Soolantra Cream

Soolantra 0.75% Cream

Soolantra Cream is a prescription-only treatment for various types of rosacea, especially effective in cases of papulopustular rosacea (type 2), characterized by spots on a background of persistent redness. The active ingredient, ivermectin, targets demodex mites, thought to exacerbate rosacea symptoms, while also providing anti-inflammatory benefits to reduce redness and inflammatory spots. Applied once daily at night, Soolantra works gradually, showing results within days to weeks, with optimal benefits often seen after three months of continuous use.

Key Benefits:

• Effectively reduces common rosacea symptoms, including persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and inflammatory spots.
• Targets demodex mites that contribute to rosacea, providing both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
• Nearly 40% of users experience clear or almost-clear skin after three months of regular use.
• More effective than Rozex Gel (metronidazole) with a lower incidence of side effects.
• Can be combined with oral treatments such as Efracea for enhanced results in more severe cases.

Dosage & Usage:

• Soolantra Cream: Apply a thin layer to affected areas once daily, preferably in the evening.

Duration:

Many users notice improvements within a few weeks; however, consistent use for at least three months is recommended for maximum benefits.
