Metrogel Review

Metrogel is a prescription antibiotic meant to mainly treat rosacea, though in pill form it can also be used to treat infections in other areas of the body and otherwise. It comes in cream and gel forms and can treat chronic redness, bumps, and irritated eyes, cheeks, nose, chin, or otherwise areas that might be afflicted by the bacteria suspected of being responsible for rosacea.

Metrogel Side By Side Comparison

The Good

They have various uses for it, and it has been known to clear up rosacea in some cases. Otherwise, it would not actually be a prescription. It decimates bacteria that could also be associated with acne, and therefore it has greater potential in general terms.

The Bad

Metrogel can actually cause some of the redness, peeling, irritation, and sensitivity commonly associated with rosacea itself. It also causes obviously side effects commonly associated with other harsh treatments, which is never a good thing. There are plenty of antibacterials and otherwise that do not cause these problems.

The Skinny

We would not recommend using Metrogel. It doesn't really have the right ingredients, and it doesn't have the right method of action to get rid of acne in general, let alone acne rosacea. This formula will not help you, and you would be far better off finding something else that would work.
