Finacea Gel is a treatment for mild to moderate acne and rosacea that you put straight onto your skin—also called a topical treatment. It brings down the inflammation causing your spots or redness. It’s most efficient against bacterial acne, as it can also kill the bacteria causing the red, inflamed patches of skin.
Finacea Gel is a topical treatment containing 15% of the active ingredient azelaic acid. Azelaic acid is one of a type of medication called dicarboxylic acids. It kills the bacteria on your skin, so it works well to treat bacterial acne. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help with disorders like acne, rosacea and melasma.
The azelaic acid in Finacea Gel also creates hypopigmentation. It does this by binding to an enzyme called tyrosinase and stopping it from working as well. This means it’s an effective treatment for the symptoms of melasma as well as other causes of hyperpigmentation. [1] So if you have any of these conditions, Finacea Gel can help.
It only comes in one dose, a gel with 15% of azelaic acid. You’ll usually use it twice a day on the areas of your skin that are affected. 0.5g of gel, or about an inch, is usually enough to cover the whole of your face.
If this amount isn’t working well enough to treat your acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation or melasma, talk to your clinician. You may need to apply it more often, or they may suggest different, more effective treatments for you. Make sure to keep using it as long as your clinician says to see an improvement.
Finacea Gel comes in 30g packages. Besides azelaic acid, which is the active ingredient, the pack also contains other ingredients like benzoic acid, carbomers, disodium edetate, propylene glycol, lecithin, polysorbate 80, sodium hydroxide, triglycerides medium chain, purified water.

When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from.

Follow your clinician’s advice on how exactly to use Finacea Gel.
How long you take Finacea Gel for will depend on your symptoms and what you’re using it for. Medications containing azelaic acid are often long-term treatments and you’ll usually use Finacea Gel for a few months. If you’re using the gel to treat acne, you’ll usually see a significant improvement by four weeks. If it hasn’t gotten better after this time, you should stop using Finacea Gel and try a different treatment.
If you’ve been using Finacea Gel for rosacea, your skin will often look a lot better after four weeks. If you’ve been using it for two months and there’s no change, try a different medication. For hyperpigmentation and melasma, a clinician will tell you how long to use Finacea Gel. Because it’s an off-label medication for hyperpigmentation and melasma, a clinician will need to find the right treatment plan for you.
Make sure you don’t get Finacea Gel in your nose, eyes or mouth. If you do, wash it out thoroughly with clean water. If you get any symptoms, seek medical attention. If you use too much Finacea Gel, there shouldn’t be any problems. Just clean off any excess gel and talk to a clinician if you’re worried.
If you forget to use Finacea Gel, just apply it as soon as you remember. If it’s nearly time to use Finacea Gel again, just skip that application and wait for the next one. Then keep using Finacea Gel at your usual times. If you have any questions and you’ve ordered Finacea Gel through us, you can just log into your account and message one of our clinicians.
