Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate

The details

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD) comes from the condensation of azelaic acid mixed with glycine . This ingredient has similar properties to azelaic acid; it can help reduce sebum production and soothe skin. PAD also inhibits tyrosinase activity to help brighten skin. Tyrosinase is an enzyme that controls melanin production. A study from 2023 found 5% PAD combined with nicotinamide (a form of niacin ) effectively reduced melanin production after 6 weeks. Several studies from the 2010's also show PAD to be effective in alleviating symptoms of Rosacea. Though this ingredient is considered a gentle active, higher amounts may result in irritation. Unlike azelaic acid, this ingredient is water-soluble. This property makes it easier to formulate into skincare products.
