01 / How it works
Azelaic acid is a topical medicine that helps reduce acne-associated bacteria and abnormal keratinisation that can block pores. These actions can help with both comedonal and inflammatory acne when the medicine is used consistently and tolerated.
Azelaic acid 20% cream is an established topical acne treatment. Response is gradual and irritation can occur, so the doctor may adjust frequency, moisturiser use or the wider acne plan according to tolerance.

Realistic Expectations: Response varies with acne type, severity, skin tolerance, other treatments and adherence to the wider plan. Skinoren cannot guarantee complete acne clearance, scar removal or improvement of every acne concern. Some patients may need medicines, tests or specialist review.
Skinoren 20% Cream contains azelaic acid and is used for acne vulgaris. At Medi Clinic Johor Bahru, suitability is assessed according to acne type, severity, skin sensitivity, current products, medicines and medical history. It is not a cosmetic moisturiser or a guaranteed solution, and instructions should follow the product leaflet and clinician guidance.
Patients from Singapore and across Malaysia, including Taman Molek, Iskandar Puteri and Eco Botanic, may consult our doctor about blackheads, whiteheads, inflammatory spots or persistent mild-to-moderate acne. Skinoren does not replace assessment for severe, painful, rapidly worsening or scarring acne.
