Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I was prescribed Soolantra after having mild-moderate pustules which turned out to be rosacea. This review is to tell anyone who has started to keep going … it works!!! But it gets so much worse before it gets better. During week 1 I didn’t see much of a difference in my skin at all. by day 10 - 14 my bumps and skin texture were 1000 times worse than it was before Soolantra. I cried nearly every day but kept reading reviews and powered through. By day 15 they basically disappeared overnight and my skin is looking amazing. They are nearly completely gone! Please please please keep going. It is true that it gets a lot worse before it gets better but so worth it."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I was diagnosed with Rosacea, it affected my nose with papules and pustules. Initially I was prescribed doxycycline for a period of 8 weeks during which my skin cleared up perfectly. Having finished the course it returned 4 weeks later with a vengeance! Then I was prescribed Soolantra. Week 1/2 my outbreak worsened then started to clear slowly but I still had visible spots and redness. Week 4/5 a second breakout but not as bad. Week 7/8 my skin has cleared to the point Its not noticeable, a little redness under the skin but this should heal in time. I was doubtful it would work around the 4 to 5 week stage so I visited the doctor, he told me to bare with it and continue the course, I’m happy I did! so far so good. Before I apply I wash my face and nose with a baby shampoo and then apply enough Soolantra to cover the affected area and massage in for a few minutes. I’ll update again if I have another breakout. The best of luck for everyone out there I hope it works for you!"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "Update just finished a 3 and a half months Doctor said I should stop now my skin is still inflamed and I’m still getting spots. Does it work ? If you're lucky. I’d definitely try this before taking any antibiotics. Wish I’d tried it years ago before my skin deteriorated and became so sensitive. My advice to any of the young ones. Wear less make up protect your skin barrier. And stay out the sun . Has it fixed my skin......no . Don’t think they have got the exact chemistry right. But my skin and a lot of rosacea suffers don’t get on with the Cetaphil base. As I can’t take antibiotics I’m going to try the zz cream next. Every Derm I’ve seen have been a waste of money especially in the UK so don’t waste your money, do your research as the Doctors are clueless . Rosacea.org forum is the best place for advice from people who actually suffer from it ."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I wrote on here 17/2/19 and thought I’d give an update. Since day 4, my skin has improved dramatically. It is no longer rough and scaly, or as bumpy (which was my main concern) and the redness is still cooling. I still get the occasional papule - and I know you shouldn’t pop them - but as soon as I do, I apply soolantra to the spot and it is already gone the next day. I am on day 12 now and I’m feeling confident so far, but there is still a while to go! Hopefully this works! Best of luck to everyone else!"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "Entire face covered in red patches and breakouts several lumps under the skin especially along jaw line. It was terrible. Started Soolantra and it was worse for about a week and a half. Nearly quit. But then... my skin started to clear a little. I kept going and slowly it worked better and better. 5 months after starting only the visible veins on my nose are there, no breakouts, no lumps or pustules. Skin has healed so well. Watch your diet too. Less wheat is important amazing product. It changed my life. I’ve used it for 7 months."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I never had suffered from Rosacea until I started taking Accutane for Acne. The doctor mentioned a side effect was redness and increased sensitivity to sun, but I assumed this would wear off or go away once I finished the dosage. How wrong I was! I took Accutane for mild acne, which I hugely regret, as the lasting effects have been much worse than the original spots. I stopped taking Accutane 2+ years ago. The spots came back after 12 months, and now I cannot tan. I burn in the sun very easily, blush all the time, especially after a few drinks, and overall have a lot more issues with my skin. I live in the Middle East, so as you can imagine, not an easy place to suffer from this. I started using Soolantra after reading these reviews, and one week in, it's working great. My skin feels smooth, and the spots have gone. Redness I can see is starting to reduce. I just hope this can assist with the flushing also. I have never suffered from this, and it affects me socially quite a bit."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I’m a 62 year old male suffering from rosacea for years. I was using Doxycycline to keep it under control, but decided to try Soolantra, with no antibiotics. Wonderful stuff! It only took 2 weeks to see great improvement and about 2 months to almost forget that I ever had rosacea. My only complain is the price: a 45 g tube is $200 with insurance here in the US. If you go to Colombia, a 30 g tube sells for just $25!"