Azelaic acid: what it does & who it's for
A multitasker: calms redness, fades spots, and clears blemishes. Safe in pregnancy.
What it is
A multitasker: calms redness, fades spots, and clears blemishes. Safe in pregnancy. In short, it's one of the active ingredients Vaiya's engine understands and can match to your skin and goals.
How to use it
Introduce Azelaic acid slowly — every other day at first — and give your skin a couple of weeks to adjust before increasing frequency. Patch test on a small area first, and if you layer several actives, add one at a time so you can tell what's working.
