For Rosacea “I read all the reviews hopeful I wouldn’t be one of the ones with awful side effects! DO NOT use Mirvaso! The first day it was like a magic cream and the redness was gone for 10 hours. Second day about 6 hours and then my face would be redder than when I applied it. After a week of use I decided to not even use it and my face has been bright red and swollen and I have had a headache all day! My face feels like it is on fire! Nothing I do works to calm it and it is only getting worse not better. I will NEVER use Mirvaso again! Don’t use this awful cream!”

For Rosacea “This stuff is almost $500.00! Thought it made my flushing more intense, LIKE A LOT, and I was correct. I stopped using it, then thought, probably just my imagination, so after all winter and regular flushing, mild to moderate, on occasion…Now I look like I’ve been drinking, fighting and using a treadmill close to a fire. No bueno!”

For Rosacea “This drug has changed my life. My nose has extreme flushing and since I started this product a week ago I have not flushed once even after I take a shower at night it seems like the product is still working. I have permanent redness on the side of my nose that comes back after 6 hours but nothing a little concealer can’t hide.”

For Rosacea “I was told I had very mild rosacea by my dermatologist at the beginning of 2017. I started using this product, and for the first 6 months, it was amazing! I thought I had found a miracle cream. Starting in the fall however, everything went downhill. My face started getting dark red/purple at around noon (about 5 hours after I applied Mirvaso). About a month later, the burning started. My face would get so hot, it felt like it was on fire. I saw a different dermatologist and they told me I probably just had dry skin. This was not the case. It is now February 2018 and I just figured out about 3 days ago that Mirvaso is what has been causing this. It worked for me for so long, so I don’t know what caused the side effects to start happening. This is my third day without using it, and I still haven’t noticed any difference. My face is still red and burning. I hope this product hasn’t cause any permanent damage to my skin. Please do not buy it.”

For Rosacea “I was worried when I read the reviews but I have not had any bad experiences with this medication. I use it everyday but sparingly. I go through one container in about 4 months. Possibly these users with bad side effects are using too much? This product has changed my life. I highly recommend trying it.”

For Rosacea “This product is a nightmare. The first day, yes, it did reduce redness. The next day, I noticed a red blotchy patches where I had applied the Mirvaso and they haven’t gone away for several days. This is not my normal redness, and I am 100% sure it is a direct result of the Mirvaso because the blotches are exactly where I applied it. This product should not even be on the market- it does the exact opposite of what it’s supposed to do.”
