2 | redness and small acne | i am not sure what its doing, it seems to be bringing everything and I mean everything to the skin surface so I am not sure i like it or not! I will give it 12 weeks and let you all know my results. | F | 37 | 5 weeks 1X day | 2/27/2014 | 2 | mild acne and rosacea | Itching, burning | Have to use very little, and it took skin 2 weeks to adjust. Very itchy and red and inflamed. Redness still present and smAll acne bumps still exist, although I've been using it faithfully. Must go with generic, as brand name is ridiculously priced, even with insurance. Will probably ask seen for something else once tube is finished. | F | 29 | 1 months 1X day | 2/26/2014 | 2 | Rosacea | Rosacea flareup | Had a bad flareup after applying this to my nose. Since it comes and goes w/o rhyme or reason, im not sure if Finacea cause it or not, but im afraid to use it again. | M | 54 | 5 days 1X day | 5/6/2013 | 3 | Acne Treatment | Absolutely no redness. Peeling just at middle of nostrils and bottom sides of nose. Not sure Finacea is doing anything. Using a combo of Panoxyl, Differin, and the Finacea. Face became even more oily. The Finacea/Differin use seems to be healing new pimples quickly. | Don't see dermatoligist for another three weeks so let's see how my skin is doing by then. | F | 49 | 5 weeks 2X day | 3/12/2013 | 2 | Mild Roseacea | Itching, redness | Has made the redness on my face worse. Made my skin dry. Itching right after application is intense-pt info that came with it said this side effect would go away but it has never subsided completely. | F | 39 | 2 months 1X day | 4/27/2012 | 3 | mild rosacea | stinging, burning. | It seems to reduce the redness slightly in the affected area. I don't like the fact that the burning makes it so difficult to apply powder to my cheeks that I need to conceal the redness. This medicine is really a catch 22. I need it to make the skin look better long term, but using it makes it so that I can't conceal the skin effectively in the interim. I don't think I will continue using it. | F | 43 | 3 months 5mg 1X day | 2/22/2012 | 3 | M | 30 | 1X day | 6/19/2010 |
