Main characteristics
Azelaic acid is an asset 3 in 1 clinically proven that helps reduce acne outbreaks, pigmentation and redness.
This formula uses a state -of -the -art soluble form called Passium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD) (Potassium Azeloyl Diglicinato - PAD, for its acronym in English) that has properties similar to azelaic acid, but with a super light and free of oils. The strong point of the pad is to match the skin tone and control excess fat.
