Product introduction

Rosanil Cream is a prescription medicine used to treat rosacea, a chronic skin disorder characterized by facial redness and visible blood vessels. It works by narrowing the blood vessels in the skin, which helps to reduce the redness and flushing associated with rosacea.

Apply Rosanil Cream exactly as directed by the doctor for best results. Clean and dry your face before application. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected areas of the face, avoiding the eyes, lips, and mouth. Wash your hands after applying the cream. For maximum benefit, use the cream consistently at the same time each day. Additionally, protect your skin from excessive sun exposure by using sunscreen and wearing protective clothing, as the sun can worsen the symptoms.


Common side effects of Rosanil Cream include mild skin reactions such as itching, redness, or irritation at the application site. These side effects are usually temporary and tend to diminish as your skin adjusts to the treatment. To prevent or reduce irritation, avoid applying the cream to broken or irritated skin. If side effects persist or become bothersome, contact your doctor for advice. They may suggest adjusting the amount of cream you use or the frequency of application.


Before starting treatment with Rosanil Cream, inform your doctor about any other medical conditions you have and any other medications or skincare products you are using, as there could be potential interactions. Do not use Rosanil Cream if you have a known allergy to oxymetazoline or any of the ingredients of the product. Be cautious about using other skin products on the treated areas unless advised by your doctor, as combining products could increase irritation.
