Very little information is available regarding Potassium Azelaoyl Diglycinate, although it does appear as an ingredient in a large number of acne treatments and formulas, and is derived from Azelaic Acid, a known acne fighter. Azelaic Acid has anti-acne and bleaching properties, and to a lesser extent, it serves as a treatment for Rosacea. It acts as an anti-bacterial and keratolytic, returning any skin abnormalities back to normal.

Safety Measures/Side Effects:

No information was available regarding safety measures regarding the use of Potassium Azelaoyl Diglycinate. The Cosmetics Database listed it only as an unknown with data gaps. No studies were found to warn of any harmful side effects. However, because it is derived from Azelaic Acid, the same stinging and burning sensations associated with this ingredient may occur, but normally subside over time.
