"Works pretty well for my perioral dermatitis, but I should have seen a doctor sooner. It's been resistant to the medicine, but is slowly healing. Definitely have the metallic taste in my mouth from it, and a bit of intestinal discomfort."

"As for the redness, soreness, I find no improvement, but it helped make the area more moist. I was really hoping this erratic condition would calm down. Taking Oracea and, in the past, Locoid is not working either."

"I don't have money to chuck away, being a single mum. Used $47 from our grocery money to try and clear this mess up on my face. It is bad, I may as well squirt it down the plug. It does not work. I had it prescribed years ago for rosacea, it didn't work then either, so they changed the script name and I didn't see the box until I opened the bag from the chemist."
