What Is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition caused by blocked hair follicles and inflamed oil glands. It typically appears on the:
- Blackheads & whiteheads
- Papules (small red bumps)
- Pustules (spots with pus)
- Cystic lesions (deeper, painful swellings)
Acne often starts in adolescence but can affect adults at any age — and it’s highly treatable.
What Is Azelaic Acid?
Azelaic acid is a topical medication that treats acne by:
- Unblocking pores and reducing blackheads & whiteheads
- Killing acne-causing bacteria
- Reducing inflammation and redness
- Helping fade post-acne marks and pigmentation
It’s gentle on skin, suitable for most skin types, and doesn’t increase sun sensitivity — unlike some stronger treatments.
Azelaic acid is also used in conditions like rosacea or hyperpigmentation due to its anti-inflammatory and skin-brightening properties.
How to Use It
- Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin once or twice daily
- Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin
- Results may be seen in 4–8 weeks with consistent use
Use a non-comedogenic moisturiser and mild cleanser to support your treatment.
Possible Side Effects
- Mild skin irritation (tingling or burning)
- Dryness or peeling
