Azelaic acid is recommended for more severe forms of acne. Visibly improves the appearance of the skin, reduces inflammatory changes on the skin (redness), fades the scars that remain after pimples.
Azelaic acid is a substance found naturally in grains such as barley, wheat and rye. It is created naturally by yeasts that live on healthy skin - Malassezia furfur. It has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it effective in the treatment of problematic skin such as acne and rosacea. It has the ability to prevent the formation of acne and cleanse the skin of the bacteria that cause it.
How to use azelaic acid for acne treatment
Azelaic acid works through several mechanisms:
Cleans the pores of bacteria that can cause inflammation
It reduces inflammation, so pimples are less visible, with reduced redness and less irritation
it stimulates the formation of new cells, so the skin recovers faster and thus the scars are less visible
Azelaic acid for acne scars
Since azelaic acid stimulates the formation of new skin cells, it reduces the appearance of scars. It also reduces the synthesis of melanin, which gives the skin its pigment and can lead to differences in skin pigmentation.
Other applications of Azelaic acid in cases of:
Excessive skin pigmentation,
redness of the skin
achieving a balanced skin tone

When it comes to pimples, acne scars and skin discoloration, there are three acids that are most commonly used for these purposes: glycolic acid (an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that removes the surface layer of dead skin cells, which prevents pimples from recurring and resolves scars, lactic acid ( also AHA acid, works similarly to glycolic acid but causes less skin irritation) and salicylic acid (beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) penetrates into the deeper layers of pores where it breaks down the pasty accumulation of sebum and dead skin cells and thus prevents clogging of pores.
If you have problem skin it is very likely that you will need all 3 of the above mentioned acids in your daily routine however azelaic acid can replace them all just as well.
It is adequate for suppressing the breakout of pimples and treating the consequences of pimples, such as spots that remain after pimples and rough skin texture.
Unlike glycolic and lactic acids, which are alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid.
Azelaic acid has an anti-inflammatory effect (reduces redness and swelling) and reduces the production of keratin - a protein that can clog pores and lead to pimples.
Azelaic acid can be used morning and evening after cleansing the skin and before applying other cosmetic products. During the application of azelaic acid, it is necessary to use means to protect against UV rays.
