Azelaic Acid, Salicylic Acid

Azelaic Acid and Salicylic Acid is a combination medication used to treat various skin conditions, such as acne and rosacea. Azelaic Acid is a natural substance derived from a yeast called Pityrosporum, while Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid derived from willow bark.
Azelaic Acid works by reducing the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin discoloration, and by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that cause acne. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which help to reduce redness and swelling.
Salicylic Acid, on the other hand, is an exfoliant that helps to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells, which can lead to acne breakouts. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce redness and swelling.
The combination of Azelaic Acid and Salicylic Acid is effective in treating mild to moderate acne, as well as rosacea, by addressing the underlying causes of these skin conditions. It is typically applied topically as a cream, gel, or lotion, and should be used as directed by a healthcare professional.
This medication may cause some side effects, such as skin irritation, dryness, or peeling. If these side effects persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional.
