Stop the Cycle of Acne Formation
Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory disorder of the pilosebaceous unit, with a generally self-limiting chronic course. It is a very common skin disorder which can present with inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions, chiefly on the face, but can also occur on the upper arms, trunk, and back. Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid analogue with antimicrobial and keratinisation-normalising properties that interfere with acne formation.
