User Reviews for Mirvaso topical

I am a physician and have prescribed Mirvaso for many of my patients. No significant problums thus far.

My derm prescribed this to me along with differin (topical cream to treat acne). The differin inflamed my face so bad because my skin is very sensitive. I stopped using the differin after 4 nights and just used the mirvaso. It worked for a couple days and by worked I mean my face was ghostly pale and then when the drug wore off it would get hot-red for an hour or so. After a week of using I went back to the derm and told her I wanted something else because the drug scared me and I was afraid I'd become dependent on it. She told me to reduce dosage to two pea-sized drops instead of five. I used this dosage for a week with the same results and it didn't stop me from flushing; it almost made me more prone to flushing or maybe because I was stressed about it - I don't know for sure. All in all, I wouldn't recommend to people with sensitive skin and didn't feel the results helped, but made the redness worse. Read More Read Less

Using Mirvaso for rosacea. Never thought my face could look this good. I usually only use it 3 times a week though. It helps.

I had very pink chin and cheeks before trying, and was very excited to see if Mirvaso would work. It just turned the rest of my face extremely white. I would describe my face with Mirvaso as a white canvas on which my rosacea could perch. About 3 hours after applying the medicine, I went for a jog. While jogging my face became so flushed, like nothing I've ever experienced before. It was so hot and painful that I had to quit exercising, return home, and ice my face. It took about a week for my face to return to the way it looked before trying the Mirvaso. All in all it was a huge disappointment. Read More Read Less

Disappointing results. Initially seemed to be somewhat effective but I experienced serious rebound redness after a few days of use.On balance,it made my condition worse.

I used the cream for 3 days and it worked very well. Then I decided not to use it for one day and I noticed that my face was very red and my face was very hot and I felt really uncomfortable. Its been 4 days since I used it last and my skin seems to be getting worse. I am really embarrassed to go out in public because my skin looks so bad. The redness seems to be all over the place and it looks really bad. It looks like I got a really bad sunburn. I am never using this product again and now I have to go back to the dermatologist to see if I can take care of the problem. I do not recommend using this product. Read More Read Less

Like previous users of this medication, I saw great effects the first few days, them BAM... My face was flushed, Hott, and Looked like a summer sunburn constantly. My face stayed flushed like this for hours. I had to use ice packs to calm down the inflammation in my cheek area. I will not continue to use this product or recommend it for use.

Like others who have commented. My first couple of days it looked like it was working. then my face got redder than ever and then any blemishes I had were amplified. Then I started getting dry patches of skin. In all, my facial appearance is significantly worse than before I started taking this drug. I am calling the dermatologist to see how fast I can get off this drug. (whether to quit at once or step down)

Not sure what to think right now -- I used it for 3 days with wonderful results and a weekend came and decided not to use it - on Monday my redness never went away even though I applied the cream as usual and now I am seeing little red vessels! Not sure what to do or think but will be contacting my derm's office.

I used this medication for mild redness caused by rosacea (type 1). I used it for 5 days and thought it was a miracle cure - it got rid of the redness within 30 minutes and I looked fabulous! After 8 hours, it slowly wore off. After day 5, and around 5 hours after applying Mirvaso my face started to feel like it was burning. I looked in the mirror and I looked like my face was on fire! I reapplied Mirvaso and eventually the redness went away. After another 4 hours, the redness was back, only worse this time. And it didn't go away for 5 days. Totally NOT worth it!!!! I'm never going back to this drug again. Horrible experience. Read More Read Less

I've had a very good experience with this drug, although I've found that only a very small amount is required to produce the effect. I too have been diluting a very, very small amount of Mirvaso with moisturizer (usually Clinique) for optimal results. It takes the red down to where I look totally normal all day.

DO NOT USE THIS DRUG! Although this drug has good effects for the first 8 hours after being applied, my flushing has become twice as bad once the product wears off. I used to have areas of redness. With Mirvaso applied, they diminish to areas of pink, but once the Mirvaso has worn off, the flushing comes back beet red, to the point of purple. I was so eager to fix my roseacea that I was willing to try anything - now Mirvaso has made the problem even worse, and I am stuck paying a huge price per month to maintain my old status quo.Read More Read Less

First two days were positive then my face erupted worse than ever. Stopped use and called the Dr. No thanks.

Over the past years I have spent thousands of dollars on everything form IPL laser treatments to top of the line skin care products and nothing has managed my rosecea better! I have been using the product for a week now and I feel like a different person. Management of facial redness has certainly given me more confidence!

Went to derm to get a refill for Orecea and he began touting the effectiveness of new topical drug Mirvaso. Was excited about it, although I felt my rosacea was somewhat in check. But I decided to use the samples he gave me. After four days of use I wish I would have never tried it. Later went online and read about rebound redness. It has been terrible the last few days. I'm red and burning in places on my face that were ok in the past. Does anyone have experience with how long the rebound redness will last for? I'm done with the stuff and hope to get back to where I was before trying it.Read More Read Less

I have had bad rosacea and dry skin forever. I got a script for mirvaso after it came out in the fall. I read the reviews and saw that some patients had problems with it. I really kept up with my other rosacea medicines (metrogel and finacea and moisturizers)when I started using it. I usually put it on along with metrogel after I get to work and it is fabulous. NO MORE RED for most of the day.

Used Mirvaso for 3 days. Was surprised at how much my redness went away at first. After it wore of on the third day my face turned bright red and felt very hot and flushed. I do not experience flushing with my rosacea just permanent redness. It was awful. The flushing happened off and on for a few more days before subsiding. I'm thankfully back to normal but will not be using mirvaso again.

Mirvaso has really helped me. Been using it since Thanksgiving. My doctor has me mixing it with metrogel before I use it.
