What is Finacea Plus?
Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid. It helps the skin to renew itself more quickly and therefore reduces pimple and blackhead formation. It also helps to kill the bacteria that cause acne and rosacea.
Finacea Plus (for the skin) is used to treat acne and rosacea.
Finacea Plus may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
