For Rosacea "Do not use Mirvaso for rosacea! The first time I took Mirvaso, it was a miracle. I felt like I never had rosacea. But each day after, it got worse and worse, and I began to have flares daily, and my face has become more red than before even beginning this medication. The thing is... Mirvaso almost forces you to apply it every day, or else the day you don’t apply, you look extra red. What once was redness mainly on my cheeks is now extending onto my nose as well. I have decided to stop taking this, and I pray that tomorrow won’t be as bad as others' experiences."

For Rosacea "I only used Mirvaso once. I applied a pea-sized amount to my mild rosacea. It did not take long for the medicine to work, although it made the redness go away, my skin was very pale and discolored looking. About 10 hours later, I had a terrible flare-up, and my cheeks were more red than they have ever been. I do not recommend this product. It is a waste of money. My facial redness is worse from using this product and has not gone down since I used it."

For Rosacea "At first, this medication was helping, and then I started getting random flare-ups, and my face would get really blotchy and feel like it's on fire. This had never happened before I started this medication, so I stopped. I'm going to dig deeper and see if I can find a better product."

For Rosacea "I have used Mirvaso for three years now. Quite frankly, I love the stuff. There is a lot I would do without before I would give up my prescription. It really eliminates the redness on my face and lasts for a while. Yes, triggers can still set off a flare. As far as rebound, I don’t notice any difference between before I used it and after using it. As I said, I love the stuff. It is extremely expensive, and I’m very grateful that my insurance covers it. But if you have to pay for it out-of-pocket, know that you only need a tiny amount and a tube of it will go a long way."
