For Rosacea "I have severe rosacea that got worse after I had my son. I am taking doxycycline & using a medicated face wash and a cream. They have helped immensely but I still have residual redness. I told my derm I notice a lot of capillaries. So since we were doing telemedicine because of Covid, she prescribed me Rhofade (short of laser in the office). She said it’s like “visine for the face”. First day I noticed a difference. That was the day before yesterday. My skin seemed ....tighter? My pores were tighter. It helped slightly with the redness but didn’t effect some of the bigger capillaries. I didn’t use yesterday. I used today, put it on this morning. About 3 My cheeks just under my cheek bones started tingling....almost feels like the beginning of a facial twitch but it doesn’t actually twitch. I showered and washed my face and it’s continuing. I don’t see a big enough effect on my redness to deal with this tingling. My face also feels hot. This cream is not working for me."

For Rosacea "I went to my derm for mild face redness, I’ve had mild rosacea for years. Sometimes it flares up and I wanted something to control the bad times. This product has made my skin SO MUCH WORSE!! It’s 10X worse than it was and I’ve only been using it a few days. After reading the reviews I realized it’s a common side effect. I’m glad this product has worked for some, I was not one of them. Now I have to wait to see if this redness calms down. I’ll never I’d it again!"

For Rosacea "Yeah please don’t use this stuff! I went in to a dermatologist for problems on my left cheek. He gave me faith that Rhofade used with Soolantra would improve everything drastically. First day I used Rhofade it helped with the redness. But continuing use 3 days later my face became angry, inflamed, my other cheek (which had no problems to begin with) now looks as bad as the other. Constant itching burning & tingling. I wanna claw my face off!! Not to mention I have a welt by my upper cheek bone. I went and got some aloe, so we will see if that helps cool everything. But yoooooo! PLEASE DON’T USE THIS!"

For Rosacea "I used Rhofade for a few days and it immediately became apparent that my skin became much worse, redder and burning. I would not recommend this product at all. After discontinuing use and returning to regular hygiene routines my skin returned to normal, albeit with mild rosacea."

For Rosacea "Used on and off for about 1.5 months. I stopped once I noticed more frequent, although mild, flushing (which I used to rarely get) after the first month. It seems like a much milder and more effective version of Mirvaso, but going forward I'll probably save it for special occasions rather than using it semi-regularly."

For Rosacea "This is a horrible product and should be recalled - I had a very minor rosacea problem with two patches of redness on my checks. I used this for one week and it worked fine - but then the second week it made my face a living hell with bumps and itching - the area infected increased to three times the size. I stopped using it and now using something different from a different doctor. DO NOT USE IT!!!"

For Rosacea "This is an absolutely terrible medication. It made my rosacea so, so, so, so much worse and caused acne and rosacea bumps that I've never had before after only about 5 days of use. My face feels like it is on fire now even though I have discontinued this medication. I am constantly red. Everything is so much worse than before I started this."

For Rosacea "I have used this product for three days and my mild redness turned extremely red and developed pimples. Package claims one should call doctor if condition worsens. This product is designed to reduce dilation of blood vessels and it appears the opposite occurred."

For Rosacea "DO NOT use this product. Heed the other reviews. My derm prescribed this for some moderate flushing and honestly I wish I'd just dealt with the redness, because now my skin is covered in bumps and pustules. I stopped using and pray for a rebound. Seriously my skin was basically clear apart from redness before using this product, and now it's bumpier than even during my teenage years. I pray for a speedy recovery..."

For Rosacea "My rosacea is solely just persistent redness with flushing. I previously tried Mirvaso, which causes terrible blotchines and rebound redness. My Dermatologist prescribed Rhofade a few days ago. A few hours after application I began noticing paresthesia (tingling & pins/needles) in my cheeks. This is not a reported side effect. On day 3 my face had multiple acne like red bumps on my cheeks and forehead!!! I haven’t had acne this bad since puberty, and have never had acne on my cheeks. I skipped my dose this morning and had very slight rebound - nothing I was concerned about. I do like that it doesn’t really cause rebound, but I hate the tingling and new bumps. I’m going to use it every other day and see if my skin gets used to it. I think the cream makes my face noticeable less red and I have some reduced flushing. My normal skin routing includes hydro boost gel-cream extra dry skin, and the Rodan & Field smooth regimen."

For Rosacea "PLEASE DO A SPOT TEST WITH THIS! DO NOT USE IT OVER YOUR ENTIRE FACE TO START! Absolutely TERRIBLE. I used it twice and had the most terrible rebound redness. Burning, stinging, itching, you name it! It turned my face so red that I almost turned purple/red. Thankfully, I only tested it on one tiny part of my face. The rash went away after I went to sleep so hopefully, it will stay that way."

For Rosacea "I have mild to moderate rosacea. My doctor made this sound like it was such a great cream to treat rosacea and she's never had any patients have a bad reaction to it. She gave me a sample and a prescription. I had the same awful reaction to it as other reviewers, after the first use. I got huge red bumps (similar to pimples) on my face. I used it a second time and it got worse so I threw it in the trash. Thank goodness I did not buy this expensive product."

For Rosacea "I wish I'd read these reviews before using Rhofade. It seemed to help my symptoms for a few days, but then I started having intense, burning facial flushing daily (and still do, even though it's been months since then). Rhofade rebound is real and miserable."

