Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies
Clinical Status Eligible for Online Treatment Recommended Pathway
Mild-to-moderate comedonal & inflammatory acne Yes Topical Azelaic Acid 15% gel (Skinoren) or Adapalene/BPO
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or darker skin types Yes Topical Azelaic Acid 15% gel (Skinoren)
Papulopustular rosacea Yes Topical Azelaic Acid 15% or topical compounded therapy
Severe nodulocystic or scarring acne No Referral to in-person dermatology for oral isotretinoin

Hi-Doctor's dermatology service is strictly topical. Patients with severe cystic lesions, deep scarring, or indications requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are referred to local in-person clinics.

What Skinoren actually does

Skinoren contains 15% azelaic acid, a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid. It addresses acne pathogenesis through distinct, evidence-based mechanisms:

  • Antibacterial action: Inhibits the growth of Cutibacterium acnes without triggering microbial resistance.
  • Comedolytic effect: Normalises epidermal keratinisation, clearing clogged pores and reducing microcomedone formation.
  • Anti-inflammatory: Scavenges reactive oxygen species to reduce redness and inflammatory papules.
  • Pigment control: Selectively inhibits hyperactive melanocytes (tyrosinase inhibition), treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation safely across deeper skin phototypes.

Doctors typically prescribe azelaic acid 15% gel for twice-daily application. Visible progress takes time; initial improvements often appear by week 4, but meaningful clinical change must be judged at 12 weeks of consistent use.

Side effects and when to stop

Skinoren is generally well tolerated because it does not cause systemic phototoxicity or significant absorption. However, local skin irritation can occur during the first few weeks of therapy.

  • Common transient effects: Mild stinging, burning, itching, or local dryness at the application site. These symptoms usually subside as the skin barrier adapts.
  • Minimising irritation: Apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser before or after application, or start with once-daily application before moving to twice daily.
  • When to stop: Discontinue use and message our medical team if you experience severe erythema, blistering, swelling, or signs of allergic contact dermatitis.
