I'm a 57 year old male andI've had Rosacea for over 10 years.

In addition, the tetracycline was losing it's effectiveness as indicated by pimples and redness.I started taking a reduced dose of tetrecycline (500 mg once daily) along with ...

Since I turned 55, I've been plague with a few spots of rosacea on my face. Dermatologists has given me MetroGel and other creams to try, but Avar-e cream was the best for my condition. Within the next day of treatment, I saw results. Just wish it didn't cost so much!!

This is the only treatment that worked for me, My dermatologist gave me three different creams to try & Avar-e was, by far, the BEST solution for problem

Prescribed for perioral dermatitis. Told to discontinue use of steroid cream and prescribed doxycycline and avar e. The dermatitis worsened as warned and the avar e seemed to do nothing positive or negative for the condition.

I have been using this product for half year. I personally prefer the gel instead of the cream.

I'm a 57 year old male andI've had Rosacea for over 10 years. I had been treated very successfully with tetracycline (500 mg twice daily)for a long time, but my doctor explained the need to get off the antibiotic eventually. In addition, the tetracycline was losing it's effectiveness as indicated by pimples and redness.I started taking a reduced dose of tetrecycline (500 mg once daily) along with applying Metrogel (1%) twice daily. This had very little impact on my Rosacea. Eventually, I started using Finacea im place of the Metrogel. This also failed to control my Rosacea. This change in treatment had been going on for over a year when I was switched to AVAR-E twice daily while continuing with the reduced tetracycline. The result were fantastic. Within several days, I could see positive results. After several weeks, the result were dramatic. Now, after taking AVAR-E for 7 weeks, my Rosacea is virtually gone. There is very little noticable redness and no pimples at all. Over the last 2 weeks, I have switched from tetracycline to doxycycline (20 mg twice daily) and my face is still completely clearRead More Read Less

My doctor put me on Avar-e emollient cream because I'm allergic to salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, the other most common acne medications. It was a little slow to work at first, but once it kicked in it worked great. I have now been using it for three or four years, and it still works for me. I love it! :) The only drawback I have found is that it can be difficult to find sometimes. Walgreen's has been the best so far for me.

I had been using another ointment, which didn't help much at all. Since using AVAR-e I only have had to use it a few times. Now I find my pharmacy Walgreen's apparently can't get it, they said they would get me something else to use that is like this drug.
