Faqs

1. How does Skinoren cream work?

Skinoren cream contains azelaic acid as its active ingredient, a natural substance that treats acne in two ways:

1. Inhibiting keratin surface skin cells: the skin naturally produces sebum (oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands) which mixes with keratin cells; this mixture may block pores, leading to the appearance of dark spots. Skinoren cream works to stop the growth of keratin cells, thereby reducing the formation of pore-blocking plugs.
2. Killing the acne-causing bacteria: bacteria known as propionibacterium may promote the production of fatty acids and waste products, which irritate the sebaceous glands. This results in inflamed, infected sebaceous glands that worsen the acne. Skinoren cream helps in killing these bacteria, minimizing the probability of sebaceous gland inflammation and promoting the formation of a healthy skin barrier.

2. How long does Skinoren cream take to work and remove acne?

With consistent use of Skinoren cream, it may take about 4 – 8 weeks for most people to see improvement in their acne. However, the duration mainly depends on the skin type, severity of acne, and other factors, such as diet. We recommend using it regularly for optimal results.

3. What does Skinoren cream contain?

Skinoren cream contains the following ingredients:

1. Azelaic acid
2. Arlatone
3. Cutina CBS
4. Cetearyl octanoate
5. Propylene glycol
6. Glycerol
7. Benzoic acid
8. Purified water

In case of a severe or unusual reaction after application, please wash off the cream immediately and visit your nearest clinic/hospital.

4. Can I use Skinoren cream to lighten my skin tone/become fairer?

Skinoren contains Azelaic acid, which may decrease the production of melanin, a natural pigment that gives color to the skin. Therefore, it may be used for treating hyperpigmentation and dark underarms. Please consult your doctor before using Skinoren to lighten skin tone.

5. How to use Skinoren cream
