"This has been a lifesaver for my cystic acne and rosacea. It cleared up the cystic acne along my jaw line and while it didn't cure my Rosacea, it has gotten demonstrably better. I tried everything prior to this, including medication and this is the only thing that has worked. I have been using it for over three years. I took a break last summer to see if I could go without and in less than a month I was flushed bright red and in less than two months the cystic acne was back."

"What i like about finacea over soolantra is that you can apply it only to the areas that need it (soolantra really has to be applied all over, otherwise the mites just relocate). I find that 2 x a day finacea all over face can make the more sensitive areas of my face (chin for me) more red. It does a great job of clearing up pustules, though. Also, very little purging (3-4 days for me). Works much better than metrogel. I used it for 6 months but stopped because i felt like it made the little red veins more visible after a while. Now i am 3 weeks into soolantra but it has drawn out so many more bumps... I may switch back. Also you can order this drug online from Australia. $28/ tube. Same as prescription med here in USA."

"I have never suffered with acne/rosea apart from stress related in my early 40's...I'm now 57 and it came back. I have slightly red skin with fatty type lumps under my eyes and down sides of nose and cheek.I went to the dr and he prescribed finacea 15 Worked immediately. My skin hasn't looked so clear in years. Would definitely recommend...slight tingling sensation but worth it for the results. Don't understand the huge price tag in the states..no doubt something political / financial...ridiculous."

"Been using this, tretinoin 0.05% and dapsone 5% and it has helped me with my acne and hyperpigmentation. What I like about Finacea is that it doesn't irritate my skin and helps with hyperpigmentation. 9/10"

"Finacea Foam, is what I have used over last 3 years. My Dermatologist had a small sample of the FOAM, he gave to me. I loved it ! That small container lasted about a year. Now I have refilled a slightly Larger 50gram Foam 15% ease of use, easy to apply & spread, & whatever it touches it seems to disappear. Raised bumps also dissapear as well as rosacea. Im 63 y.o. male. It is very effective, just shake it & push button Softly, & spread on skin. I like the way I can spread a lite/thin layer & do it again 12 hours later. After about the 2nd application its clearing up, by 3rd application most blemish just disappears. 10 on a 1–10 scale Foam"

"Used it three days and on third day got so dizzy I had to lean on the wall and couldn't stand. It worked on the redness immediately so I was happy but the dizziness was extreme. I washed it off and after two hours the dizziness went away. I'm in my 60's and read somewhere a couple others had this problem with it. Also gave me tinnitus and hoping that goes away. I wish I had never tried this."

"Finacea, works but my skin got better before it got worse. Give it time. I only apply it at night and I try not to use a moisturizer. Peeling is normal for the first bit."

"I took Finacea for nine weeks and it has made my Rosacea worse. I have inflammation and pustules, along with burning and stinging sensations, which have increased considerably. It appears to work well for a lot of people, but like every other rosacea treatment, it’s not for everyone."
