Azelaic Acid for Skin: Benefits, Uses & Routine Guide

What is azelaic acid?

Azelaic acid is an ingredient used in skincare for uneven-looking tone, blemish-prone skin and visible redness. It appears in a range of cosmetic formulas, including targeted leave-on treatments.

Why is azelaic acid popular?

Its versatility makes it useful in routines focused on several visible concerns at once, including blemishes, congestion, uneven texture and post-blemish marks.

How to introduce azelaic acid

Start according to the directions and frequency stated on your product. If your routine already contains exfoliating acids or other strong active products, introduce combinations gradually rather than layering everything at once.

Choosing an azelaic acid product

Consider the concentration, supporting ingredients, texture and your skin’s tolerance. A lower-strength formula may suit someone beginning an active routine, while experienced users may choose a more concentrated treatment when appropriate for them.
