Skinoren (Azelaic acid)

Skinoren contains azelaic acid, a powerful ingredient that can support acne and rosacea symptoms. It works by:

Killing bacteria that contribute to acne.

Reducing inflammation.

Unclogging pores.

Reducing dark spots.

You can combine Skinoren with other acne treatments such as oral antibiotic acne treatments, but Skinoren should not be used alongside any other acne creams as it may cause excessive skin dryness or skin irritation.

Redness and irritation of the treated area can occur when you use Skinoren Cream for the first time. This is not usually serious and subsides typically within a week.

During this time, reduce the frequency application to once daily to allow your skin to recover and then slowly build up to using it twice daily.
