What is Azelaic Acid? The Anti-Inflammatory in Alix Earle’s New Skin Serum

What is azelaic acid?

So, what is azelaic acid anyway? Known for calming the appearance of redness, it can also help fade visible dark spots, soothe acne and gently exfoliate.

Other key ingredients include glycerin (a humectant that locks in moisture), niacinamide (smooths texture and evens tone) and betaine (reinforces the skin barrier). Plus, a calm signal complex to combat visible signs of stress in the skin.

As with any skincare product, we’d recommend doing a patch test (especially if your skin is sensitive) before incorporating it into your routine. Start out by using this a few times weekly in the morning, before using daily.
