Abstract
Oxymetazoline 1% cream (Rhofade™) is a topical α1A-agonist approved to treat persistent facial erythema associated with rosacea in adults in the USA. It relieves the redness of affected skin by inducing vasoconstriction in the superficial skin vasculature. In clinical trials, application of oxymetazoline cream for up to 1 year was effective and generally well tolerated in rosacea patients with persistent erythema, with a low incidence of application-site reactions and rebound erythema.
