Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid used topically to treat acne and rosacea, working through antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and comedolytic actions. It also inhibits tyrosinase, helping reduce hyperpigmentation.
Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that attracts and binds water to the skin, helping to maintain hydration and improve the appearance of plumpness and smoothness. It is widely used in moisturizers and serums and is generally well tolerated across skin types.
