Azelaic acid gel at a

10% concentration is a multi-functional skincare treatment primarily used to manage mild-to-moderate acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. While higher strengths (15-20%) are often prescription-only, 10% formulations are widely available over-the-counter (OTC) and are generally better tolerated by sensitive skin. 

Core Benefits

• Acne Treatment: Kills bacteria (C. acnes) and prevents the buildup of keratin that can clog pores and lead to breakouts.
• Redness & Rosacea: Its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce the facial redness and swelling associated with rosacea.
• Hyperpigmentation: Acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor to fade dark spots, acne scars (PIH), and melasma.
• Gentle Exfoliation: Encourages cell turnover to improve overall skin texture. 

Common 10% Brands & Products

• Medicated Gels: Ezanic 10% Gel and Aziderm 10% Gel are common pharmaceutical options.
• OTC Serums/Boosters: The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10%, Paula’s Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster, and The INKEY List Azelaic Acid Serum.

How to Use

1. Cleanse: Wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and completely pat dry; applying to damp skin can increase stinging.
2. Apply: Spread a pea-sized amount thinly over the entire face or targeted areas.
3. Frequency: Typically used twice daily (morning and night). If you have sensitive skin, start once daily or every other day to build tolerance.
4. Sun Protection: Always finish your morning routine with SPF 30 or higher, as acids can increase sun sensitivity.
