MacDerma™ AZA is a saturated dicarboxylic acid that exists as a white powder. It is commonly derived from natural ingredients such as wheat, rye, and barley. Azelaic acid can also come from the Malassezia furfur (also known as Pityrosporum ovale), which is a yeast that lives on normal skin. It is the bacterial degradation of nonanoic acid that yields azelaic acid.

MacDerma™ MA (DL-Mandelic Acid) is an alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA). Alpha hydroxy acids speed up the cellular turnover rate, ridding the skin of dead skill cells that enhance the natural creases in skin and dull the complexion. MacDerma™ MA is the largest aromatic AHA. Since it has a large molecular size it is less of an irritant, making it even more popular than glycolic acid in skin care. It is suitable for all skin types and complexions. view less
