About the Product
Malezia 10% Micronized Azelaic Acid Cream features ultra-fine 5 µm azelaic acid — the smallest micronized particle on the market — designed for smoother application, enhanced efficacy, better absorption, and minimal irritation.
Formulated at a skin-friendly pH 4.5 — the optimal range for azelaic acid absorption — this minimalist nine-ingredient cream reduces the appearance of blemishes, improves uneven tone and post-blemish marks, eliminates redness, and refines texture — without clogging pores or feeding Malassezia.
Niacinamide (4%) helps strengthen the skin barrier, visibly refine pores, balance sebum production, and works synergistically with azelaic acid to diminish visible hyperpigmentation and uneven tone, while bisabolol soothes sensitivity — creating a balanced formula that supports clear, calm, and resilient skin, even for reactive or acne-prone types.
How It Works
Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid clinically shown to:
- Diminish the appearance of blemishes
- Reduce visible redness and inflammation
- Improve uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and post-blemish marks
- Regulate abnormal keratinization, preventing buildup that can lead to congestion and breakouts
- Inhibit Cutibacterium acnes and Malassezia growth
By micronizing the azelaic acid to 5 µm, this formula ensures smoother application, faster absorption, increased efficacy, and less irritation compared to standard azelaic acid suspensions.
