Question 1

Can I use Skinoren with other acne creams like benzoyl peroxide?

Accepted Answer

It’s best to avoid applying them together as this can increase irritation. Your doctor may advise using one in the morning and Skinoren in the evening, or alternating days.

Question 2

What should I do if I forget to apply Skinoren?

Accepted Answer

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Do not double the amount to catch up.

Question 3

Can I use Skinoren during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Use only if clearly needed after consulting your doctor. Animal studies haven’t shown harm, but human data are limited. Your doctor will weigh the benefits against any potential risks.

Question 4

How long does a tube of Skinoren last?

Accepted Answer

A 30 g tube used twice daily on the full face typically lasts about 1 month. The exact duration depends on the area treated. Discard any remaining cream 6 months after first opening.

Question 5

Can I wear makeup after applying Skinoren?

Accepted Answer

Yes, wait a few minutes for the cream to absorb, then apply non‑comedogenic, oil‑free makeup. Avoid heavy foundations that may clog pores.
