Sharon’s verdict
Worth it
What Sharon would tell you
Azelaic acid is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and brightening. It is useful across rosacea, acne, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigment.
It is also one of the more useful options during pregnancy, when retinoids and a few other actives are off the table.
