1st Picture: Before Mirvaso. 2nd: When Mirvaso was working. 3rd: After it wore off or during a flare-up.
Mirvaso works... at first. I had extremely MILD redness in my T-zone and I thought I'd try something to get rid of it. Although it made my skin look like Snowwhite during the day, as soon as it wore off (anywhere from 5-8 hours), i got horrendous rebound redness. There were days that it looked like I had a chemical burn on my face. The only discomfort I experienced was the intense heat from my skin during times of flare-ups...which was practically daily.
NOTE: I showed my dermatologist pictures of the terrible redness after about 6 months to a year, and she told me: "You just have sensitive capillary beds." (Not true!)
Please keep track and be mindful of your own skin! My skin was not bad before this treatment and after I discontinued it, my skin almost has returned to normal. I no longer get crazy flare-ups when I have a glass of wine, take a hot bath, or lay outside (with a sunhat mind you). This medication is not worth the 400 dollars for 50% of the time whiteness.
If you have bad rosacea on a few areas of your face, this might be the medication for you:) But for someone with sensitive skin and extremely mild redness -- Look elsewhere!
