Aziderm 15% Gel

How Does Aziderm 15 Gel Work?

Aziderm 15 Gel works by targeting multiple factors contributing to acne and hyperpigmentation. The active ingredient, azelaic acid 15, penetrates deep into the skin, exerting its effects in several ways:

1. Antibacterial Action: It inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes, preventing infection and inflammation.
2. Regulation of Skin Cell Production: It normalizes the shedding of skin cells, preventing clogged pores that lead to blackheads and whiteheads.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects: It soothes redness and swelling associated with acne and rosacea.
4. Melanin Inhibition: It reduces melanin production, which helps in treating hyperpigmentation and dark spots.

By addressing these underlying causes, it benefits individuals suffering from acne and pigmentation disorders, promoting clearer and healthier skin.

How to Use Aziderm 15 Gel

To maximize the effectiveness of Aziderm 15 Gel, follow these application steps:

1. Cleanse Your Skin: Wash your face with a mild cleanser and pat it dry.
2. Apply a Pea-Sized Amount: Take a small amount of the gel and apply a thin layer to the affected areas.
3. Massage Gently: Rub the gel in circular motions until fully absorbed.
4. Use Twice Daily: Apply in the morning and at night, unless directed otherwise by a healthcare professional.
5. Avoid Sun Exposure: Since azelaic acid 15 gel may increase sun sensitivity, apply sunscreen before stepping outside.

For best results, consistency is key. Aziderm 15 Gel uses should align with your dermatologist’s advice for optimal skin improvement.
