Rosacea Treatment Reviews

Metrogel 1% is a commonly prescribed topical gel that is specifically for the treatment of rosacea. Metrogel 1% is often recommended by dermatologists for rosacea patients, as a way to control this incurable condition. Metronidazole is the active ingredient in this product and is an antibiotic also used in treating other types of skin infections. The dosage in Metrogel1% is the highest available on the market. It reduces the inflammation, redness and bumps common to Rosacea.

Ingredients
In addition to the active ingredient metronidazole, Metrogel also exclusively contains HSA-3™, which is a combination of the products betadex, propylene glycol and vitamin B3, also known as niacinamide. These ingredients as well as a gel, which is 92% water-based is what makes up Metrogel 1%. The gel not only provides easy application but helps your skin absorb the medicinal properties of the treatment.

Advantages for users of Metrogel 1%

• It is only applied once daily.
• The gentle gel formula is soft on the skin and is easy to apply.
• It has no drying agents such as alcohol.
• There is scientific proof that Metrogel 1% does not promote moisture loss or cause damage to the skin’s outer layer.

The downside of Metrogel 1% is the fact that it takes a doctor’s prescription to get it. For those without insurance or with tiered drug coverage, Metrogel is often out of their price range.
Product Rating Summary

Good product, but not as accessible as others. May be pricey depending on patient’s healthcare insurance.
