Question 6

Does Skinoren (azelaic acid) remove tan?

Accepted Answer

Skinoren cream does not remove tan caused by sun exposure. However, it can help fade uneven pigmentation and dark spots left behind after sun damage or acne. It improves overall skin tone but won't reverse natural tanning.

Question 7

Is kojic acid or Skinoren (azelaic acid) better?

Accepted Answer

Both target pigmentation but work differently. Kojic acid is stronger for skin lightening, but may cause more irritation. Skinoren (azelaic acid) is a gentler option that also treats acne, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation. The better choice depends on your skin type and concerns, but Skinoren is often preferred for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
