Featured in our Azeloyl Glycine 8% Serum
Azeloyl Glycine has quickly earned its place as one of our top-selling ingredients, and honestly, we’re not surprised. Azeloyl Glycine is a smart, multi-functional skincare ingredient that merges the power of Azelaic Acid with the skin-nurturing benefits of the amino acid Glycine. This unique combination delivers targeted blemish-fighting action while supporting the skin’s overall balance and health. What makes Azeloyl Glycine stand out is its gentle yet efficient nature. Like Azelaic Acid, Azeloyl Glycine reduces inflammation and calms redness. It inhibits acne-causing bacteria, but does so with significantly less irritation, making it a more skin-friendly option, especially for those with sensitive or reactive skin types.
Another advantage is its superior formulation flexibility. While Azelaic Acid can be challenging to work with due to its poor solubility, Azeloyl Glycine blends easily into lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas, perfect for oily or breakout-prone skin that reacts poorly to heavy creams or occlusive textures.
Beyond its breakout-clearing benefits, Azeloyl Glycine also works to brighten uneven tone and fade post-acne discoloration by gently regulating melanin production. Thanks to Glycine, it also contributes to skin hydration and barrier support, promoting a clearer, healthier complexion without dryness.
Azeloyl Glycine delivers the clarifying, calming, and brightening power of Azelaic Acid but with a softer, more elegant touch, making it a standout choice for anyone seeking effective results without compromise. Plus, our formula is clean, gentle, and, most importantly, it gets results! Azeloyl Glycine is very safe, and its mild nature makes it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin types. But if you expect fast, dramatic results or suffer from severe acne or melasma, it may be best used as part of a broader skincare routine rather than as a standalone hero ingredient.
Please AVOID the following when using Azeloyl Glycine products:
- Alcohol-based Toners strip the natural oils and will aggravate acne-prone skin profiles
- Harsh scrubs and/or exfoliants, Retinoids, and Strong Acids
(unless you have been taught how to incorporate these)
