For Rosacea "I am having the same issues that others had reported. I have mild redness from rosacea. When I first put on the Rhofade, my face gets much redder initially, but then fades. I have noticed I have pimples now. I think I’ll stop using Rhofade to see if the pimples go away. I didn’t really think of these being caused by the Rhofade until I read that others were seeing pimples after using it."

For Rosacea "I asked my derm for the prescription for Rhofade. I used it for a few days and saw great results with redness, but after a few days, I developed several large pustules. I stopped using it, and things cleared up. I thought it could be a coincidence, so I started using it again a few months later. Well, same thing. Not a coincidence. I have two huge pustules on my nose. That's it. Done. I'm glad I went online for the coupon to pay no more than $50 for the tube. $49.78 wasted, but better than hundreds of dollars."

For Rosacea "I have been on Rhofade for 3 weeks now and was very skeptical at first because of these reviews, but I have to say it has worked great for me and brings my redness almost to normal. I use this in the morning and Soolantra before bed, and that has worked for me. Really happy about this product and glad I tried it."

For Rosacea "My dermatologist prescribed Rhofade for me. After reading the reviews, I was afraid to try it, but so far, it has worked well for me. If I get extremely hot, my face still turns red. I have had no breakouts so far. After the coupon I got expires, I will no longer be able to afford it though."

For Rosacea "Don't ever use it. I was a little red, and within 3 days of use, it's 100 times worse. My face dried out and is 10 times redder than it was before I started taking this. Maybe if I tried once and waited a week. But the directions say to use it each day. Never again."

For Rosacea "I was prescribed Rhofade for the flushing caused by my rosacea. Previously, I had smooth skin with no bumps, just redness. However, after using this medication for three days, my face feels like it's on fire. It has turned blood red, itches intensely, and I now have little bumps on both cheeks. This medication is absolutely horrible. I do not believe the extremely low percentage they claim for allergic reactions. Based on what I've read, the actual percentage must be much higher than what is disclosed to the public. I had high hopes that Rhofade would eliminate the rosy cheeks I had, but instead, I now look like my face has been burned. I strongly advise against using this medication; you will regret it."

For Rosacea "Awful product, do not use!!! Much like others here, after only a few days using Rhofade, my rosacea has gotten much, much worse! I now have pimples I’ve never had before, like a teenager with a face full of acne. Every spot that garbage touched is a red little bump. This product is an absolute waste of money, do not let your dermatologist prescribe it!"

For Rosacea "This is the same ingredient as Mirvaso. All they want is the people's money, they don't care for anybody. You don't want to see my face after this. Two creams. Thanks, Gardena, you have destroyed my life."

For Rosacea "I have previously managed my mild rosacea with metronidazole cream and Finacea cream (the latter with better results). My dermatologist prescribed Rhofade as lately I've been flushing more often. I did note immediate improvement in facial flushing, and I feel a slight tightening sensation to my skin when I would normally expect my face to flush (e.g., moving from cold to hot), but my face doesn't go red. However, a week after using Rhofade, I've broken out in pimples across my face, and my skin is also sore, so I will have to stop using Rhofade."

For Rosacea "Please do not use this product. I’m not sure why there are dermatologists recommending this product, I’m guessing the company probably paid them. I had mild rosacea and got two little samples to try on. I’m so grateful that I never picked up the full-size one at the pharmacy. I developed very bad flushing at night. I thought I had a cold or fever, so I kept drinking water until feeling sick and got sent to the ER. The rashes last for about a week. I went back to my doctor, and she told me about this rebound reaction. God, this cream is awful, please do not use it."

For Rosacea "I normally don't write reviews - and never before for a drug, but my skin is so red and inflamed, I felt I had to. The first week of using Rhofade was fine. I didn't see a big difference, but continued to use, thinking it may come in time. I have mild rosacea on my lower cheeks (only). I felt that my cheeks were more red in the mornings (prior to putting on the cream). I ended up putting the cream on the apples of my cheeks - as the redness had spread. Days went by, and the redness became more apparent. Yesterday, I was covering my cheeks and had a tiny amount of product left over on my fingertip. I spread a small circle on my forehead (no redness at all - completely pale white). It wasn't until mid-afternoon that I used the restroom and looked at my face. A small bright red circle was on my forehead. I was so embarrassed. This stuff is making me red. It's making my cheeks tingly. I'm so frustrated I am out the $50 and left with a worse face."

For Rosacea "Horrible reaction to this medication after 2-3 applications. Rosacea is super inflamed and looking worse than ever. I have stopped use, and I am hoping my azelaic acid will help calm it down in a couple of days."

For Rosacea "Thank you to everyone who shared their experience of Rhofade. I just got a sample today and am not even going to gamble with using it for my very light rosacea that may actually just be caused by retinol cream. Not worth the risk!"

