How It Works
AzAc Forte 15% Cream blends two forms of azelaic acid with complementary active ingredients to deliver visible improvement in skin texture and tone.
-
Azelaic acid targets acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation and helps prevent future breakouts.
-
Azeloglycine supports sebum control and provides gentle hydration without heaviness.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) brightens post-inflammatory pigmentation, strengthens the skin barrier and evens the complexion.
Together, they balance oil production, clear pores and refine the surface of the skin.

FAQs
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
It can be, if introduced gradually. Start with every-other-night application and increase frequency once tolerated. Always patch test first.

Yes. This cream can be applied to any area affected by acne or excessive oil, including the back and décolletage.
Can I combine it with retinol or exfoliating acids?
Introduce AzAc Forte first and wait until your skin adapts before layering other actives. Always monitor for irritation.
