Description

Finacea 15% Gel is a topical prescription treatment formulated to manage inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea and acne. It is intended for adults experiencing persistent redness, papules, and pustules associated with mild to moderate rosacea. Finacea is commonly prescribed for use on the face and is well-tolerated by many skin types.

How It Works
Finacea contains azelaic acid, a naturally occurring acid that targets multiple factors contributing to rosacea and acne. It inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria and reduces the production of keratin, which can block pores. Additionally, it helps decrease the swelling and redness associated with inflammatory skin lesions. This multi-action mechanism supports clearer and calmer skin over time.

Why Choose Finacea 15% Gel
Finacea provides an effective, non-antibiotic option for treating rosacea, helping avoid antibiotic resistance. Its gel formulation is light, non-greasy, and suitable for oily or combination skin. It’s often chosen by dermatologists for long-term management due to its tolerability and ability to treat multiple symptoms like redness and pustules. Many users report a noticeable reduction in flare-ups and visible inflammation with regular use.

Important Note
Finacea should only be used under medical supervision. It may cause mild burning, stinging, or dryness, particularly during the first few weeks of use. If irritation becomes severe, discontinue use and seek advice. It is not intended for use in children or for non-inflammatory acne. Sun exposure should be limited, and sunscreen is recommended during treatment.
