What is Skinoren Cream?

Skinoren Cream is a topical preparation whose active ingredient is azelaic acid at 20%. It is applied to acne-affected areas of the skin and is cortisone-free, which makes it suitable for extended courses of treatment under medical supervision.

How does Skinoren work?

Azelaic acid has a dual mode of action: it reduces the excessive growth of keratin cells that block pores and sebaceous glands, and at the same time reduces the acne-associated bacteria living on the skin surface.
