MEDIDERMA® AZELAC® PEEL EXFOLIATING GEL

AZELAC PEEL EXFOLIATING GEL 100ml is a professional-use chemical peel formulated to treat rosacea, acne, hyperpigmentation, and other inflammatory skin conditions. It combines 20% azelaic acid, 4% lactic acid, and 2% silymarin extract (milk thistle) in a gel base for controlled and gradual skin penetration. This formulation delivers keratolytic, seboregulating, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant benefits.

Thanks to its gentle exfoliating profile and soothing botanical extracts, AZELAC PEEL is suitable for sensitive and redness-prone skin types. It improves skin tone, reduces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and minimizes sebum production, making it effective in treating melasma, folliculitis, and psoriasis, in addition to acne and rosacea.

This gel peel is applied by medical professionals under controlled conditions. It is recommended for short contact time (4–5 minutes), and optional additives can be mixed for personalized treatment.
