My dermatologist advised me to proceed slowly with this gel, adding a small amount more per day to my regular rosacea moisturizer. Even a small amount immediately cleared up my redness for almost the whole day. I have been very happy with it. For anyone having problems, try this "go slow" method that my doctor told me about.

I just discovered this medicine. My dermatologist gave me a sample, and the first two days were great, but the next two not so much. It is great in the morning, but then by early afternoon, my face is more red than it originally was, and it's really warm. I'm trying to decide if I should continue, as I'm hoping this is just my skin getting used to it? Anyone else experience this as the medi...

I have been using this medicine for about three weeks...my rosacea was not that bad but my derm gave it to me because he noticed my nose was a tiny bit red. Started using it and all of sudden, I have been having TERRIBLE flushing....I rarely had this at all before. I don't think I will use it again....hiding it with makeup will serve me better than looking like I just came from the beach in the burning sun....

I tried Mirvaso because of chronic flushing (face & ears). The rebound flushing I have experienced looks horrible and feels even worse as my face and ears become extremely hot. I haven't tried mixing it with moisturizer, I was applying moisturizer 30 minutes later. If I can work up the nerve to try it again, I'll mix it with moisturizer. Need to wait until the burning subsides - can't wait to get back to my normal misery!

I have type I rosacea and this product has significantly reduced my facial redness and itching. It is a really good product for my type of rosacea.

I've been satisfied with Mirvaso for the past month I've been using it; however, I am now noticing my skin is burning and VERY dry in the evenings. Haven't combined it with moisturizer so will be trying that now! Overall, I believe it is great for reducing my redness during the day.

Mirvaso is actually the only thing that really works for the redness, the only thing is that it does not work for the acne (if you have the acne caused from the rosacea problem) for the acne I am trying finacea.

I got a prescription for Mirvaso from my doctor about 3 weeks ago. Nothing has ever helped my rosacea so I was very skeptical. He said that he read online that many people were mixing it with moisturizer before using it so that's how I started using it. It works incredibly well and I have had absolutely no problems. I never thought there would be anything that could help me until now.

I've had a very good experience with Mirvaso. I've had rosacea for several years and its the only drug that has helped my appearance. I did take someone else's advice online and I dilute it a little before I put it on. It really does work!!

Overall, mirvaso works great to get rid of redness when I need to look my best. I get a little bit of stinging as it wears off. Not bad though. Better than having a red, flushed face all day.

I really like Mirvaso. Like many other people on forums, I've found that alone, it is a little strong for my skin and I find that I have to mix it with lotions moisturizers, etc before putting it on to prevent irritation. Overall, it works great. It truly is a miracle drug that allows me to look my very best for work and social events.

Used Mirvaso for 5 days as prescribed, small amount of cream around my nose and cheeks. Helped initially, making my skin less red, but after 5 days had terrible flushing, redness, burning and swelling. While the worst of this has subsided, my skin is definitely worse off than before I tried this drug. Only 5 days of use has progressed my rosacea considerably. I will never touch this stuff again.

I’ve been using Mirvaso mixed with a moisturizer (1 part mirvaso with 3 parts moisturizer) and it’s worked great. Someone on a different thread mentioned using benedryl cream. So I switched to mixing together 1 part Mirvaso, 2 parts moisturizer and 1 part benedryl before I apply it. The combination works great. Give it a try. i think you’ll agree. Good luck!!

Been using Mirvaso since it came out. I'm in sales and it really helps with my appearance when dealing with customers. My advice to anyone starting to use it is "less is more". It has become part of my daily routine and has helped my career.

Started using Mirvaso about 6 weeks ago. Really helps with my facial redness. Works right away. Noticed some irritation for the first week or 2 but that went away. Doing great now.

Been using Mirvaso for about a month. My face was a little red at first, but with continued use, that went away. I use it most days, but sometimes take a day off.
