THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Treatment of acne (acne vulgaris) in its various expressions,
characterised by the
presence of comedones, papules, pustules and small nodules.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Skinoren cream should be applied twice daily (morning and evening) to
the affected
skin areas and rubbed carefully into the skin. Approximately 2.5 cm of
cream is
sufficient for the entire facial area.
Method of administration
For cutaneous use
Before Skinoren cream is used, the skin must be carefully cleaned with
clear water and
dried. A mild skin cleanser can be used.
It is important to apply Skinoren cream regularly throughout the
entire treatment period.
For Skinoren cream, the duration of administration can vary
individually and is also
determined by the severity of the acne. A significant improvement in
the clinical picture
can generally be noted after about 4 weeks. To achieve optimum
results, Skinoren cream
should be used continuously over several months, if required. Clinical
experience has
been obtained with a continuous administration period of up to one
year.
Should

application

once
daily
or
to
discontinue

frequency
of
application must again be increased to twice daily and the treatment
continued
regularly once the symptoms of irritation have resolved.