For Rosacea "I saw an ad for Rhofade and asked my derm for a sample. Contains oxymetazoline, which used to be the vasoconstrictor ingredient in Visine eye drops, so it made sense to me. Didn't see much effect for a couple of weeks; then, all of a sudden, all redness broke loose! My face turned bright red, was covered with pustules, and itched like mad. It took weeks of coating my face with hydrocortisone to resolve."

For Rosacea "The first day I used Rhofade, it seemed to be a miracle worker, the second day I noticed little bumps appearing on my skin. The third day my cheeks became extremely itchy, and I felt like my face was on fire! My face looks like it is completely sunburned. I went to the doctor with a mild case of rosacea, and now my face looks 100x worse."

For Rosacea "I have been using Rhofade for 2 weeks and am very happy with the results. I've suffered with rosacea so long I forgot what an even complexion without makeup looked like on me. Very happy I tried it and will continue."

For Rosacea "I'm not even sure why the doctor prescribed this for me, as I have very mild rosacea and very little redness. The first time I used it, my skin tone evened out and looked great. A few weeks after, I used it again before going out, and I got a spot. I used it the next night and had four more spots that got worse before better. It took three days before the spots went away. I usually only get spots when I'm in the sun and wasn't in the sun, so is it a coincidence that I got spots after using the product? $75 down the drain."

For Rosacea "I have used Rhofade off and on for a couple of years. Sometimes it helps, and sometimes it seems to make the redness worse. If I apply it when I'm just beginning to feel the redness or flush come on, then it seems to work the best. I bought it with coupons the first time. This year, my insurance will pay for it, but just for four tubes for the one year. I'm not sure what I will do after that. Stress definitely brings these rosacea attacks on, and so I have been using meditation techniques, which do help. I had mild rosacea most of my life, but it really kicked in after I was hospitalized with a serious gastrointestinal bacterial infection several years ago. My rosacea is not only red, but my face, especially my cheeks, feel sore and very hot when I'm having a bad attack. Sometimes it is just one cheek. During the night, it will often clear up on its own. I've had periods of time, like a couple of months, where I never even think about it. It really is a strange affliction."

For Rosacea "I used Rhofade for more than a month (2-3 times a week). When I first used it, it definitely helped reduce the redness on my left cheek. After a few weeks, I noticed I would wake up in the morning and my face would look sunburned, and it felt like it was on fire. My face also became very dry and started to peel. I never thought Rhofade would cause my very mild rosacea to get worse until I started to read reviews on this site. Once I realized, I stopped using Rhofade for a week now, and the redness has been getting better. I'm hoping after another week, my skin will get back to the way it was before I started using this product."

For Rosacea "Be EXTREMELY careful with this medicine. I had minor redness of the face after taking Accutane for 6 months. My doctor gave me Rhofade all nonchalantly. I began to use it once a day, every day for a few months. Well, slowly I realized it was actually making my face more red. When I would not put it on, my face would be bright red, making me look ten times worse. I have completely stopped taking it now for about a month and my face is still very red. My doctor prescribed me doxycycline to help get rid of the redness, but it is not working well. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would rather take a pill instead of a topical at this point. I tried propranolol, but it made me dizzy and lightheaded. Please, anything would help, I am desperate!"

For Rosacea "I tried Rhofade for a few weeks, and it didn't work at all. No change in redness and rebound flushing. I do not recommend. It doesn't work, and it actually causes more redness. Had much better results with Mirvaso, but it's very expensive."

For Rosacea "I've had mild rosacea for years and was thrilled to read an article espousing Rhofade. My dermatologist prescribed it without warning of possible side effects. After two days, my face is dark red everywhere this cream touched my face. Bumps and burning. Beware of this product."

For Rosacea "I have been using Rhofade for the past 2 months. I am very happy with the results. My redness is about 50-75% less. This means that I am not using foundation on weekends and days I don't go to work. My face has some redness, but it looks healthy. In addition to the flush improvement, my face is not as dry and scaly as it was before using it. Unlike a lot of reviewers here, I have not had pimples or any other reaction. My derm told me Rhofade is 50/50. Some love the results, and some don't. I guess I got lucky."

"I was prescribed Rhofade to treat red marks left from an acne breakout. I broke out in hives five minutes after applying it and started to have trouble breathing, which led me to call 911. As it turns out, I was having an extreme allergic reaction to it."

For Rosacea "I was really excited to try this product after years of suffering from rosacea. The first day, it seemed great - dramatic reduction in redness. However, after another use, it seemed to make my rosacea even worse (painful rebound redness). It wasn't just red - it was fierce red and burning. This product should come with a warning about the severity of rebound risk. Big disappointment."
