"For the last year I've had rosacea mostly on the tip of my nose. I'm 42 and prior to this I've had basically flawless skin. The tip of my nose became red, flakey and extreme oily it was an extremely stressful time. I tried everything natural and nothing works. I tried the jel and even first day I noticed a slight improvement and way less oily in the morning the 2nd day was even better. I'm on the 3 day and already the redness is starting to fade."

"Realised I had Rosacea after speaking to my dad who was recently diagnosed. I thought I had adult acne (I’m 37). I would say it is mild as it’s only on 1 of my cheeks but it didn’t look good under makeup. I have been using this for 1 week and the effect has been miraculous. My skin on my cheek is completely clear of the rosacea which is amazing. I wish I would have found this 2 years ago."

"I am only on my second day and already see improvement. I hope it keeps working as well as it is now. BTW...I eat a keto diet and my rosacea was very mild to none after I started my keto diet 7 months ago. I recently went off keto and after just a few days my rosacea blew up really worse than ever. I'm back on keto....I also had heartburn at least twice a week before keto. While on keto NO heartburn ever not once in 7 months! If you have rosacea look into a keto diet."

"I have mild rosacea. Though I do get pustules from many things! Mostly everything! I This was my first time using Metro and it caused new pustules to form on my face, particularly my forehead where I usually show my first sign of inflammation... and it’s not going well since I started it a week ago. I wait 20 minutes after washing my face, then another 20 before moisturizer. Maybe my face got too dry? My nose, which never gets bumps got a big red spot. So, alas, I’ll go back to just being gentle and not using anything. I thought this would be good at preventing future bumps and minimizing my pores, but I think the niacinamide they added to it is also a MAJOR trigger to many “rosaceans.”"

"First time I used it was six years ago when I had my first outbreak of rosacea. It worked fast and good. I stopped using it, because my skin was good. Now I am pregnant and from the beginning I had the worst rosacea outbreak. Lots of papules and pustules. I tried metronidazole for 3 weeks. It made my rosacea so much worse. I stopped!, So, doctor told me to keep using it for a bit longer to work. (which I found strange since last time it worked so fast). Still, I used it again for 5 weeks straight. My face is a big mess and even the bumps I had from the start are still there also, sometimes not inflamed, sometimes they get inflamed again. Even make-up looks horrible now. I only used it on my left cheek. My right cheek is so much better (but my rosacea also was better on right side from start). I think mine is hormone related now, am going to stop to see what happens. I guess I just need to go with this face till the baby comes and hormones get settled."

"So I've has acne on my cheeks and forehead since I turned 18. I have weird white acne bumps on areas of my face. I've tried SO many acne creams prescribed from doctors and I've never found anything that works. I've been using this for 3 weeks at night and maybe sometimes during the day. It has made no difference to my skin... makes it extremely oily in the morning and I haven’t seen any improvement. Praying for something to work someday."

"Didn't help with rosecea at all. Eyebrows broke out worse and continued to get worse with the use of metrogel. It made the itching more intense, redness more intense and bigger flakes. That was barely a week of use. Went back to the hydrocortisone just to get relief."

"I was told I had Rosacea and there is no cure it is genes and fair skin. I have researched for over 30 years my condition and found that sun shine plays a big part. I also found soaking in a tub helps. I find that Dermodex mites love humidity and a certain warm temperature range. I log my flare-ups. In AZ and PA my flare-ups were far less. In the Pacific NW, FL, and NC they were awful. I have been on multiple prescriptions and am now taking D-hist to lower my histamine and bought tea tree face scrub. Waiting on other tea tree products because the face scrub seems to be helping. Will let everyone know if the products work for me. Scabies creams are thought to help too as they kill mites."

"At 63 I saw a dermatologist in November of 2017 to check for skin cancer (found a precancerous spot). My face and ears get really red at times. I was told I also have Rosacea. After doing some research, I now know that certain foods, heat, alcohol, among other things trigger the redness. I was prescribed metronidazole topical and told to use it 2x daily. I also purchased Avene gentle cleanser and other products to help my condition. I have been pretty faithful in using these. I am also trying to watch what I eat or drink. At first this cream seemed to burn. It has gotten better. I am not getting as red as often. However my cheeks are almost always pink. I went to the dermatologist for a follow up this week. I was advised to continue to use metronidazole. I am giving it more time and hoping that this works."

Rozex (metronidazole) "I've suffered from rosacea since my mid-20s. I'm 31 now. Sometimes I think the cream is useless but if I don't use it for a few days my skin gets rapidly much worse. After around 2 days of using it, it settled again. You have to use this every day twice daily without fail if you want good relief. It reduces redness and dryness but it won't cure the condition."

Rozex (metronidazole) "After having good skin in my teens and 20s, I developed rosacea acne in my 30s. I tried all kinds of skincare products for sensitive skin and non-prescription rosacea creams, but none were effective. Rozex has been amazing. I have been using it twice daily as directed, and within a few weeks, it cleared up my skin problems by around 95% with no side effects. It has been working well for a few months now, but I don't know if my skin will return to its previous state when I stop using it!"

"I had major sudden breakouts. Within one hour of taking it, my face would get all red itchy, and break out with small pimples. After using this gel I can say it helps my flushes are not followed by pimples. I use it after I apply moisturizer."

Rozex (metronidazole) "I am using the cream. Worked great for me. Googled it when Doctor put me on it and reviews said condition would look worse before it got better. I never had acne even as a teenager but my face was full of small pus filled spots. That has all disappeared, still redness in the effected area but nothing like it was. Would highly recommend."

"I used the cream for six weeks, but my provider wanted me to use it for a longer period. There was confusion as to whether this was ongoing or just for a few months. Anyhow, it helped a bit with the redness on my cheek, but did not address the area around my eye. Also, the patches of keratin that peel under my eye showed no improvement, and it did not help with my swollen eye either. I also felt a bit off, perhaps dizzy or cloudy. It was disappointing, and six weeks was enough for me. Now, about a month later, my face has gotten progressively worse and is now worse than when I started using the cream. I would not recommend this product."
