azelaic acid
With its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, azelaic acid works against impurities, pimples and pustules. It reduces redness and irritation of the skin. Azelaic acid helps to significantly fade pimple marks and pigment spots (UV-related sun damage, age spots, melasma) and thus contributes to a smoother, more even and radiant complexion.
Azelaic acid belongs to the chemical group of dicarboxylic acids and is obtained from barley, rye or wheat. Azelaic acid in the mild form we use in combination with the skin-care amino acid glycine (PAD = Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate) is particularly well tolerated - even for sensitive skin types.
