MetroCream (metronidazole) "Useful for rosacea that is not extremely out of control. If you have just a few pustules it can be helpful when used regularly."

Noritate (metronidazole) "It's great, doesn't help the infrequent redness but keeps the skin clear. for me, just when I notice the flare up until it subsides. The cost is exorbitant. $1800 a tube 60g."

"Used it twice a day for several months and it did nothing to help reduce the redness or bumps. It cost 80$ as well, and that was with 80 percent covered."

MetroGel (metronidazole) "I have found the Metrogel successfully reduces redness and pimples. It is important to wash the area with soap or another cleanser, dry the area and then put on Metrogel. Twice a day faithfully."
