Most know I am not a big fan of Finacea at 15% or 20% active ingredient. This is much too high for sensitive rosacea skin. In Finacea's own clinical studies over 30% of testers dropped out due to redness, burning, stinging and scaling reactions....in most studies, this high drop out rate would have cancelled the product alltogether.

Finacea is effective at 5% to 7.5%. At this level it is anti-inflammatory and works on papule and pustules. You don't need 15% and an acclimation period.

Finacea and Green Tea Combo Treatment:

I would suggest adding a dime-size amount of Finacea in the palm of your hand with a dime-size amount of Replenix Green Tea Serum CF and mix them together.... then apply to affected areas. This decreases the azelaic acid by half and adds an excellent anti-inflammatory with Replenix 90% Green Tea Isolates and calming topical caffeine. Thus, there should be no stinging, burning or reactive redness.
