Azelaic acid is a natural substance produced by a yeast that lives on our skin for the specific purpose of fighting bacteria to keep our bodies healthy. It's a powerful treatment for mild to moderate acne and reduces inflammation by balancing the ecosystem of our complexion. Azelaic acid's strength is in its ability to actually reduce the growth of bacteria inside hair follicles in your skin. In doing so, it minimizes both current and future blemishes (which are essentially clogged follicles and pores infected by bacteria). Dermstore's variety of professional skin care products that feature azelaic acid are ideal for those experiencing hard-to-control breakouts, free radical damage and blackheads.
