Control Rosacea: Expert-Caliber Skincare for Lasting Relief

Struggling with rosacea? This prescription-strength ivermectin and metronidazole formula calms redness, reduces flare-ups, and restores skin balance.

1 Big Thing

Struggling with redness, flare-ups, and irritation that won’t go away? A prescription-strength formula with ivermectin (1%) and metronidazole (1%) is designed to calm inflammation, target rosacea triggers, and restore healthy skin.

Why It Matters

Rosacea isn’t just skin sensitivity—it’s a chronic inflammatory condition that can worsen over time if left untreated. Over-the-counter products can’t effectively reduce the underlying inflammation or treat the microscopic mites that contribute to flare-ups. This dermatologist-trusted formula helps reduce redness, clear breakouts, and soothe irritation for healthier, calmer skin.

Between the Lines

Most standard skincare routines can’t control moderate to severe rosacea. If you’ve tried moisturizers, gentle cleansers, and drugstore creams without success, this advanced prescription treatment provides medical-grade relief.

What Causes Rosacea?

Rosacea is a chronic skin condition that causes persistent facial redness, sensitivity, and flare-ups. The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but key triggers include:

  • Inflammation & Overactive Immune Response – The skin reacts aggressively to mild irritants, leading to redness and swelling.
  • Demodex Mites – These microscopic skin mites live naturally on the face but can multiply excessively in rosacea-prone skin, triggering inflammation.
  • Blood Vessel Dysfunction – Rosacea can cause blood vessels to enlarge, leading to persistent redness and visible veins (telangiectasia).
  • Environmental & Lifestyle Triggers – Hot weather, spicy foods, alcohol, and stress can all trigger flare-ups.

👉 Rosacea isn’t just redness—it’s an inflammatory condition that requires targeted treatment to calm flare-ups and restore skin balance.

How the Ivermectin + Metronidazole Formula Works

This prescription-only topical treatment combines two clinically proven ingredients to reduce redness, fight inflammation, and restore skin health.

Key Ingredients & Their Role

1. Ivermectin (1%) – The Anti-Inflammatory & Anti-Mite Agent

Ivermectin is an antiparasitic and anti-inflammatory ingredient that works by:

  • Eliminating excess Demodex mites, reducing one of the key rosacea triggers.
  • Calming the immune response, helping to prevent inflammatory flare-ups.
  • Soothing redness and irritation, leading to clearer, healthier skin.

👉 Unlike OTC treatments, ivermectin directly targets one of the underlying causes of rosacea, not just the symptoms.

2. Metronidazole (1%) – The Anti-Redness & Skin-Calming Agent

Metronidazole is an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medication that works by:

  • Reducing redness and swelling, making skin appear calmer.
  • Fighting inflammatory bacteria, which may worsen rosacea symptoms.
  • Helping prevent future flare-ups, leading to long-term rosacea control.

👉 Metronidazole has been a gold-standard treatment for rosacea for years, and works even better when combined with ivermectin.

Effectiveness & Considerations

  • Targets multiple causes of rosacea—not just surface redness.
  • Works best for inflammatory rosacea, including redness and papules/pustules.
  • Requires consistent use for several weeks to see full benefits.
  • Common side effects: Mild dryness, temporary irritation, or slight skin sensitivity.

👉 Rosacea treatment is a long-term commitment—stopping too soon may cause symptoms to return.

Results Timeline

  • Week 1-2 – Redness begins to reduce, skin feels calmer.
  • Week 3-4 – Flare-ups decrease, inflammation subsides.
  • Week 5-8 – Skin tone appears more even, with significant improvement in redness and breakouts.

👉 Ongoing use helps maintain clear, healthy skin and prevent future flare-ups.

How to Use the Prescription Rosacea Treatment

For best results, follow these application guidelines:

  1. Apply one pump of cream to the affected area once or twice daily.
  2. Use on clean, dry skin before applying moisturizer.
  3. Avoid harsh exfoliants or alcohol-based products, which can trigger irritation.
  4. Use gentle, fragrance-free skincare products to support treatment.
  5. Always wear SPF 30+ daily, as sun exposure worsens rosacea.

👉 Best for: Moderate to severe rosacea with redness, bumps, or persistent flare-ups.
👉 Not for: Extremely sensitive or broken skin—consult your provider for alternative treatments.

Why Choose a Compounded Formula?

Unlike standard rosacea treatments, this custom-compounded prescription formula is:

  • Stronger than OTC creams, providing medical-grade relief.
  • Designed specifically for inflammatory rosacea, not just general redness.
  • Prescribed by medical professionals, ensuring safety and effectiveness.

👉 This treatment requires a prescription, which Well Revolution can provide.

What Are the Alternatives?

If you’re considering other rosacea treatments, options include:

  • Azelaic Acid – Helps with redness but may not be strong enough for severe cases.
  • Oral Antibiotics (Doxycycline) – Can help reduce flare-ups but may cause digestive side effects.
  • Brimonidine (Mirvaso) Gel – Reduces redness by shrinking blood vessels but is a temporary fix.
  • Laser Treatments – Target broken blood vessels but can be costly and require multiple sessions.

👉 For most people, a prescription topical formula is the best first-line treatment before considering stronger alternatives.
