Success stories with MetroGel topical treatment for rosacea

SUCCESSES WITH METROGEL® (metronidazole) GEL, 1%

Inspire others with your own success story here!.
 I am 59 years old and have had acne problems all my life. So when rosacea showed up about 7 years ago, I faced yet another skin challenge. The new METROGEL® 1% has been a godsend in that it allows me to be more compliant with my skin care regimen. It has replaced MetroLotion that must be used twice daily. Not only do I now have one less "thing" to do, but the new METROGEL® 1% has improved the condition of my skin and decreased the redness as well. I am very, very pleased with the outcome. After using METROGEL® 1% for only one month - my skin is looking good and I have had no major outbreaks. Nice, effective product that delivers what it promises.

After 4 years of using METROGEL® to successfully control my rosacea, my dermatologist switched me to the new 1% formula. I immediately noticed the smoother, silkier texture of the gel. I am getting the same terrific (or better!) results. Having to apply it only once a day is super. Its new moisturizing formula also seems to help control my normally oily skin.

Thank you METROGEL® 1%!

My dermatologist recently gave me a sample of the new METROGEL® 1%. It is absolutely wonderful! I live in Oklahoma where winds and winter can play havoc on rosacea, plus I do kick-boxing (or any strenuous exercise) which often aggravates my rosacea. The new METROGEL® 1% has kept my rosacea under control and is so easy to use -- I put it on before bedtime and am good to go. The following day I use only moisturizer and makeup. The new METROGEL® 1% is lightweight, applies smoothly and easily and goes right to work. For me using the new METROGEL® 1% has allowed me the opportunity to quit focusing on the rosacea as it has quit being a daily problem for me! Plus, in the last month I have received more compliments on how great my skin looks.

Thanks Galderma!

I am 63 years old and have had rosacea for most of my life. Until I tried METROGEL® 1%, the only remedy was a daily dose of antibiotics. I tried and discarded many topical applications due to their being too odorous, too sticky, or nonperforming. Further, most stained clothes and pillowcases. METROGEL® is the first product that I have used which has allowed me to practically discontinue use of the antibiotics. A great product!
