What Is Finacea?
Finacea (azelaic acid) is a prescription medication used to manage rosacea. It works by reducing the proliferation of skin bacteria, suppressing abnormal keratinization, and decreasing the production of inflammatory mediators that contribute to rosacea lesions. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients see meaningful improvement in redness and lesion count within a few weeks of consistent use.

Is Online Finacea Treatment Right for You?
Doctronic connects adults who have rosacea with licensed physicians who can evaluate whether Finacea (azelaic acid) is the right treatment for their skin. Our physicians review your symptom history, current skin condition, and any prior treatments before prescribing.
Because rosacea can overlap with other skin conditions and may affect different body systems, our physicians also consider your overall skin health history, triggers such as UV exposure or skin sensitivity, and any medications you are currently taking that could interact with topical treatments.

Frequently asked questions
Finacea is a 15% azelaic acid gel applied topically to the face twice daily. It works by reducing bacterial growth on the skin, normalizing keratinization, and lowering production of inflammatory substances that cause the redness, bumps, and pustules associated with rosacea.
Most patients begin to notice improvement in papules and pustules within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Full benefit is typically seen after 12 weeks of treatment. Redness and flushing may improve more gradually than individual lesions.
The most frequently reported side effects are mild and local: burning, stinging, or tingling at the application site, especially in the first few weeks. Dryness, peeling, and itching can also occur. These effects often diminish as the skin adjusts. Severe allergic reactions are rare but warrant immediate medical attention.
Finacea can be used alongside other topical rosacea treatments in some cases, but you should always tell your physician about all prescription and over-the-counter products you use. Harsh cleansers, alcohol-based toners, and exfoliants can worsen irritation when used with azelaic acid. Your physician will guide you on a safe regimen.
Rosacea itself is frequently triggered or worsened by sun exposure, and azelaic acid does not provide UV protection. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is strongly recommended while on Finacea. Avoiding known rosacea triggers such as heat, alcohol, and spicy foods also supports better outcomes.
Azelaic acid is classified as FDA Pregnancy Category B, meaning animal studies have not shown fetal harm, but adequate human studies are limited. Topical absorption is low. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, discuss the risks and benefits with your physician before starting Finacea.