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I have tried a lot of medications for my rosacea(metrogel, antibiotics etc) this is the only medication that has cleared my skin—yes it does dry my skin but after a couple of hours I apply sunblock and face moisturizer and I’m good."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I have had rosacea for about a year now. Over the summer, it got substantially worse - my cheeks and chin are very red and covered with small bumps. I tried Metrogel which did absolutely nothing, so my derm prescribed Soolantra. Within the first couple of days, the difference in texture in my skin was SO noticeable. Before, it had felt like sandpaper, and it was suddenly completely smooth. I also saw significant improvement in my skin for the first 10 days. However, around the end of the second week, things got about as bad as they were before I started using Soolantra. I am now at the end of the 4th week, and the flare-up still has not cleared up. I suppose my skin is a tiny bit better than it was before I went on Soolantra, but not a lot. But I know that the mites need time to die off, so I am gritting my teeth and pushing forward. I'm hoping that the huge texture improvement to my skin is a sign that this medicine will eventually work - will update again in a couple of weeks."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I have been suffering from rosacea for around 5 years, I would get persistent red scaly patches on both cheeks, they would clear up slightly but quickly return. Alcohol definitely made it worsen. I’ve also always been quick to flush if embarrassed. I heard about soolantra and decided to give it a go in lockdown since I am not going to see anyone at the moment :) the first evening I put it on the next morning my patches had risen and become more noticeable, they even had small white pustular spots on them which I’ve never had before! So something was definitely working.. then came the severe itchiness for around 5-7 days. It was so hard not to scratch! I found an ice pack helped with this stage. Then came the flaking which is the stage I am still going through two weeks in. The patches are still there but the rest of my face feels very smooth. I think this cream is having a positive effect on me as the redness is not as bad and the patches feel a little bit smaller but we will see!"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I was diagnosed with Rosacea about 8 years ago, I think it was triggered by stress. I was told it was type 2, papulopustular rosacea. It was a huge shock as I've never even had spots or acne in my whole life. The first time I was prescribed oral antibiotics and Metronidazole, it took 2 months to bring it under control. After that, I used to get outbreaks once or maybe twice a year, but found Metronidazole took too long to work. Then, 4 to 5 years ago, I heard about Soolantra, I got it on prescription and since then I haven’t used anything else, it’s brilliant, it works quickly and the redness and pustules reduce within 2 days. I actually had a flare up last week and started using it 6 days ago and it has almost gone. For me, it’s the best treatment around. I also wash my face with glycerin and rose hip organic soap, I've just ordered a new soap which I read is really good for rosacea it is made with goat milk and honey or with oatmeal or coconut oil."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "Using Soolantra has been life changing for me. Rosacea hit me hard a month after I turned 30 and for 8 years I tried everything and nothing worked well for me. I've been using Soolantra now for 9 months and my face is completely "normal". It does get worse before it gets better. I notice a lot of people have given a 1 star review after using for just a few days but you have to give it time. The first 10 days were horrible for me. Worse than my face had ever been! (Bad timing too as I had to go to NY to see clients that week) I read that it is killing the mites during those first applications and your skin is responding to that. Well after two weeks, I was completely clear. I probably use it about once a week now for maintenance."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I have been using Soolantra for one week so far. I still have pustules and scaly patches but they are improving. Almost from day one the itching and heat has gone! I have had rosacea for 13 years and had forgotten how normal feels. Even if my skin gets no better it is worth it just for that."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I’ve been suffering from rosacea for over 2 years. I’ve tried cream and antibiotics prescribed by the dermatologist nothings has worked until they prescribed this to me a month ago. Wow wow wow amazing results. My skin has gone from looking very angry (very red, sore red bumps) to smooth and almost all of the redness has gone in just a few weeks. I can wear makeup again without the foundation highlighting how bumpy my skin really was, it really has worked for me "

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "my face is an absolute nightmare. My face is full of papules and pustules, blackheads in my cheeks and nose, and redness in my T-zone. It has been like this for about 2 years and it has been getting worse recently. I'm using soolantra for 2 weeks now, but can't see any progress and effectiveness. I will update if I see any."

