For Rosacea "An absolute savior for me. Rosacea pustules had been increasing in quantity and intensity - terrible. Discovered Finacea Gel - it's an over-the-counter pharmacy medication in Australia and at only AUS$26 worth a try. Not much impact for the first four weeks, in fact possible worse. I persisted. Now, 8 weeks in, and the results are amazing. Rosacea has really settled down, few pustules, red marks faded, and skin generally much better texture. Very highly recommended - but do be patient and persist!"

For Acne "In the past, I have used Finacea along with Solodyn for my cystic acne. Because my acne is primarily around the jawline, it is considered hormonal. Well, the Finacea really, really helped with redness and lightening old acne marks. My dermatologist informed me it has a slight bleaching effect, and it definitely showed. After a few years of being off of it, I am back on. Hopefully, it has the same effects."

For Rosacea "I just started using the gel today, so I cannot comment on its effectiveness yet for clearing up my mild rosacea. It does burn my face quite a bit, but I’m sure if I push through that for a week or so, it won’t be as bad. I am writing this comment, however, because I see a lot of comments from people that are unhappy about the price of this medication and issues with prescriptions. I agree that the prices are outrageous here in the US. I never went to a doctor for a prescription to get the gel, I simply googled 'buy Finacea' and very easily purchased it from an Australian website called Pharmacy Online, and it was only $33 total with shipping. I hope this helps anyone who cannot afford it or had trouble getting it through their doctor! Will update later on how it has affected my rosacea."

For Rosacea "Although in my 70s, I suffered from an irritating red and pimply rash mainly around the chin and mouth area. Over many years, I have tried all sorts of remedies, but none really worked. Within a couple of days of using Finacea, I could see a marked improvement. I now only use the cream occasionally if I find the rash returning, and it keeps it at bay. Fantastic result, and I only wish I had discovered it years ago."

For Rosacea "Finacea is a miracle drug, but the key to perfect (most of the time) skin is adding a good moisturizer. I use a good skin moisturizer for rosacea. I have my beautiful, glowing skin back! It is all worth the money to me. If your skin is burning and red, it is probably because you are not using the right moisturizer. Remember, people with rosacea need special moisturizers. Maybe find one made specifically for rosacea. Good luck!"

For Rosacea "Have been using this cream for 3 days, and I already notice a big difference. I really didn't have problems with breakouts, more redness than anything. I have tried numerous creams and pills, this is the best so far. My skin looks better than it has in years."

For Rosacea "I have been using this for 6 months, and the change in my skin has been amazing. I had been using doxy, which was going okay, but once I stopped responding, the doctor prescribed me this. I wish I would have started with this product. I have moderate rosacea coupled with some cheek acne. This stuff started making a difference about 4 days in. I had people asking me what I had done differently and why I looked so good. I only use it in the morning, and I can do this because it dries SO fast. It doesn't leave a weird film or feeling like lots of prescription creams do. Even so, it helps tighten the skin and has smoothed the appearance of fine lines. The only reason I gave this 9 stars is that it gives you peach fuzz all over your cheeks."

For Rosacea "I have used this lotion for one week and already have noticed a huge improvement in the reduction of redness, bumps, and overall health of my skin. I am very happy with this product and would highly recommend it."

For Rosacea "I've been on numerous topical and oral medications for acne. At one point, Solodyn and Doxycycline have been the only skin saviors for me. My derma put me on several different topicals over the course of the last four years, i.e., Ziana, Epiduo, Onexton, Retin-A, and Acanya. I've probably tried more but can't remember all of them. The last topical I was on was Epiduo until I found out that I was pregnant. My doctor quickly put me on Finacea since it is safe to use during pregnancy. I have to say, it's been 6 days using it morning and night, and it's the absolutely best topical I've tried. My skin is under control, and past acne scars are fading. I really do love this stuff. Wish I tried it sooner!"

For Acne "I've been using this with doxycycline for about a month and a half, and my skin has cleared up completely, with the exception of some minor scarring. I put about a pea-sized amount on at night, and it goes on smoothly and doesn't leave a film or anything like some other topicals. Such a life saver!"

For Acne "I have been using the product for approximately 1 month for my cystic acne. I have yet to notice any improvement in my acne. I do think my face is smoother and less red, however. My adult cystic acne is very stubborn and related to my menstrual cycle. I hope it will improve with continued use!"

