Acetic acid 99-100 % Foodgrade, E260 1 Liter

Azelaic acid is a versatile and effective ingredient that is used in skin care products because of its many skin benefits. It is often found in creams, serums and gels that are designed to tackle different skin problems, such as acne, hyper pigmentation and rosacea. Azelaic acid has antimicrobial properties, which means it can help combat bacteria that cause acne. It inhibits the growth of Propionibacterium ACNES, the bacterium that is often associated with acne outbreaks. By keeping the bacterial population under control, azelaic acid can help to reduce inflammation and prevent new pimples. In addition, Azelaic acid also has an exfoliating effect. It helps to remove the dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal, making the skin look fresher and more radiant. This can be especially favorable when reducing hyper pigmentation, such as dark spots and discolorations caused by acne or sun damage. Another advantage of azelaic acid is the inhibiting effect on the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of our skin. This makes it an effective treatment for hyperpigmentation and melasma, where dark spots occur on the face. By reducing melanin production, azelaic acid can help to level the skin color and reduce unwanted discolouration. Safety instructions for the use of azelaic acid are important to minimize possible side effects. Although azelaic acid is generally considered safe, it can in some cases cause skin irritation, such as redness, itching or a burning sensation. It is therefore advisable to perform a patch test before applying the product to your entire face. Apply a small amount of azelaic acid to a small part of your skin and observe for 24 hours whether a negative reaction occurs. In addition, it is important not to use azelaic acid in combination with other exfoliating ingredients, such as retinol or glycolic acid, unless this is recommended by a dermatologist. It can make the skin too sensitive and cause irritation. Finally, it is essential to use a sunscreen with a high SPF while using azelaic acid, because it can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. This helps to prevent damage due to UV radiation and to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. In short, azelaic acid is a powerful ingredient that offers many benefits for the skin, such as combating acne, reducing hyper pigmentation and leveling the skin color. However, it is important to follow the safety instructions and to check any side effects to achieve the best results and keep the skin healthy.