For Rosacea "This medicine is everything I have been looking for. I never thought that I would find a solution to my redness that comes when I’m hot, embarrassed, flustered, etc. THIS IS IT! I can’t say that enough. The first day I used it it was wonderful, then it was about a 2 week period of annoyance before it finally started to work properly. It’s been 7 months since the first time I put it on and every single day I can count on having a clear face that’s the color of my skin (even when I’m flustered, hot, embarrassed, etc) My only problem was redness; I didn’t have pimples so I can’t speak to that. If your problem is redness like mine- TRY THIS and stick with it."

For Rosacea "Rhofade has not worked for me, in fact I am beginning to wonder if it is worsening my condition. I have mild rosacea, no bumps, but redness especially exacerbated by exercise and caffeine and alcohol. I am sorry to say, it has not helped my “flush” that occurs with any of these triggers. I have used the product for 4 months..."

For Rosacea "Same as other reviews, tried Rhofade for mild redness due to Rosacea. After only a few days of use, face started burning, redness increased, overall bumpy texture plus acne. I wish I’d have googled reviews before use (lesson learned), but blindly trusted my dermatologist. I wondered if it was a coincidence and something else was the trigger, but too many reviews sound exactly like my experience for that to be the case."

For Rosacea "I have mild rosacea and have not had bumps for about a year after I started using metro cream. I went to the dermatologist to see if I could get a cream that would help the redness go down. I used it once and saw a significant difference but as soon as I used it a second time the next day my face burned and I got red bumps! Do not use if your rosacea is mild and you don’t have any bumps! Horrible product :("

For Rosacea "God I wish I would have read the reviews on this cream before I bought it. Before using this product, my rosacea was mild. I would have a flair up either due to heat or if I drank alcohol. A few days of using the cream, my rosacea was clearing up. It was a miracle! AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN throughout the week my face became hot, beat red with pustules all over my face. My face has been like this for about a week now and I stopped putting the cream on. I’m very upset that my dermatologist did not tell me the side effects of this product. DO NOT USE PLEASE."

For Rosacea "I experienced extreme tingling all over my face that was very uncomfortable after using Rhofade. I waited a week and re-tried with the same response. It felt like little electric currents all over my face. Use with caution!"

For Rosacea "This was prescribed to me by a Dr from Associates in Dermatology in Chesterfield Mo. I specifically asked her if it caused a rebound effect like mirvaso and she said no. Well now I know that it does. It's basically the same thing as Mirvaso but maybe worse. It's been several months and I'm still dealing with the rebound redness and burning."

For Rosacea "I went to the dermatologist complaining of minor acne and some facial redness. I was told to use aczone and retin - both were fine. My derm insisted I try rhofade, claiming it was the new "miracle" cream for rosacea patients. I was so hesitant after reading all of these terrible reviews that I decided not to use it then. I went back for a follow up and again she was insisting I NEEDED to use this, it works wonders!!! I used rhofade for 3 days.... that's it. That was 4 weeks ago and since then I've been through the worse with my skin. Every square inch of my face is covered in red and white bumps!!! I've been on prednisone, a topical steroid, a topical antibiotic, an oral antibiotic for one month (still on), and now something called elidel. I am still trying to recover and this week the rash came back WORSE THAN EVER. So bad that I cannot go into work this week. If there is anything you take from this review - please DO NOT USE RHOFADE. Despite what your dermatologist tells you."

For Rosacea "Never ever use Rhofade! My dermatologist saw me one time and recommended it. I used it for three days and my skin is red as a tomato and all inflamed and raw. My Rosacea was hardly noticeable and very minor before I started using this stuff."

For Rosacea "I'm sad to see that others haven't had a good experience with this topical, because this is the ONLY medication that finally got rid of most of the redness from rosacea on a daily basis. I will say that it took a few months to begin seeing the desired results (in combination with doxycycline for first 3 months) and in my experience the redness increases slightly in the few minutes after applying, but it WILL fade significantly after an hour or two after application. Some derms may recommend to apply at night for this reason. I've been on this topical for at least 2 years and I have never had better skin in my adult life."

For Rosacea "I have been using rhofade for 7 months for redness and flushing and I love it. I did not have any issues with bumps or anything. I did notice at first I had some small areas that would be a brighter red than the rest of my face when I did not use the cream. But I have been taking pictures of my face to compare and actually my face is way less red than usual even when I don’t use it. So the brighter red areas were actually the little areas that did not get lighter. I would not have realized this if I was not using pictures to track my skin. Now my skin on days I don’t use it is much less red. So I say over time this works to lessen the redness. But while it’s on your face it’s definitely not red at all for the whole day. Friday 6am applied before work still looking clear at 2am. The only bad side is the high cost of this cream. But it works very well for me I do not wear concealer or cover up at all I do use a light moisturizer 10 minutes prior to using rhofade. Not sure if that matters for bumps etc."

For Rosacea "I have rosacea and my face would always get severely red, bumps, feel like it was on fire and would have a stinging sensation. Rhofade, for me, has been a blessing. It is the only thing that completely takes away the redness and it works so fast. My dermatologist gave me samples and I was amazed by how wonderful this cream is. I’m saddened how many have bad side-effects or allergies to this because for me it was life changing and I can’t see myself without it. If I forget to put it on the redness does come back though. I really hope it isn’t expensive. I still have my samples and have been using for 2-3 months now."
