Azelaic Acid

Azelaic Acid 15% Cream is a dermatological medication used to treat various skin conditions characterized by hyperpigmentation and inflammation. Azelaic acid, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid derived from grain fungi, inhibits the overproduction of melanin, reduces inflammation, and normalizes cell turnover to promote healthier and clearer skin.
Indications for using Azelaic Acid Cream include the management of skin conditions such as mild to moderate acne, rosacea, and melasma. Azelaic Acid helps to combat acne-causing bacteria, minimize pore blockage, and suppress inflammatory responses that cause redness, swelling, and pustules. In addition to its bactericidal properties, Azelaic Acid reduces melanin production, a process that is often stimulated by inflammatory mediators like cytokines, ultimately preventing the formation of pigmentation.
For individuals suffering from rosacea, the Azelaic Acid 15% Cream helps reduce the reddened appearance of their skin by regulating the overstimulation of neurons responsible for triggering blood vessel dilation. Its antimicrobial action ensures that inflammation caused by bacteria is mitigated.
Similarly, when treating melasma, Azelaic Acid works to inhibit tyrosinase enzyme activity and suppress the formation of excess melanin, thereby preventing pigment darkening.
