Azelaic Acid Peel

About Azelaic Acid Peel

The Azelaic Acid Peel is a professional peel built on azelaic acid 25%. Clinics choose it for uneven tone and blemish-prone skin, and it gives a peel shelf an acid from a different family to the glycolic, lactic and salicylic peels that make up most ranges.

Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid, which means its molecule carries two acid groups. That sets it apart from the alpha hydroxy acids, such as glycolic and lactic acid, and from salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid. It is used in clinic protocols for uneven tone and blemish-prone skin, and it is generally well tolerated, which makes it a useful option when a client's skin does not suit a stronger exfoliating acid.

Clinics use the Azelaic Acid Peel in protocols for uneven tone, pigmentation, blemish-prone and acne-prone skin, and acne marks. Dermis & Dosis supplies it from Lahore to licensed clinics, dermatologists and trained aesthetic practitioners across Pakistan, with no public price.

In the treatment room

The Azelaic Acid Peel gives a clinic a well-tolerated option alongside its AHA and BHA peels, for clients with uneven tone or blemish-prone skin who may not suit a stronger exfoliant. It can sit on the same menu as a salicylic peel for acne-prone skin, giving the practitioner a choice of acid after the skin assessment. It is used as its instructions direct, and technique comes from the practitioner's training rather than from this page.

Generally well tolerated does not mean free of reactions, so the usual steps still apply. Take a medical history, including recent oral isotretinoin, active infections, broken or irritated skin and pregnancy, assess the skin and use a test area where appropriate. Darker skin types, common in Pakistan, are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after any irritation, so keep the approach cautious. Give sun protection and aftercare advice afterwards, and store the product closed, away from heat and out of reach of children.