Sklice (ivermectin) for Head Lice "Do not use this medication on your children or anyone! My child lost all of her hair and my other daughter lost half of her hair! Scabbing, scores! This product is very dangerous and should be pulled off the market! This damaged a little girls life that will never recover a year later she still has almost no hair!"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "This medicine is fantastic. I was diagnosed with Type I rosacea two years ago and my skin was getting increasingly red and angry. Luckily my dr prescribed Soolantra as the first approach. Within a few weeks, I no longer looked flushed and blotchy all the time. I did not notice any getting worse at first, the redness just slowly faded away and did not come back. It also made my skin look much "brighter" and smoother. I still have a slight purple-red area on one cheek by my ear that has not totally gone away, so it might not be able to heal all the damage, but on a day-to-day basis, it is definitely effective. The only downside to the medication is the price. However, I was able to get it through a mail-order discount pharmacy for $50-$75 per tube. This is not cheap but you really only need a tiny amount each day, so each tube lasts for literally months."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "Soolantra has completely cured me of all of my Rosacea related acne and has substantially if not completely reduced the redness on my face. After various treatments both topical and oral and many frustrating years of nothing working this was it. It’s my magic cream!"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I have struggled with rosacea for many, many years. I don’t like to wear make-up everyday but have to due to this. After finally consulting with a dermatologist, he diagnosed me with two types of rosacea. He prescribed me soolantra. I have good insurance so it was free. When used daily, it works really well. When I don’t wear make-up now, I feel more confident because I don’t look like I’m constantly embarrassed or hungover. I experience no side effects. I’m very happy with it and will continue using it to combat my rosacea."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "Soolantra isn't nothing short of miraculous. I have had Rosacea for the last 6 years. I tried everything. I was using Clinique products for the last 2 years and they seemed to stop working. My face broke out so badly that I cancelled my plans for about a week and would only leave the house if forced, with heavy makeup. I went to a new dermatologist expecting the same old options. She gave me a trial sized tube of Soolantra and I saw results almost immediately. My skin tone is so even, it's amazing. I went without it for two days and the redness started to come back with some blotches. It took about three days using the medication and it cleared up. I use clear zinc oxide cream over it (SPF 50) and there are days I actually go without makeup"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "Soolantra is the best thing that ever happened to my rosacea. Out of nowhere, I stared getting these huge, nasty bumps on my nose. My dermatologist diagnosed me with type 2 rosacea. After reading reviews about how Soolantra can make skin worse at first, I was hesitant to start it before I went on a long planned vacation. Boy am I glad that I did start it before vacation! Within days my skin was completely clear. Its been 7 months now and I have not had one bump. I use it *mostly* every night and have had great results!!!"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I’ve been using soolantra since October and it definitely got rid of the red patchy red skin I got on my cheeks . I'm still using it now and I go through a week or two of clear skin then I have a reaction for now reason for like a week . I’m starting to think I have dermodox mites as I’ve read all of these reviews . If I have dermodox mites should I be using soolantra at night as they are more active at night ?"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I have used Soolantra, a very thin application once a day after shower for Rosacea for 3 years. It has completely taken care of my rosacea lesions and redness, and my blepharitis has also stopped being a problem. I can skip one or two days, but it is better if I resume by the third day, or it begins to come back."

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "UPDATE: I last wrote 14/3/19 at which point I’d been on soolantra for mild perioral dermatitis (a form of rosacea) for a month and my skin was clear - no bumps, no redness, no spots! However, 2 months in and my skin is breaking out again. I wake up to at least 2 new bumps or big whiteheads every day and whilst they only last about 2 days, it is still very annoying and makes me self-conscious. However, I know that there are ups and downs in treatment, and I still have a month left so I will update in due course as to whether this is “normal” or if soolantra is no longer working for me. Best of luck to others!"

Soolantra (ivermectin) for Rosacea "I woke up with a random small rash patch that spread over two months to both sides of my cheeks. Apparently mild rosacea.. bumpy red blotches, enlarged pores, just horrid skin. I’ve been on doxy for a month and azelic acid 20% which calmed the redness but wasn’t clearing the bumps. I’ve been using Soolantra for 4 days and my skin has got so bad... lots of bumps which you can see in sunlight which I never had before ... will it get better?! I can’t take much more of it"
