Finacea Frequently Asked Questions

Apply this medication on your face as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily. To avoid irritation, avoid contact with your eyes or inside the nose or mouth. If you accidentally get this medication in your eyes, flush well with cool water. Call your doctor if eye irritation does not go away.

Before use, wash the affected area with a mild soap or soap-free cleanser and pat dry. Avoid using other skin care products that may irritate your skin, such as astringents, abrasives, tinctures, cleansers that contain alcohol, and products that cause skin peeling. Shake the container well before each use. Use your fingers to apply a thin layer of medication over your whole face (cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose) and gently massage the foam into your skin. Wash your hands after each use. Makeup may be applied after the medication has dried.

Do not use any dressing or covering on the treated area unless directed by your doctor.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day. Do not use more of this medication or use this drug more often or for longer than prescribed. Your skin will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.

Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better after 12 weeks or if it gets worse.
