Buy Soolantra Cream 1% (Ivermectin 10mg/g) for Rosacea Bumps & Spots

Description

Soolantra is a prescription-only topical cream for adults with papulopustular rosacea (rosacea with inflamed bumps and pustules). It contains ivermectin 10 mg/g (1%), which helps reduce inflammation and targets Demodex mites that can aggravate rosacea in some people. Soolantra is applied once daily as a thin layer across the face using five pea-sized amounts.

At a glance

What Soolantra treats (and when it may not be enough)

• Best suited to rosacea with bumps and spots (papules and pustules).
• May also help redness linked to inflammation, but it is not a dedicated ‘anti-redness’ vasoconstrictor.
• If your main symptom is persistent flushing/redness without bumps, a clinician may consider other options (e.g., brimonidine gel) alongside trigger control.

How Soolantra works

Ivermectin has anti-inflammatory activity and antiparasitic effects against Demodex mites. In rosacea, reducing mite-related inflammation can lower the number of inflammatory lesions and improve overall symptom control. Some patients can experience a temporary worsening early in treatment, which may be related to a reaction to dying mites.

How to use Soolantra Cream (dosage and application)

1. Cleanse the face gently and pat dry.
2. Apply a pea-sized amount to each of the five areas: forehead, chin, nose, and each cheek.
3. Spread as a thin, even layer across the entire face.
4. Avoid eyelids, eyes, lips, and any mucosa (inside the nose or mouth).
5. Wash hands after applying.
6. If you use moisturiser or makeup, apply only after the cream has dried.

Use Soolantra once daily only. Consistency matters: apply it at roughly the same time each day.

How long should you use Soolantra?

Soolantra is used once daily for up to 4 months. If there is no improvement after 3 months, treatment should be stopped and reviewed. If you respond well, a clinician may advise repeating a treatment course if symptoms return.

What to expect in the first 1-2 weeks

• Some people get transient aggravation (temporary worsening) of rosacea, often resolving within about a week if treatment is continued.
• If you experience severe worsening with a strong skin reaction, stop treatment and seek medical advice.
• Keep the routine simple: gentle cleanser, Soolantra, moisturiser after drying, and daily sunscreen (non-irritating).

Who should NOT use Soolantra (or needs advice first)

Do not use Soolantra if:

• You are allergic to ivermectin or any ingredients in the cream.

Speak to a prescriber before use if you:

• Are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding (Soolantra is not recommended in pregnancy).
• Have severe liver problems (caution may be needed).
• Take medicines that strongly inhibit CYP3A4 (rarely relevant for topical use, but mention during your consultation).

Possible side effects

Most side effects are local and mild to moderate. The most commonly reported reactions (in 1% or fewer of users) include:

• Skin burning sensation.
• Skin irritation.
• Itching (pruritus).
• Dry skin.

These reactions often decrease with continued use. Stop and seek medical advice if you develop severe swelling, widespread rash, or a severe worsening of rosacea with a strong skin reaction.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Soolantra is not recommended during pregnancy. For breastfeeding, a clinician will weigh the benefits of treatment against the benefits of breastfeeding, because a risk to the infant cannot be excluded.
