Skinoren cream is an effective medicine for the treatment of acne that contains the active medicine Azelaic acid, 20%. Therefore, it is also called Skinoren 20 cream. Your skin doctor will give you a prescription. You may buy Skinoren from an online pharmacy.

Skinoren is an acne cream that reduces the redness and swelling associated with acne. Acne is a common skin problem among teenagers. When tiny holes on your face skin get blocked, it causes inflammation and infection by the acne-causing bacteria. Skinoren being an anti-infective and anti-inflammatory helps to reduce acne.

Skinoren is highly effective in reducing acne-associated redness, pain, and inflammation. The topical application of Skinoren starts exhibiting positive results within a month of its usage, depending on compliance and consistency in its usage. Skinoren acne cream is very gentle on the skin and does not cause irritation. Unlike other acne medicines, Skinoren cream won’t make your skin sensitive to light.

Skinoren contains Azelaic acid. This functional medicine kills the bacteria called Propionibacterium acne. When tiny pores on your skin get blocked by dead skin, skin secretions (sebum) cannot come out. It makes the environment favourable for the growth of bacteria that causes swelling and pus. Azelaic acid breaks down the dead skin and also kills the acne-causing bacteria.

Apply Skinoren acne cream on the affected part of your face and neck. Massage it gently till the cream gets absorbed into the skin. Use the cream, twice a day, morning and evening. If your skin is delicate and sensitive, your skin doctor will advise you to use it once a day. You will notice an improvement in your skin within a month’s treatment.

There are no side effects reported. Skinoren contains Azelaic acid which is a natural ingredient found in wheat and barley. So, it is very safe for use, even if you have gluten sensitivity. Although in some rare cases, you may experience mild dryness or itching of the skin.

There are no reported incompatibilities of Azelaic acid with other drugs used for skin treatment. However, it is always a good idea to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about any concomitant usage of other medicine.
