A member asked:

Is skinoren effective prescription for acne and red pigmentation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Azeleic acid: Topical benzoyl peroxide is more time-tested. Azeleic acid / skinoren won't tough the post-inflammatory redness but may help control the disease. If it fails, as it is likely to do, get with your physician.
