Skintellectual Azelaic Acid 10% is suitable for all skin types, especially for oily and combined skin. After application on oily and combined skin, the product can diminish the greasy sheen by creating skin mattifying effect.
 
Acne treatment
Azelaic acid has antimicrobial properties, making it effective against acne-causing
bacteria. It also helps unclog pores and reduces inflammation associated with acne
breakouts.
Hyperpigmentation
Azelaic acid inhibits melanin production, making it useful in treating hyperpigmentation
issues like melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and sunspots.
Anti-inflammatory
Azelaic acid has anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for calming redness and
irritation in sensitive skin types. It can alleviate symptoms of rosacea by reducing redness and inflammation.
Mild Exfoliation
It gently exfoliates the skin, promoting cell turnover and helping to fade acne scars and
other imperfections over time.
 
While generally safe, some individuals may experience mild side effects like itching, burning, or stinging upon initial use. It’s advisable to perform a patch test before widespread application and consult a dermatologist if adverse reactions occur.
 
Azelaic acid does not increase photosensitivity significantly, but it’s always recommended to use sunscreen during the day, especially when using products containing active ingredients like azelaic acid to protect the skin from potential sun damage.
