About Finacea Gel
Finacea Gel is used to treat mild to moderate cases of rosacea which is characterized by reddish flare-ups on the nose and cheeks. The active ingredient in Finacea Gel is azelaic acid. Each gram of the gel contains 0.15gm of this chemical substance. As a naturally-occurring acid, azelaic acid is crucial for the faster renewal of the skin. In turn, the appearance of pimples and blackheads is curtailed. The compound contained in Finacea also eliminates bacteria that produce pimples and rosacea.

How effective is Finacea Gel?
Finacea Gel is an effective product for treating mild to moderate rosacea. In a study published on a credible online journal Biblioteca Cochrane, it was ascertained that azelaic acid, the active ingredient in Finacea Gel, has been a known treatment for acne for over several decades now. Azelaic 20% cream was also found to reduce a significant amount of non-inflammatory as well as inflammatory lesions. The effects of this medication are comparable to that of other approved standard treatments such as tretinoin, erythromycin and benzoil peroxide. Treatment for acne using azelaic acid is better tolerated because of its fewer side effects.
How does Finacea Gel work?
Azelaic acid, the active ingredient in Finacea Gel, is categorized as a dicarboxylic acid. This substance treats rosacea by reducing the symptoms it produces, namely redness and swelling of the skin. Acne is alleviated by azelaic acid because it destroys the bacteria that infect the pores. It also reduces the production of keratin, which is a natural substance that results in the growth of acne. A period of 3 months may be required for this substance to work on eliminating acne rosacea completely.
Directions
When shouldn’t I use Finacea Gel?
Do not begin this treatment if you are allergic to any of the ingredients contained in the product. This medication is for use only of adolescents 12 to 18 years old and adults. Be careful when using the gel- avoid getting it in your eyes, mouth, nose and vagina or rectum. Do not apply on irritated, broken, chapped, dry or wind or sunburnt skin. Allow these conditions to heal before treating with the gel initially.
How long do I use Finacea Gel for before I notice a difference?
Finacea Gel is usually applied 2 times a day- in the morning and at bedtime. It may take 4 weeks before improvements start to show. If, during this time duration, your symptoms do not alleviate, keep on applying the gel as usual. Wait for 12 weeks to see if your acne rosacea is completely treated. Otherwise, if your symptoms persist or get worse, consult your doctor right away.
How should I apply Finacea Gel?
Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before and after handling the gel.
Clean the acne rosacea- infected areas on your face using a soap-free cleansing lotion or a mild facial soap. Pat your face dry using a clean and soft towel.
This medication is typically applied 2 times a day- ideally in the morning and at night before sleeping. Check your doctor’s instructions and stick to it diligently.
Do not cover the treated areas of your face. Doing so will cause excessive absorption of the gel by your body, and this can be risky.
The doctor may advise you to reduce using the gel to once a day only if you experience severe skin dryness, irritation or burning.
If you missed a dose, apply one as soon as you remember, or proceed on your next application time. Do not apply two doses of the gel to make up for that you missed.