For Rosacea "I have tried everything for my rosacea, including antibiotics and even Accutane, but this product is the only one that truly got rid of my acne. In fact, it seemed like it worked overnight. The seemingly small bottle of foam lasted about 7 months, and my skin stayed clear the whole time. I’m so glad my dermatologist recommended this product after diagnosing me with rosacea. However, I definitely can’t afford to continue buying it, so I’ve switched to cheaper azelaic acid products. They don’t work as well, but still keep my skin looking healthy. I recommend trying this if you have rosacea or sensitive skin in general. The only reason I’m not giving this product a 10/10 is because of its cost."

For Rosacea "My wife got some of this as a sample today. She has medium rosacea. She tested a little in the car while I was driving her home. When we got home (30 mins?), I went, wow, look at your face. She went, wow, too! Huge change with just one application! Hope this continues!"

For Rosacea "Great results in reducing severe facial disfigurement and maintaining smooth and soft skin. Could not do without it. Now my insurance is harassing my doctor for prior authorization for a product that has been working great for me for over 10 years."

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 have been using Finacea gel for the last 6 weeks and have seen amazing results. I had been recently diagnosed with a medium case of rosacea, but to me, it felt like it was a serious case. Both cheeks and forehead were affected. My forehead and cheeks were at times very red, and I became very aware of it. I use it twice a day and have also been given a course of erythromycin tablets, and I also use Zerobase moisturizing cream. By using all of the mentioned items, I have seen an incredible difference in my face, and on occasions, my face bears no redness as it used to. I saw some difference in about 10 days by using Finacea gel, and I cannot recommend it enough."

For Rosacea "Been using for 10 years and has always kept my rosacea at bay. It stings during the first week of use but definitely worth enduring that discomfort, the results are amazing! A tube now lasts me almost a year as it only takes a tiny bit of cream to maintain clear skin."

For Acne "45 years old and had acne my whole life, tried everything under the sun, including Accutane 11 years ago. This medication has done wonders for my skin over the past 8 months. It's truly a great product, but it does cost $200 a tube with 15% off! I feel it's worth every penny."

For Acne "Been using this product along with Bactrim for about 1 week and already see good results... had 3 big cystic pimples that were on my face for more than 3 months... and they have gone down in 1 week... can't wait to see what the next month or 2 brings."

For Rosacea "I discovered Finacea in Australia on vacation. There, the gel is available over the counter for $30. Coming back to the US and seeing the $300 price tag, I started researching Canadian online drugs. Cost $36."

For Acne "I have suffered from adult acne for years. I have found that the most effective treatments I have used have often been for products for rosacea, like Prosacea, which is over the counter. It worked well for about a year and then slowly became ineffective. So my dermatologist prescribed this. It worked wonders after just 2 days. I rate it a 10! :)"

For Rosacea "I brought it from my country, the insurance does not cover this cream here. I only pay U$27 compared with almost U$400. Finacea really works for me. I used to wear Metrogel (didn't work), taking a lot of antibiotics in the past. My dermatologist gave me some Finacea samples because it was expensive. I cannot understand why all dermatologic problems are considered 'cosmetology' and insurance does not cover them."

For Rosacea "I really like how this product performs! I received a sample from my doctor, my blemishes are clearing up and the redness is gone! However, it is not covered by my insurance. A month's supply would be $304.00! Even with a discount card, the cost was over $200.00. I cannot justify spending that much money on blemishes each month. :/ The patent is due to expire in Nov 2018... I hope a generic version is offered right away."

For Rosacea "I've been using Finacea on and off for many years! When I was originally diagnosed with rosacea, the treatment was continuous tetracycline. A couple of years later, it was my ophthalmologist who prescribed Finacea, and the results were almost immediate. My usual course of treatment is a morning facial wash with a gentle cleanser and then a few dabs of Finacea smoothed into the affected areas. And then there are periods when I don't use it at all until I begin to see the initial telltale signs. Recently, and years later, I had a flare-up of rosacea-related acne on my cheeks, a new occurrence. My dermatologist placed me on doxycycline and twice-a-day Finacea with excellent results in a matter of a few days. It's been like a cure for me."

For Rosacea "I've been using Finacea for about 2 months daily. Maybe redness reduced, but stubborn bumps still there. Very expensive prescription for something that doesn't work so great. I think Prosacea - a $10 OTC drug - works as well or possibly even a little better. Good luck to all."
