Aziderm 15% Gel

Aziderm 15% Gel

Aziderm 15% Gel is a versatile dermatological treatment containing Azelaic Acid, known for its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and skin-brightening properties. It is primarily used to treat mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne by eliminating acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) and reducing the production of keratin, which can clog pores. Beyond acne, Aziderm is a gold-standard treatment for Rosacea, as it significantly calms redness and swelling. It also acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor, making it highly effective at fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne marks) and melasma without the harshness associated with other bleaching agents. The 15% gel formulation is lightweight and specifically designed for superior penetration and a matte finish.

Key Features

• Kills bacteria while simultaneously exfoliating the skin to prevent future clogged pores.
• Significantly reduces the redness and “flushing” associated with Rosacea and active acne breakouts.
• Targets overactive melanocytes to lighten dark spots and even out the skin tone without affecting normal skin color.
• Often better tolerated than Tretinoin or Benzoyl Peroxide, making it suitable for those with sensitive or reactive skin.
• Helps neutralize free radicals, protecting the skin from environmental damage and premature aging.

Key Ingredients

• Azelaic Acid (15% w/w)

Precautions

• It is very common to feel a mild tingling or itching sensation for the first few minutes after application. This usually subsides as the skin builds tolerance.
• While Azelaic Acid is not as photosensitizing as retinoids, you should still wear daily sunscreen to protect your skin and prevent dark spots from returning.
• Using abrasive scrubs or alcoholic toners alongside Aziderm may increase skin irritation.
• Azelaic Acid is generally considered one of the safer acne treatments during pregnancy, but always consult your doctor before use.
• Keep away from the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.

How to Use

• Wash the skin with a mild soap or soap-free cleanser and pat dry thoroughly.
• Apply a thin layer of Aziderm 15% Gel to the affected areas twice daily (morning and evening).
• Gently rub the gel into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
• If you experience dryness, apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer over the gel once it has dried.
• Results for acne are usually visible in 4 weeks, while pigmentation changes may take 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use.
