Azelaic acid, what is it? Azelaic acid is actually a dicarboxylic acid that naturally exists in cereals, wheat and rye. It is effective in the field of skin care.

As far as antibacterial, azelaic acid can effectively inhibit the growth of harmful skin bacteria such as Propionibacterium acne. This bacteria is often the cause of acne breeding. Azelaic acid interferes with the metabolic process of bacteria, weakens its reproduction ability, and then achieves the purpose of preventing and alleviating acne.

And it has the ability to regulate the differentiation of keratinocytes. Normal keratinocyte differentiation can maintain the healthy state of the stratum corneum of the skin. If the differentiation is abnormal, it is easy to cause excessive keratinization of the hair follicle mouth, clog the hair follicle, and cause skin problems. Azelaic acid can normalize the differentiation of keratinocytes, keep the hair follicle mouth unobstructed, and reduce the occurrence of acne and other problems.

Furthermore, azelaic acid has anti-inflammatory effects. In inflammatory skin diseases, inflammatory reactions often lead to skin redness, pain and other discomfort. Azelaic acid can reduce skin inflammation by inhibiting the release and activity of inflammatory mediators, soothe skin discomfort, and help the skin return to a healthy state.

From this perspective, azelaic acid has a significant effect on skin care and is a great help in the field of skin care.
