What is Finacea?

Finacea is a prescription topical gel that contains 15% azelaic acid. It is FDA approved to treat redness (inflammation) and papules (raised areas of skin of around 1cm) and pustules (small bumps on the skin that contain fluid or pus) caused by mild to moderate rosacea.

Finacea is applied twice daily and it is important to be consistent with the application of the gel, to ensure you get the best results from treatment. It is used sparingly, and only half a gram (0.5g) should be used each time you apply Finacea. This means one 50 gram tube should last almost two months.
