Comparison of Azelaic Acid and Salicylic Acid

The cure for skin diseases depends on many medicines. Azelaic acid and salicylic acid are both commonly used agents for skin care and treatment, but they have their own characteristics and different effects.

Azelaic acid is mild and versatile. It can inhibit the secretion of oil from the skin, making the oil shine and converge. And it has antibacterial properties, can remove all kinds of bacteria on the surface of the skin, so that the skin is free from its disturbance. It also adjusts the metabolism of the skin and helps the stratum corneum to renew and order, so it is often effective for common acne, acne marks and other diseases. With it, the skin will gradually return to smoothness and uniform color.

Salicylic acid has a sharper sex. It specializes in loosening the stratum corneum, causing the accumulated stratum corneum to gradually fall off, clear the pores, and allow oil to flow smoothly, so it has a significant effect on acne and blackheads. And it can penetrate deep into the pores, clean away dirt, and improve the appearance of enlarged pores. However, due to its strong nature, people with sensitive skin may use it, or feel uncomfortable, such as redness, tingling, etc.

Compared with the two, azelaic acid is mild and suitable for a wide range of skin, that is, sensitive skin can also tolerate it; although salicylic acid has a rapid effect, it should be used with caution on sensitive skin. When a doctor uses medication, he should choose it carefully according to the nature of the patient's skin and the condition of the disease, in order to achieve the best effect and make the skin as healthy as ever.
