In a routine you'll most often find it in serums and moisturizers. Apply it after cleansing, before richer products, and it fits easily into both simple and more advanced routines.
It suits all skin types, but especially sensitive, combination, and oily skin. Thanks to its gentle action, it's well tolerated even by skin that struggles with acids or retinoids.
Azelaic acid helps skin prone to acne and blemishes, calms redness, improves the look of hyperpigmentation, and contributes to a more even skin tone. It's often used on skin with rosacea too, since it has a calming effect.
It pairs well with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and panthenol, as well as niacinamide. At first, avoid combining it with strong acids (AHA, BHA) and retinoids in the same routine if your skin is sensitive.
It can be used daily, morning and evening, depending on your skin's tolerance. Its gentle action makes it suitable for regular use, but during the day sun protection is always recommended.
