Soolantra is not as good as oral antibiotics (I took Doxicycline for about 8 years for rosacea). But it is the first cream that worked for me. I am sticking with it. BUT! I am using the same drug at, literally, 1/30 the cost. That is, the horse de-worming medicine Ivermectine. It is made to be eaten by horses. I rub about 0.1 grams on my face and it works as well as Soolantra. It is a bit ...
I was prescribed Soolantra for my rosacea by a dermatologist. Within about 3-4 days my skin started hurting when you touched it and became very red and inflammed. By about the 5th day I had tiny hive-like bumps everywhere I had been using the cream. Once it was bad enough I quit applying the cream but the next couple of days the hives did not go away and my lips and tongue started to swell. My PCP...

I am glad I waited until week three to review this drug. At the end of week one I was worse than I had ever been. The end of week two showed a little improvement so I stayed with it. After three weeks it was a dramatic improvement and now in my fourth week my face looks almost symptom free!

Other than the price, this stuff is amazing. For me nothing has come close to being as effective.

I was prescribed this med for acne rosacea. I had a few papules and all over redness when I started the cream. I ised it for a week. My face got really swollen and the papules were huge and took over my whole face. I had never gotten them on my forehead and it was covered. I had pockets of swollen tissue under each eye. I have had to use a steroid cream to get my face under control. The itching and burning was awful.

You have to stick to it. I have been on it for 8 weeks and it has worked well. At first things got worse but now 8 weeks later so much better.

I have noticed a dramatic difference in just one week on Soolantra. All the pimples and papules have dried up,( I had loads of them on my cheeks,nose, forehead, and chin) and no new ones are on the horizon.I have had no side effects. My face looks better than it has in years. I couldn't be more thrilled. Also as part of my routine,I wash my face at night with a sea salt soap to remove make up,etc. and then apply the soolantra.

I used Soolantra for 8 days before giving up. It made my skin burning hot and a whole lot of bumps and pustules cropped up as well as the redness. My dermatologist advised me to stop using it.

Only been using this for 2 days and having problems with it so was checking for other reviews. I applied it at night each time and in the morning I have more pustules than ever! Dryness as well. Not sure I'll continue to use it.

I'm on day 6 using this cream. It has made my face worse than before I started using it. I've heard that it takes time to kick in so I'm going to tough it out for 2 more weeks. Right now I just want to scratch my face so bad.
