Aziderm-20% Gel contains azelaic acid (20%), which impacts your body through several mechanisms:

• Antibacterial Action: Azelaic acid kills Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria primarily responsible for causing acne.

• Anti-Inflammatory Role: This component helps to reduce redness and swelling by suppressing the inflammatory pathways in your body.

• Keratolytic Effect: Azelaic acid normalises keratin production, thus helping to prevent pores from becoming blocked.

• Tyrosinase Inhibition: By inhibiting an enzyme called tyrosinase, azelaic acid may aid in preventing hyperpigmentation.

• Store Aziderm-20% Gel at room temperature below 25°C.

• Keep it far from direct heat sources and sunlight exposure.

• Do not refrigerate or freeze the gel.

• Confirm the tube is tightly closed when not in use.

• Always keep out of reach of children.

• Maintain good skin hygiene: Regularly cleanse your skin with a mild, non-drying soap to remove excess oil and dirt. Avoid scrubbing your face too hard as it can irritate your skin and worsen acne symptoms.

• Adopt a healthy diet: Consuming fresh fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help manage acne. Foods rich in zinc, vitamins A and E, and antioxidants can promote skin health. Try to avoid fried foods, sugary drinks, and high-dairy products as they may aggravate acne.
