For Rosacea "I am using this gel presently, but you have to be very patient. I am using it now for 5 days, and I can see a slight improvement. I used this gel previously, and it worked, but it took about 6 weeks to clear it up. I have had rosacea for 10 years, and I know from dealing with this that, for me, sugar and stress are two major contributors."

For Rosacea "I saw an advert for this gel and decided to try it for my mild redness and flushing rosacea. This product has caused my skin to react in a horrible fashion. My nose has become red and swollen with enlarged pores. Not only this, but I am starting to develop little 'warty' lumps on the fleshy part of my nose and adjoining cheek areas. I have discontinued using the Rozex gel and am using a soothing moisturizer in the hope that it will settle down. Can anyone recommend another product that will not have the same side effects?"

For Rosacea "I never had a pimple in my life, I could literally put any cream on my face. I'd be fine. I didn't need much makeup either, my face was super clear and glowing until 2 years ago when, for no reason, I developed a strange rash. Burning and itching was terrible. I thought it might be some allergic reaction to cosmetics, and after hundreds of dollars spent on different creams, I finally went to a doctor, and he diagnosed me with rosacea. He prescribed the cream, not the gel. At first, I was skeptical because I didn't know how I would manage not to use a daily moisturizer, but then this cream works as a moisturizer too, I literally didn't need anything else. Two weeks after, my face cleared up. Yes, the cream is expensive, but you only need a tiny amount, so it can literally last for months, it was so worth it. I'm still on it. I'm due to stop using it in a month, so I'll see how I go without it-fingers crossed. At least I know now how it works. This cream was a savior, I strongly recommend it!"

For Rosacea "I have been using this gel for just over a month now for my acne rosacea. I only have it on one cheek with lots of bumps. After using it for about 2 weeks, I’ve started seeing a great difference! No more acne, and the redness has reduced so much! My doctor said it would take about 2 months to see a proper change, but I’m already so happy with the result!"

For Rosacea "I have found that this cream improved my face redness, I only use it when I need to. I was told I had rosacea about 10 years ago after having relatively clear skin. I was about 60 years old and couldn't understand why I got pimples on my face. I probably should persevere more and use it for a longer period of time, as the rash returns, especially after I have eaten dark chocolate (which I love) or cheap chocolate. I find that the more expensive chocolate, like Lindt or Aldi chocs, aren't as bad. I think sugary food makes it break out. I try to avoid these products."

For Rosacea "Not impressed. After a week of use, it has given me small white pimples, usually two new ones per day. This is after spending hundreds of dollars on dermatologist appointments and other creams, and I was finally making progress with my rosacea. I am discontinuing use and will try antibiotics instead."

For Rosacea "I used Rozex for perioral dermatitis, this is a very irritating condition on my face. I was given the wrong treatment initially, which made the condition worse. I then spoke with a doctor who actually knew what he was doing, and he prescribed Rozex and a 4-8 week course of antibiotics. The Rozex cream worked almost instantly, reducing the redness and making it less irritating. Within a week, I could hardly see my dermatitis. A win for me."

For Rosacea "I went to the doctor about a couple of small but persistent blemishes on my face. I was prescribed Rozex, which is an expensive product: $50 for a small tube. I applied it on my face. The next day, I had broken out in disgusting red, oily lumps all over my face. They burn and are extremely uncomfortable. I look in the mirror and can’t believe what I’m seeing. I’m a 41-year-old male, and I’ve never had anything like this happen to me. I'm going to see another doctor today to find out what’s going on. Terrible, terrible product."

For Rosacea "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!"

For Rosacea "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."

For Rosacea "After only 1 week applying the gel on my nose and cheeks, I have an upper respiratory problem, runny nose, and feel horrible. One week. My cheeks burned and itched. I am a nurse and will NEVER use this gel again. My doctor's response was nil...so much for medical professionals understanding side effects of meds they prescribe. Runny nose, watery eyes, upper respiratory discomfort. This product is HORRIBLE. And, why must I accept the Drugs.com Terms and Conditions?"

For Rosacea "I am using the cream. Worked great for me. Googled it when the doctor put me on it, and reviews said the 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 affected area but nothing like it was. Would highly recommend."

For Rosacea "My experience with Rozex is somewhat of a love-hate one. I was originally provided with it for my rosacea years ago, and when I used it on my cheeks, it instantly made my face way worse. I recently had a terrible outbreak on my forehead from eating chocolate, of all things, with acne-like spots and ultra redness. I started applying Soolantra. This again appeared to be irritating it. However, I used Rozex in the morning and then Soolantra throughout the day, and after two days, my face is almost cleared. Super result and surprising, considering in the past it irritated my rosacea on my cheeks, yet on my forehead, it has nearly cleared it completely in two days."

For Rosacea "When I first looked at the reviews for Rozex, I was terrified because so many of them said it made their condition worse. Until someone reminded me that happy people don't usually write reviews. So, I wanted to write a good one. I have acne rosacea, so about 5 minutes after I take a sip of red wine, I break out in huge bumps that last for weeks. I'm a 20-year-old in Ireland, so obviously the idea of never drinking again was troubling, but so was the thought of having horrible acne after so many years of nice skin. I started Rozex a few months ago, and the effects came in somewhat slowly (maybe a month or two), but now it works amazingly. I don't even worry about it anymore. I can go on a huge night out and wake up with great skin."
