Finacea is light, easily absorbed, and is most often prescribed by dermatologists. In fact, FINACEA is prescribed primarily by dermatologists and it is considered by them to be a first-line treatment option for rosacea sufferers.

FINACEA is unique. Here are a few of its key features:
FINACEA is the first prescription gel approved by the FDA for treating the redness and the bumps and pimples associated with rosacea.

It contains azelaic acid, a naturally occurring active ingredient that is present in whole grains and in the skin.

It can be used in conjunction with non-irritating skin care products and cosmetics. It's a water-based gel that is fragrance-free (to help prevent allergic reactions), alcohol-free (to help prevent irritation and dryness), easily absorbed, and that penetrates deeply. It's perfect for daily use at home and on the go.

Unlike some topical medications whose effectiveness levels off after 8 weeks, in a medical trial, rosacea sufferers using FINACEA experienced a continuous decline in red bumps and pimples throughout 12 weeks of treatment.

Finacea is indicated for topical treatment of inflammatory papules and pustules of mild to moderate rosacea. Although some reduction of erythema which was present in patients with papules and pustules of rosacea occurred in clinical studies, efficacy for treatment of erythema in rosacea in the absence of papules and pustules has not been evaluated.
