ALWAYS READ THE LABEL. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. INCORRECT USE COULD BE HARMFUL. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, SEE YOUR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.Ingredients The active substance is azelaic acid (Each gram of Finacea contains 150 mg of azelaic acid).
The other ingredients are: Benzoic acid (E210), carbomers, disodium edetate, lecithin, polysorbate 80, propylene glycol, purified water, sodium hydroxide and triglycerides medium chain.
Direction Before Finacea is applied, the skin should be cleaned with water, or with a mild skin-cleansing agent.
It should be applied to the affected areas of the skin morning and night and should be used regularly over several months. This dosage may be modified by your doctor or pharmacist.
Use of Finacea more than twice daily will not increase its effectiveness and could cause irritation.
Massaged into the skin gently until it vanishes.
Finacea should be applied sparingly (approximately 0.5g, equivalent to a 2.5cm strip of gel is sufficient for the entire facial area).
The length of time that Finacea needs to be used will vary from person to person and will also depend on the initial severity of your skin disorder. Improvement is usually noticed within 1-2 months of use, but to obtain the best results.
The gel should be used regularly over several months. Whilst in most cases you will not need to use Finacea for more than 6 months, it may be used for longer periods, and may also be reused after a period of stopping.
