I was using Mirvaso for 18 months. I mean, with a VERY mild rosacea, only a few spots on my face, I just used the gel once a week. God, I was so happy! My skin had no redness whatsoever! Beautiful, pale, clean face. Then, in April 2018, I noticed a small, red, penny-size spot on my cheek. Well, to cover it, I started using Mirvaso every day (it worked for a few hours) - and I noticed my cheeks started getting more red, skin was sensitive, itchy and felt burning. I spoke to my dermatologist and she said: Oh, you have sensitive skin, you have rosacea, use more Miravaso, you will be fine. So I followed her directions.. do I have to tell you that a 10-days Mirvaso supply cost over $700? My face started looking TERRIBLE!!! Red, chemical burn looking - the spots became HUGE! I was not able to cover them - unless, of course, I would use Miravaso - then it was ok for about 1 hour. Came back to the doctor - she gave me some meds so I put the steroid ointment first and then .. yes - she told me to put Mirvaso! In the meantime my lips started looking strange - they got swollen, extremely dry, looked like cracked with clear discharge.. So painful. So ugly. I was not able to sleep, my face felt like someone put salt on open wounds... The pain woke me up several times a night. I looked horrible. I saw a few doctors until one (!) - God bless her - was smart (and brave) enough to tell me the truth: it was Mirvaso's side effect: rebound redness. She said that a lot of dermatologists strongly recommend Mirvaso because they accept pharma gifts so they often prescribe unnecessary expensive drugs (often knowing that they are not going to help anyway). Guys, for any reason, please do not use Mirvaso! My face looks awful: big dark red spots all over - people in the stores ask me if I need medical help - nightmare! My skin became so thin and wrinkly that you cannot even imagine. Find an HONEST dermatologist who can help you. BTW, I stopped using Mirvaso last week - face still the sameRead More Read Less
