Pros

Reviews
- From acne, blackheads, rosacea and other "nasty things" a cream containing metronidazole is excellent. But it is worth remembering that without an integrated approach, the effect will be less pronounced.
- To get rid of acne, you must follow a diet and limit yourself to sweets.
- An important factor is the lack of stress. With strong nervous tension, it is difficult to get rid of rashes, even when using the drug Rozeks.
- The consistency of the cream is very pleasant. Girls using it noted the absence of the effect of heaviness on the face and excellent absorbency. It is possible to apply decorative cosmetics over the cream.
Cons
Among the disadvantages, many users noted the high price of the drug. In this regard, they preferred the use of analogues at a better price than Rozex cream. Feedback from people also notes the need to apply a moisturizer after applying the drug, as it causes a feeling of dryness. Many more were confused by the antibiotic - metronidazole, which is part of the drug. ATdue to this, some users refused to use it and returned to skin treatment already in a neglected state.
A small number of reviews indicate that there was no effect from the use of Rozex, and the skin condition only worsened. In any case, with individual intolerance to the drug and its ineffectiveness, the drug should be replaced with another drug. Some of the reviews indicate that Rozex is not sold in all pharmacies, and sometimes it is difficult to find it.
Dermatologists about Rozex
Doctors and cosmetologists in the treatment of acne have achieved quite good results, based on research in this area. According to experts, both anaerobic and aerobic bacteria are responsible for the formation of acne. Metronidazole only works on some of these, so a combination therapy with constant use of exfoliators and sebum control is required to completely eliminate the rash.
In severe cases of the disease, antibacterial drugs are used, such as Rozeks. Reviews of doctors claim that such drugs are effective only for short-term treatment, which is used to quickly improve a difficult situation. For complex therapy, retinoids, Baziron cream or gel, azelaic acid and zinc are used. After the course of treatment, supportive drugs are prescribed to consolidate the result. In the future, the use of antibacterial agents is possible only with a sudden relapse.
The effect of the drug in the treatmentacne breakouts
It is very important for every woman to look attractive and like herself, which is why so much time is devoted to facial beauty. Unfortunately, a dermatologist or a cosmetologist is not addressed immediately. More often, they come to see a doctor already when the person is in a neglected state. Patients complain of profuse red rashes, painful bumps, and acne that does not go away. In such cases, the doctor conducts complex therapy, which includes Rozeks ointment.
Reviews about individual treatment are mostly positive. After the start of the use of medications, 6-9 weeks should pass. That's when you can talk about the results. Usually during this time, large acne dries up and redness disappears. Most often, a complete cure is not observed, but the visible result is clearly visible. The “before” and “after” photos speak of the correctness of the choice of therapeutic tactics. It is on them that most users are guided when choosing a cosmetology clinic.
Consequences of improper treatment
When using the drug on its own, you can get the opposite effect to the expected one, so you should carefully consider the words of the doctor and do not use Rozex cream without prescribing. Reviews warn that otherwise itching and red spots may appear. You can also not apply the cream in a thick layer, hoping that it will be more effective. It is advisable not to use the drug more than 2 times a day, unless otherwise prescribed by a dermatologist or cosmetologist.
Overdose of the cream may cause adverse reactions such as a metallic taste in the mouth, nausea and headache. When using the cream for more than 9 weeks, you should regularly see a cosmetologist, since long-term treatment with antibacterial agents is likely to be superfluous for the body. After completing a course of therapy with Rozeks, reviews advise choosing daily care for the face without metronidazole in order to maintain the results achieved.
Conclusion
Prescribing any drug is a very important and responsible step. Without a medical education, it is difficult to find a really effective medicine. Self-administration of serious antibacterial drugs is very undesirable, so you should consult with specialists before using Rozex cream. Reviews, although they reflect the opinion of the majority, do not give a complete picture of the treatment, since complex therapy is selected strictly individually.
