CDF Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD) is a high-purity, multifunctional brightening and oil-balancing active derived from azelaic acid. More stable and significantly gentler than free azelaic acid, PAD visibly improves skin radiance, helps regulate excess oil, refines the look of pores, and supports an even, balanced complexion. Its excellent water solubility makes it ideal for modern serums, toners, gels, and lightweight emulsions.
