What the science says
Azelaic acid has strong evidence for acne, where most studies found it cleared breakouts better than a placebo and about as well as tretinoin 1. It also has strong evidence for rosacea, with many studies showing fewer spots and less redness, though it did not seem to help visible blood vessels 2. For dark spots and patches, azelaic acid has some evidence, mainly for melasma, where it often lightened patches better than a placebo 3.
