Formulation view 15% azelaic acid gel using crosspolymer for viscosity and NMP for solubility. Squalane and dimethicone are added to buffer the feel and reduce irritation from the high acid concentration. Benzoic acid preserves, while EDTA chelates metals. Suitable for skin seeking oil control and spot reduction. Note: High-concentration actives require a tolerant skin barrier; initial stinging is common during the acclimatization phase.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Azelaic Acid
- Acne and pigment agent; 15-20% can be irritating, needs controlled release or lower doses.
- Propylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant at 3-10%; hygroscopic, slight tackiness, mild irritation at high conc., verify preservative efficacy, no allergen.
- Methyl Pyrrolidone
- Not decoded yet
- Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
- Crosspolymer for thickening/film; needs neutralization to pH 7-8 to hydrate, check ion strength.
- Ceteareth-20
- Not decoded yet
- Squalane
- Emollient from plants or synthetic; light texture
- Dimethicone
- Silicone occlusive at 1–5%; provides smooth feel, non-penetrating, suitable for sensitive skin
- Sodium Hydroxide
- Strong base neutralizer for pH adjustment; handle with extreme care
- Benzoic Acid
- Preservative and pH adjuster at 0.1–0.5%; low water solubility, best in acidic media, irritant at high levels.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
