What Is Skinoren?
Skinoren is a prescription-only cream that contains azelaic acid. It treats acne and certain types of rosacea. The cream works by killing bacteria, reducing swelling, and helping to unblock clogged pores.
What Is Skinoren Used For?
Skinoren is used to treat mild to moderate acne. It may:
- – Kill acne-causing bacteria
- – Reduce redness and swelling
- – Unblock pores and prevent new breakouts
- – Improve skin tone and texture
- – Help fade acne marks over time
Doctors also prescribe Skinoren for treating rosacea symptoms such as redness and visible bumps.
How Does Skinoren Work?
Skinoren contains azelaic acid, which kills bacteria that cause spots. It also stops new blockages from forming in the pores. At the same time, it reduces inflammation and helps fade leftover acne marks.
Used regularly, this treatment can reduce both active breakouts and long-term acne scarring.

You may notice mild tingling at first. This usually settles after a few days.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Some people experience the following when using this treatment:

These side effects are usually mild and improve with time. If irritation becomes severe, stop using the cream and speak to your doctor.
