It contains ‘Azelaic acid’, a dicarboxylic acid with antibacterial, keratolytic (removes warts, calluses and other lesions), comedolytic (inhibiting the formation of blemishes), and anti-oxidant activity. It is bactericidal and inhibits the synthesis of microbial cellular proteins. It clears the pores of bacteria that cause irritation and breakouts.
