Abstract Azelaic acid (AA), a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid, is used extensively to treat acne and rosacea because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. The objective of this study was to create and validate a straightforward, reliable, and accurate RP-HPLC method for the measurement of AA in bulk and a novel cubosome formulation. Key chromatographic parameters, including the mobile phase composition (50:50 v/v of 0.5% formic acid: acetonitrile), flow rate (1 mL/min), and detection wavelength (210 nm), were chosen to produce the best retention time and resolution. The procedure was optimised using a Box-Behnken Design. The technique showed good accuracy (97–99% recovery), precision (%RSD < 2%), linearity (2–10 µg/mL, R2 = 0.995), and sensitivity (LOD: 1.521 µg/mL; LOQ: 3.342 µg/mL). Studies of forced deterioration under varied stress settings were used to establish stability-indicating capabilities. The verified technique was then used to measure AA in cubosomes, demonstrating favourable particle size (185 nm), zeta potential (-14.36 mV), and good drug entrapment effectiveness (92.4%). This HPLC approach provides a dependable tool for quality control and stability assessment of AA-based medicinal systems and is efficient for routine analysis of AA in pharmaceutical research and formulation development.
