"This review is for Finacea Foam. I visited a dermatologist and discovered I have rosacea. She prescribed Finacea Foam and gave me a small booklet to read. In the middle of the booklet, it was mentioned that it is important to throw out anything left over 8 weeks after opening. Reason not given... wasteful for something that costs close to $300. I wasn't concerned about any redness in my skin, as it wasn't bad, but I was assured it would take care of the pimple-like bumps that had persisted for years. I tried it for two weeks and there was no improvement... just got a little worse. It also dried out my skin, so I had to use extra moisturizers. No terrible side effects, so rating it a 2. Wish I'd been able to get a sample to try out."

"Been using this, tretinoin 0.05% and dapsone 5%, and it has helped me with my acne and hyperpigmentation. What I like about Finacea is that it doesn't irritate my skin and helps with hyperpigmentation. 9/10."

"What I like about Finacea over Soolantra is that you can apply it only to the areas that need it (Soolantra really has to be applied all over, otherwise, the mites just relocate). I find that 2x a day Finacea all over the face can make the more sensitive areas of my face (chin for me) more red. It does a great job of clearing up pustules, though. Also, very little purging (3-4 days for me). Works much better than Metrogel. I used it for 6 months but stopped because I felt like it made the little red veins more visible after a while. Now I am 3 weeks into Soolantra, but it has drawn out so many more bumps... I may switch back. Also, you can order this drug online from Australia. $28/tube. Same as prescription med here in the USA."

"I have never suffered with acne/rosacea apart from stress related in my early 40s. I'm now 57, and it came back. I have slightly red skin with fatty-type lumps under my eyes and down the sides of my nose and cheek. I went to the doctor, and he prescribed Finacea 15. It worked immediately. My skin hasn't looked so clear in years. Would definitely recommend. Slight tingling sensation, but worth it for the results. Don't understand the huge price tag in the States. No doubt something political/financial. Ridiculous."

"I used Finacea cream for years but now had to switch to the foam. While the actual medicine is still working for me, I have to say that the price of $175 I would expect for the dispenser to work. I tried to exchange it but will not get any answer. I spend my morning on hold without ever even getting a person to talk to. The coupon line, yes. But not Bayer. I just cannot endorse this product. Would love to give it 0 stars, but the cream worked, just no longer available. Big Pharma rip-off!"

"Finacea foam is what I have used over the last 3 years. My dermatologist had a small sample of the foam he gave to me. I loved it! That small container lasted about a year. Now I have refilled a slightly larger 50-gram foam 15%. Ease of use, easy to apply and spread, and whatever it touches, it seems to disappear. Raised bumps also disappear as well as rosacea. I'm 63 y.o. male. It is very effective, just shake it and push the button softly and spread it on skin. I like the way I can spread a light/thin layer and do it again 12 hours later. After about the 2nd application, it's clearing up, by the 3rd application, most blemishes just disappear. 10 on a 1–10 scale foam."

"Used it three days, and on the third day, got so dizzy I had to lean on the wall and couldn't stand. It worked on the redness immediately, so I was happy, but the dizziness was extreme. I washed it off, and after two hours, the dizziness went away. I'm in my 60s and read somewhere a couple of others had this problem with it. Also gave me tinnitus and hoping that goes away. I wish I had never tried this."

"I have been using this for the redness of rosacea. I don't really have bumps or acne from rosacea. I've been using this twice a day for six months and still have flare-ups."

"Finacea works, but my skin got better before it got worse. Give it time. I only apply it at night, and I try not to use a moisturizer. Peeling is normal for the first bit."

"Just have been using for about 1 week, and the redness on my cheeks is going away. I look much better and will get more from the doctor."

"I am currently using Finacea gel. I have mild rosacea. My doctor recommended I use it thrice a week. I feel like it's getting worse, though it's been a week only. Should I wait more to see the effect?"
