About

A vitamin C derivative combining two ascorbic acid units with azelaic acid for enhanced stability and skin benefits.

Diascorbyl azelate is a diester formed from two molecules of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and one molecule of azelaic acid (a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid). This structure provides improved stability compared to pure ascorbic acid while delivering vitamin C benefits. Ascorbyl derivatives are extensively used in cosmetics for their antioxidant and brightening properties. Azelaic acid itself is used for acne and pigmentation. No EU restrictions apply.
