Skinoren

Contains azelaic acid, which inhibits the growth of the Propionibacteria involved in the development of acne and the production of acne-promoting fatty acids. Azelaic acid also reduces the multiplication and keratinisation of keratinocytes, and therefore restricts the formation of comedones.

Solaraze 3% Gel

An NSAID gel for actinic keratosis containing 3% diclofenac.

Soolantra

Ivermectin is a member of the avermectin class. Avermectin has anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting lipopolysaccharide-induced production of inflammatory cytokines. Anti-inflammatory properties of cutaneous ivermectin have been observed in animal models of skin inflammation. Ivermectin also causes death of parasites, primarily through binding selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride channels, which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. The mechanism of action of Soolantra in treating the inflammatory lesions of rosacea is not known but may be linked to anti-inflammatory effects of ivermectin as well as causing the death of Demodex mites that have been reported to be a factor in inflammation of the skin

Sorbaderm Barrier Cream

Sorbaderm Barrier Cream

White concentrated cream that provides the skin with protection from body fluids. Also protects dry, chafed, red or irritated skin by moisturising the skin and providing a long-lasting barrier. Use still allows adhesive products to stick to the skin.
