How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Azelaic Acid 1%/Progesterone 1% Topical Cream is a specially compounded medication designed to address various skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the potent properties of azelaic acid and progesterone, two active ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing benefits.

Azelaic acid is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that effectively reduces sebum production, an oily substance that can clog pores and lead to acne. On the other hand, progesterone is a hormone that aids in reducing inflammation and redness. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to alleviate acne symptoms, reduce inflammation, and minimize redness, thereby reducing the risk of scarring and other skin damage caused by acne.

When applied topically, Azelaic Acid 1%/Progesterone 1% Topical Cream can significantly improve the appearance of acne-prone skin. For optimal results, the cream should be applied to the affected area twice daily for a minimum of two weeks.

Beyond acne treatment, Azelaic Acid 1%/Progesterone 1% Topical Cream is also effective in managing other skin conditions such as rosacea, melasma, and hyperpigmentation. By reducing inflammation and redness, this cream can help diminish the visibility of these conditions. Similar to acne treatment, the cream should be applied to the affected area twice daily for at least two weeks to see the full effects.
