Skinoren Cream should be used in accordance with your prescriber's instructions.
Normally the cream is applied to the affected skin twice daily (morning and night). As a general guide 0.5g (approx. 2.5cm) of cream is sufficient to treat the entire facial area. Patients with sensitive skin should apply the cream once daily in the evenings for the first week before increasing up to twice daily.
Before applying the cream, the affected skin should be thoroughly washed with plain water and dried (a mild skin-cleansing agent can be used).
Depending on the severity of the condition, the duration of treatment will vary from patient to patient. Results are normally apparent after 4 weeks of use, with most patients requiring several months of treatment to achieve the best results.
