Metronidazole topical "Useful for rosacea that is not extremely out of control. If you have just a few pustules, it can be helpful when used regularly."

Metronidazole topical "I tried MetroGel for my rosacea for over two months and saw no results. I was very disappointed. My derm switched me to Soolantra, and I'm finally seeing some results."

Metronidazole topical "It's great, doesn't help the infrequent redness but keeps the skin clear for me, just when I notice the flare-up until it subsides. The cost is exorbitant: $1800 a tube, 60g."

"Used it twice a day for several months, and it did nothing to help reduce the redness or bumps. It cost $80 as well, and that was with 80 percent covered."

Metronidazole topical "I have found the MetroGel successfully reduces redness and pimples. It is important to wash the area with soap or another cleanser, dry the area, and then put on MetroGel. Twice a day, faithfully."
