Skinoren (Azelaic Acid) is an anti-acne agent. It is very effective against different types of skin conditions. On a parameter of 0-5, I rate this product at 4.
Azelaic acid is effective against a number of skin conditions when applied topically in a cream formation of 20 %. Azelaic acid is used in the treatment of acne. It displays bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties against a variety of aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms present on acne-bearing skin. It also affects the hornification process of the epidermal cells and is therefore able to exert a therapeutically positive effect on the formation of comedones (blackheads, whiteheads) which occur in acne.
Azelaic Acid is rated by its customers as being much better than Brevoxyl, Salicylic acid, benzonylperoxide, microdermabression, and Retin A. It is believed to reduce acne by almost 70 percent.
