This unique formulation is dispensed in a foamer bottle, which transforms into a lightweight, easily spreadable foam upon dispensing. This innovative delivery system ensures efficient coverage and absorption of the active ingredients, enhancing their therapeutic efficacy.

The formulation combines Azelaic Acid, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid, and Minoxidil, a potent vasodilator.

Minoxidil, on the other hand, is primarily used to treat androgenic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. It functions by increasing the blood flow to the scalp, thereby stimulating hair growth. This combination of active ingredients in our formulation provides an effective treatment for a variety of skin conditions.

The ease of application of this topical foam formulation allows for direct application to the affected area, making it a user-friendly solution for skin condition management.
