Skinoren Cream (Azelaic Acid 20%)

Skinoren Cream is a prescription-strength topical treatment formulated with 20% azelaic acid. It is widely used to treat acne vulgaris by reducing inflammation, clearing clogged pores, and killing acne-causing bacteria. It also helps fade dark spots and uneven skin discoloration caused by blemishes (hyperpigmentation).

What It Is Used For

This medicine is prescribed for:

• Treating mild to moderate acne (pimples, spots, and blackheads)

• Improving rough skin texture and unclogging pores

• Reducing dark marks and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind by acne

Main Ingredients

• Azelaic Acid (20% w/w): A naturally occurring acid that fights acne-causing bacteria, stops dead skin cells from building up in pores, and calms skin inflammation.
