Azeco recently highlighted Azepur99 (INCI: Azelaic acid), a high grade of azelaic acid for skin and hair care.
Azelaic acid is a multifunctional ingredient that is safe and effective for all skin types and is often found in cosmeceutical products.
Azelaic acid is known to regulate melanin production, which can help lighten dark spots, age spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It also inhibits the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis, per the company.
Azepur99 offers clearer, brighter and healthier skin in addition to its versatility, per the company. It is also effective in treating acne and preventing future breakouts by reducing inflammation, killing acne-causing bacteria, decreasing sebum production and preventing the formation of new comedones and helps fade acne scars, per the company.

The ingredient also helps with Rosacea, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, by reducing redness, pustules and papules, and regulating sebum production, resulting in a calmer and even-toned complexion, per the company.
Finally, azelaic acid is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and prevents oxidative stress, one of the main causes of premature aging. It also stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin texture and firmness, per the company.
