This formulation combines Azelaic Acid at a concentration of 15% and Niacinamide at a concentration of 5% in a topical gel. The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed effectively into the skin for targeted treatment.

Azelaic Acid is a dicarboxylic acid that has been shown to be effective in treating mild to moderate acne by reducing the growth of bacteria in the follicles and decreasing the production of keratin, a natural substance that can lead to the development of acne. It also helps to reduce inflammation and redness associated with acne.

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3, is a potent antioxidant that has been shown to improve the skin's barrier function, reduce skin hyperpigmentation, decrease redness and blotchiness, and reduce the severity of fine lines. It also helps to regulate oil production, which can be beneficial for both dry and oily skin types.

Together, Azelaic Acid and Niacinamide work synergistically to treat a variety of skin conditions. The combination of these two ingredients can help to reduce the appearance of acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation, while also improving the overall texture and tone of the skin. This formulation is suitable for all skin types and can be used daily as part of a comprehensive skincare routine.

As with any skincare product, it is recommended to perform a patch test before using this formulation to ensure that it does not cause any adverse reactions. If you experience any irritation or discomfort, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare provider.

Azelaic Acid 15%/Niacinamide 5% Topical Gel is a specially compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in the treatment of conditions such as rosacea, acne, and hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, has anti-inflammatory effects on the skin and can improve the skin's barrier function, reduce skin hyperpigmentation, and decrease oil production, making it beneficial for conditions such as acne and rosacea.

While this formulation is generally well-tolerated, there are potential interactions that patients and prescribers should be aware of. Azelaic acid and niacinamide are both active ingredients that can cause skin irritation, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin or those who are using other topical treatments. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications and skin care products you are currently using to avoid potential interactions.

Concurrent use of azelaic acid with other skin treatments such as tretinoin, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide may increase the risk of skin irritation. If you are using any of these treatments, it is recommended to apply them at different times of the day to minimize the risk of irritation. For example, you could apply the azelaic acid/niacinamide gel in the morning and the other treatment at night.

Niacinamide can interact with certain medications when taken orally, but these interactions are less likely with topical use. However, if you are taking medications such as anticonvulsants, antituberculosis drugs, or high doses of vitamin A, it is important to inform your healthcare provider as these can interact with niacinamide.

It is also important to note that while niacinamide is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience a "niacin flush" - a temporary redness and warming of the skin - after application. This is not harmful and usually subsides within an hour. If you experience persistent or severe flushing, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider.

As with any medication, it is important to use this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If you experience any adverse reactions such as severe redness, burning, stinging, peeling, or unusual dryness of the skin, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
