Apply Skinoren cream 2 times a day (morning and evening) to the affected areas of the skin and rub in gently with massaging movements. Approximately 2.5 cm of cream is enough for the entire face.

The duration of the course of treatment may vary depending on the individual course of the disease and is determined by the degree of its severity.

To achieve optimal results, it is recommended to use Skinoren® continuously for several months. There is clinical experience with continuous use of the drug for a period of up to 1 year. In patients with acne, noticeable improvement is usually observed after about 4 weeks.

For external use only.

Do not allow Skinoren® cream to get into the eyes, mouth or mucous membranes. If the cream accidentally gets into the eyes, mouth and/or mucous membranes, rinse them immediately with plenty of water. If eye irritation persists, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Wash your hands after each application of Skinoren® cream.

Concomitant use of cosmetic products, alcoholic or aggressive skin cleansers, tinctures, astringents or abrasives, or exfoliants should be limited during treatment as much as possible.
