This formula uses a new-generation water-soluble form called Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD) that has similar properties to Azelaic Acid, but enables a super-light, oil-free texture. The two strong points of PAD are to even the skin tone and to control excessive oiliness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our formula we are using 20% Azeclair, a solution containing \u003ci\u003e6% pure Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD)\u003c\/i\u003e. While 6% might not sound like a high number, when it comes to PAD, it is an outstanding amount. The molecule is effective already and typically used at 1-3%. Studies done by the ingredient’s manufacturer show that 3% PAD (or 10% Azeclair) is an effective amount in normalizing oil production and evening the skin tone, while a study published in the Journal of Dermatological Treatment used 5% PAD for the management of rosacea. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeek tip: Based on our experience, those who are sensitive to niacinamide tend to find aPAD an especially helpful addition to their skincare routine.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"gg-label\"\u003ewho is it for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gg-shopify-common-color\"\u003eaPAD is ideal if you are looking for an Azelaic Acid product that is also light in texture and layers well with other products.
