Calming Rosacea Cream
A topical formula combining azelaic acid, ivermectin and metronidazole, three different mechanisms for persistent redness, flushing and rosacea-prone skin, in one nightly cream.
This is a compounded preparation made by a licensed pharmacy. It is not FDA-approved, and it is prescribed only when a licensed provider determines it is appropriate for you.

Your consult is free. We will not prescribe this, or anything, before a clinician has spoken with you. Final cost depends on the form and dose prescribed.
Mechanism
Three pathways, one cream.
Azelaic acid reduces inflammation and normalizes skin cell turnover, addressing both the redness and the bumps that often accompany rosacea.
Ivermectin has anti-inflammatory activity and targets Demodex mites, which are found in higher numbers on rosacea-prone skin and are thought to contribute to flare-ups. Metronidazole is a first-line topical antibiotic and anti-inflammatory specifically studied for rosacea.
Together, the three actives address both the inflammatory and vascular components of persistent redness, rather than relying on a single mechanism.
Safety and eligibility
Your consult and labs screen for all of the following.
- Initial irritation, mild stinging, dryness or redness is common in the first one to two weeks as skin adjusts.
- Sun sensitivity, use daily sunscreen, as treated skin can be more sensitive to sun exposure.
- Not a cure, rosacea is a chronic condition managed rather than cured; most patients continue a maintenance routine.
