduce redness while blocking an excess production of melanin. However, rosacea isn’t the only condition that azelaic acid can successfully treat. Today, it’s commonly used to prevent clogged pores by killing the bacteria responsible for whiteheads and blackheads. Azelaic acid can treat mild to moderate acne, and can also be combined with other treatments like oral antibiotics or hormone therapy. Azelaic acid is well favored in the skin care industry due to its anti-microbial properties. When used as instructed, the acid is able to reduce bacterial growth on the skin by reducing keratin production, the substance known for promoting bacterial growth. Azelaic acid is also beneficial for treating hyperpigmentation, which can occur in combination with acne. Melanin is the pigments that gives hair, eyes, and skin their color. By reducing the amount of melanin in the body, you can decrease the level of skin’s pigmentation.

How AZA Cleanser and Toner Can Help

Start your daily skin care routine with the Purifying AZA Cleanser. The mild cleanser face wash targets redness and inflammation like rosacea, as well as eruptive breakouts. The cleanser contains ingredients like purifying BioSulphur which help to regulate hyperactivity within the sebaceous glands. You’ll also find kaolin clay, an all-natural ingredient designed to draw out impurities, such as dirt, oil, dead skin cells, and various toxins in your skin. Along with azelaic acid, arnica extract offers anti-inflammatory benefits that help calm irritated skin. Follow up the AZA Cleanser with the AZA toner. This powerful face toner fights against the buildup of keratinized skin cells that can cause pores creating comedones. The astringent contains a variety of ingredients that help reduce acne and combat the associated symptoms. Like the cleanser, the toner also contains BioSulphur which provides antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and sebum-regulating benefits. The toner also contains witch hazel, a plant extract that naturally removes dirt and oil from the skin without over drying it. Azelaic acid has gone largely unnoticed until now. The many skin care benefits it offers have made it a popular ingredient in many skin products.
