Azelaic Acid
Azelaic Acid is commonly found in cosmetic formulations to help the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also be used to help with uneven skin tone. Although azelaic acid can exfoliate skin when properly formulated (just like for AHAs and BHA, the product’s pH range matters), it doesn’t exfoliate the same way or with the same level of effectiveness as ingredients like glycolic acid and lactic acid (AHAs) or salicylic acid (BHA). Azelaic acid offers additional benefits that AHA and BHA ingredients don’t provide, especially when it comes to improving uneven skin tone.
