PAD (Potassium azelolyl diglicinate)
INCI Name: Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD)
Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, commonly known as PAD, is a water-soluble derivative of azelaic acid with unique skin-benefiting properties. In cosmetics, it is valued for its ability to reduce excess sebum, helping to control oiliness and improve the appearance of acne-prone skin.
PAD also has brightening effects, as it can inhibit melanin production, which helps to fade dark spots and even out skin tone. Additionally, it provides hydration and can help improve skin elasticity, making it suitable for anti-aging formulations.
