"Skinoren is a versatile topical treatment. You can use Skinoren for acne, including all types ranging from mild to cystic acne. The key ingredient, azelaic acid benefits the skin in many ways. By using this product, you can experience fewer spots, less redness, and soothed and moisturised skin.
Another advantage is that you can use Skinoren cream for rosacea, a skin condition that shares similarities with acne. When using Skinoren, most people start to see their skin improve after a few weeks. However, on occasion, if patients do suffer irritation, we advise them to reduce the amount they apply or use only once a day.
There is also a similar product containing azelaic acid- Finacea gel. The main difference between Finacea gel and Skinoren cream is that Skinoren has a different strength of azelaic acid, making it a stronger treatment"

How does Skinoren Azelaic Acid work?
Skinoren azelaic acid is a cream-based product applied directly onto the skin. The active ingredient azelaic acid works in two ways- it reduces the growth of surface skin cells and kills the acne-causing bacteria. The reduction in bacteria leads to less skin inflammation and irritation. In addition, this product has other benefits, such as soothing and moisturising the skin. You can also use Skinoren for rosacea as well as acne scars.

Our Online Acne Clinic
Used for:
For the relief of mild to moderate acne of the facial area.
For the topical treatment of rosacea acne.
Instructions for use:
It should be applied to the affected areas of skin twice daily (mornings and evenings) and rubbed in gently. As a guide, 2.5 cm (approx. 0.5 g) of cream is sufficient for the entire facial area. If other areas of acne, in addition to the face, require treatment, for example, the chest and back, the amount of cream should be adjusted accordingly.
Patients with sensitive skin should be advised to use Skinoren only once a day (in the evening) for the first week of treatment and then proceed to twice daily applications.
Before Skinoren gel is applied, the skin should be thoroughly cleaned with plain water and dried. A mild skin-cleansing agent may be used.
The duration of use of Skinoren gel can vary from patient to patient and also depends on the severity of the acne. In general, a distinct improvement becomes apparent after about 4 weeks. To obtain the best results, Skinoren Cream should be used continuously over a period of several months
It is important to continue to use regularly over the entire period of treatment. However, in the event of intolerable skin irritation, the amount of cream per application should be reduced or the frequency of use, should be reduced to once a day until the irritation ceases. If required, treatment might have to be temporarily interrupted for a few days.
