About Azelaic Acid Derivative
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate is a water-soluble, synthetic derivative of azelaic acid designed for improved bioavailability and tolerability in skincare applications. It is primarily used topically for its skin brightening, sebum-controlling, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties. Preliminary to moderate scientific evidence supports these benefits. While generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild skin irritation or dryness.
