    GlossaryAzelaic Acid

    naturally occurring compound used for anti-inflammatory and antibacterial purposes

    Azelaic Acid is a naturally occurring compound found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye. It is commonly used in skincare products for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it effective in treating conditions like acne and rosacea. Additionally, it can help reduce hyperpigmentation and is sometimes used in treatments for hair loss due to its ability to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which plays a role in androgenetic alopecia.
