Heres how azelaic acid helps your skin:

- Reduces inflammation. Azelaic acid can counter or neutralize free radicals that cause inflammation. It has significant skin-calming effects and helps to improve redness.
- Evens skin tone. It decreases pigmentation, inhibiting an enzyme called tyrosinase that leads to hyperpigmentation, or dark patches of skin. This is why azelaic acid is great for acne breakouts, post-acne scarring and melasma.
Fights acne. Azelaic acid kills bacteria on your skin that cause acne. It decreases the activity of bacteria called Propionibacterium, the bacteria found in acne, due to its bacteriostatic (limits the production of bacteria) and bactericidal properties (kills bacteria).
- It induces skin lightening/brightening effect.
