How Does it Work
Oxymetazoline HCl 0.06% Topical Cream works by decreasing the size of the blood vessels in the facial area affected by rosacea, thus reducing redness and skin flushing. It is an alpha-1 agonist, which works by stimulating alpha-1 receptors on blood vessels and thus constricting them. This decrease in vessel size leads to improved symptoms of rosacea, such as inflammation and redness. This particular cream also contains other ingredients, such as glycerin and glycolic acid, that help to hydrate and nourish the skin and reduce sensitivity, ultimately alleviating symptoms of rosacea. It is applied to the affected area up to twice daily and the effects are usually seen within one to two weeks of treatment. It is important to note that Oxymetazoline HCl 0.06% Topical Cream may not be effective for everyone, and side effects, though rare, could include itching, redness, or stinging at the application site.
