Azelaic acid reduces hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase, decreasing melanin production. This leads to a reduction in dark spots and a more even skin tone, particularly in cases of PIH and melasma.

Azelaic acid reduces hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme crucial in melanin production. This inhibition leads to a reduction in excess melanin synthesis, thereby lightening areas affected by post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and melasma. Regular application can result in a more even skin tone and decreased visibility of dark spots.
