For Acne "I have been using it for almost a month now. My face has made a big improvement, but I got lazy and didn't use it for a couple of days, and my face exploded with pimples again in that short period of time. I will definitely keep up with it this time. My face has been suffering from hormonal acne due to pregnancy since July of 2010."

For Rosacea "I took Finacea for nine weeks, and it has made my rosacea worse. I have inflammation and pustules, along with burning and stinging sensations, which have increased considerably. It appears to work well for a lot of people, but like every other rosacea treatment, it’s not for everyone."

For Rosacea "I was suffering with a really bad rosacea flare-up for almost a year. New dermatologist gave me Finacea foam in addition to Metrogel to use twice a day. After 4 months, there was only such a small improvement, and I was continuing to get pustules on my cheeks daily. I ultimately got off of the Finacea and am now in Metrogel and another topical cream, which works so much better for me."
