Product Description

Skinoren 20% Azelaic Acid Cream

Skinoren is a medicated topical cream containing 20% azelaic acid. It is used for acne and may also help improve the appearance of post-breakout marks and uneven pigmentation over time. This 30 g cream should be used consistently and according to the enclosed leaflet or a clinician’s directions.

Key Features

• Contains 20% azelaic acid.
• Suitable for acne-prone skin and discoloration concerns.
• Helps target clogged pores, blemishes, and the look of post-acne marks.
• Cream formula for facial use; may also be prescribed for acne on the chest or back.
• 30 g tube.

How to Use

1. Wash the treatment area with water or a mild cleanser, then dry the skin thoroughly.
2. Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area and rub in gently.
3. For the full face, the patient leaflet advises approximately 2.5 cm of cream, about 0.5 g, per application.
4. Unless a clinician directs otherwise, use twice daily, morning and evening.
5. If you have sensitive skin, begin once daily in the evening for the first week, then increase to twice daily if tolerated.
6. Wash hands after application.
7. Apply moisturizer if needed; during daytime, use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen after the cream has absorbed.

Regular use is important; improvement may be seen after about four weeks, though treatment is often continued for several months as directed.

Important Safety

• Use only as directed by your doctor, pharmacist, or product leaflet.
• Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, nostrils, and mucous membranes; rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs.
• Do not apply to broken, severely irritated, or sunburned skin.
• Mild stinging, burning, itching, dryness, redness, or peeling may occur, especially early in treatment. Reduce frequency or seek medical advice if symptoms are severe or persistent.
• Do not use larger amounts or apply more often than directed.
• Ask a clinician before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The American Academy of Dermatology notes azelaic acid is thought to be safe in pregnancy, but individual medical advice remains appropriate.
