"i was prescribed finacea gel 15% roughly 2 years ago for my acne and perioral dermatitis. it does absolute wonders to reduce the papules and pustules associated with pd. sometimes i&rsquo;ll stop using the finacea and it only takes my skin a week to start breaking out again with horrible puss filled demons. using the finacea consistently keeps these spots at bay but after using for a month straight i tend to get blackheads where i&rsquo;ve applied the gel. for this i use retin-a to increase my skin&rsquo;s turnover. i apply the finacea in the morning, with the retinoid at night. this combination leads to wonderful skin. combine this with any av&egrave;ne moisturizer and you&rsquo;ll be well on your way to perfection."
