Azelaic Acid Skincare Products

What Does Azelaic Acid Do?

Azelaic acid is a gentle multitasker that has earned a devoted following, particularly among anyone dealing with redness, blemishes and uneven tone. It calms inflammation, helps clear breakouts and fades the dark marks they leave behind, all while being mild enough for sensitive and reactive skin. It's one of the few actives dermatologists recommend for both acne and redness-prone skin at the same time.

How to Use Azelaic Acid

Azelaic acid usually comes as a leave-on serum or cream, applied once or twice daily after cleansing. The Ordinary Azelaic Acid 10% is the cult choice, loved for calming redness and fading marks. It's gentle enough to layer with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid - and as with any brightening active, pair it with daily SPF to protect your progress.
