For Rosacea "When I went to my dermatologist to have a mole removed, I asked him to evaluate my cheeks and nose. He informed me that I had mild rosacea and prescribed Rhofade. Unfortunately, this decision led to a significant mistake and resulted in trauma. Despite typically researching anything I put into my body extensively, I did not do so in this instance. Initially, I applied Rhofade in the morning, and it did fade the redness on my cheeks and nose somewhat. However, the next day, when I used it again, I felt a severe tingling and burning sensation. Within an hour, my cheeks and nose turned bright red, and my skin felt hot. I was so embarrassed that I had to call off work for the day. Now, two days after the second application of Rhofade, my face turns lobster-red with any stress, walking, or minimal exertion. This outcome has left me utterly devastated."

For Rosacea "This drug worked wonders for me. I have redness, but most impactful is the burning facial pain that comes on its own or in combination with a flare of redness. Rhofade has made a huge difference in the pain and burning sensations for me. I still get red with certain triggers, but much less and with far fewer pain/burning instances."

For Rosacea "I was prescribed Rhofade for my mild to moderate rosacea with no bumps, just redness. I applied a small amount of the cream, and all of the redness went away within 4 hours. It lasted for 3 hours, then the redness started to come back. Yes, the cream works, but the side effects are terrible. Firstly, whenever the cream is 'activated' or working, there is a constant tingling, goosebump sensation on your skin until the cream wears off. The tingling is also visually seen with a weird texture on the face. Also, there is some pretty bad rebound redness when the cream wears off that causes lots of burning. Additionally, do not use the cream and then go out into the rain, or something that will get your face wet. I did this while the cream was 'activated', and when I came back in, my face was splotchy red, where some parts of my face were red and some were white. Very ugly look."

For Rosacea "I used Rhofade a few times, and it seemed to work. After about 3 days, my face became really red and flushed. I felt like I was burning up. My doctor told me to stop it."

For Rosacea "Used Rhofade cream for 2 days, and face is redder than norm with more flushing, burning, and I notice more blood vessels. Hopefully, I can fix the damage caused by this product."
