Me too!


I will add that most topicals can be drying, so it's important to use moisturizer. I've not heard anyone say to be careful which moisturizer. I would think any gentle, good quality moisturizer that your face tolerates would be fine.

My derm recommended I mix a pea sized amount of Finacea with my regular cream (I use Aveeno Baby) and put that mixture on my face.

She said doing it that way lessened the chance of irritation and redness from the Finacea.

She said it works just as well, mixed. She seems to be right, it's working well for me already and it's only been a week.

It may be that your doctor is unaware of the fact that Finacea is also available as Finacea Plus and is packaged together with CeraVe cleanser and moisturizer. It really was a smart idea to use a moisturizer but you don't have to combine them, just follow the directions on Finacea Plus. It definitely helped me.
Good luck.
