Description
What is Finacea 15% Gel?
Finacea 15% Gel is a topical treatment containing azelaic acid, specifically formulated to manage mild to moderate rosacea and acne. Its active ingredient, azelaic acid, is known for its ability to address redness, bumps, and pustules on the skin. The gel's lightweight formula is designed to be absorbed quickly, making it suitable for daily use on sensitive skin types affected by rosacea and acne.
How Does Finacea Work?
Azelaic acid works by reducing inflammation and targeting bacteria on the skin’s surface that contribute to flare-ups. It helps unblock pores, reduces the formation of pimples, and normalizes skin cell production. By inhibiting the growth of keratin surface skin cells that can block pores, Finacea not only addresses current breakouts but also helps prevent future blemishes. With regular use, the gel alleviates redness, minimizes swelling, and improves the overall texture of the skin, promoting a clearer complexion over time.
