INCI name
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate is a multifunctional ingredient that combines the effectiveness of azelaic acid with the moisturizing power of glycin. It is also known as Azeloglycine.

Thanks to noticeable antibacterial action, Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate reduces the growth of bacteria in the follicle (Proprionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis). In addition, it exhibits keratolytic and comedolytic properties and returns the disordered growth of the skin cells lining the follicle to normal.

Azeloglycine inhibits 5-alpha-reductase (which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone-DHT—), regulating sebum production, reducing oil excess on the face and scalp, and improving acne and androgenetic alopecia. Moreover, Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate is a potent scavenger of free radicals that reduces inflammation, lessening skin redness, rosacea, and irritation.

Due to azelaic acid's tyrosinase-inhibiting activity, Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate reduces skin pigmentation. It is beneficial in applications for darker-skinned patients whose acne spots have left persistent brown marks or who have melasma.
