Skinoren : Azelaic Acid (20%) Cream

I apply Skinoren once a day before bedtime. The first week I used this product, I experienced an initial breakout. I used it in conjunction with Eryacne. I didn't experience the stinging that so many other members have reported, though I do apply Skinoren over a light moisturizer which might help inhibit stinging. I've experienced no irritation or excessive drying. My skin seems to like Skinoren. Combining Eryacne and Skinoren is keeping my skin clear.

I have only been using Skinoren for four days. My doctor prescribed it along with a course of oral Clarithromycin. Since coming off the pill in December my skin has really broken out - I get a lot of whiteheads in particular. Tried using topical Clindamycin and that is OK but not amazing. Was contemplating Retin-A but am going to give this a go first. As other posters say, it does itch and sting when you first put it on. Makes me want to rub my face a lot and is hard to stop myself! I have already noticed fewer spots but I am still getting some whiteheads so I still have a way to go. I have been using it on my neck and chest too and my neck it quite red, like i have mild sunburn, hope that goes away. My chest area seems to be more stubborn as the spots are still there and show no sign of going. I really hope it works over the next few weeks

it really gets rid of stubborn acne

my friend recommended differin to me a couple of months ago and i gave it a try. and it worked quite well: it got rid of my pimples in just 3 days but my PIHs (small red and brown marks left after pimple disappeared)are still visible although differin kinda like 'bleached' it a bit. i ran out of that cream so i went to the pharmacy to get another one and i asked the lady about any other meds she knows that can fade my marks away. and that was when i first heard of SKINOREN. the lady said it helps alot with those red spots and can treat pimples too. so i bought it. the first time i used it, it itched my skin but i think it'll b okay after my skin is used to it. i kinda c some improvement after 3 days but not as huge as what differin has done to my pimples. BUT, after a few weeks, IT DID FADED MY MARKS AWAY!! i was so happy, finally those stupid marks are going away. it does get rid of pimples but takes a longer time. like the pharmacist said, it works more for the marks. try it!!!

I see a difference.I see the pimples are smaller and dry in the morning.Im starting my 2nd week today.My derm said it will help will the scars as i have dark skin.My dermatologist has put me on a 6 months program.im taking Minerva-35 as well.The combination seems to be really working.Will keep u updated in 3 months.

I usually break out ALL THE TIME and i used to have a skin routine consisting of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing every single day and i would be in the bathroom for 45 minutes just so a pimple wouldn't pop on my face! Now i've been using skinoren on its own for just 2 weeks and I haven't broken out AT ALL! Sure, no major improvements in the scars, but that comes later! Im just glad I don't get any kind of blemishes anymore.

Try it! I Am an African American female with mild-moderate acne.

definitely worth a try! IT's cost effective and it works better than any other acne treatment I have tried

your acne itches, but i saw it as a signed of it working. and in a while, it sure did. i cleared up fine and got my selfesteem back.

This is the 4th week I've been on the cream. At first I didn't see a lot of improvement but now it is beginning to show slowly. It leaves skin feeling really soft and with no irritation for me anyway. Inflamed pimples under the skin are well down after 2 applications. It has slightly faded some hyperpigmentation..however it is said around 6 months are needed to benefit from it. Here's to hoping! 4 stars as I'm awaiting more results as it states.
