How it works
Metronidazole has anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic (targeting Demodex mites), and mild antimicrobial properties. Its primary benefit in rosacea appears to be anti-inflammatory.
May cause mild irritation. Full benefit takes up to 3 months. Less effective for flushing and background redness than for papules and pustules.
Medical guidance
This remedy requires a prescription or pharmacist consultation in Australia. Speak to your GP or pharmacist before use.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
