Summary

This study looked at whether using a moisturizer before applying metronidazole cream changes how much of the medicine gets into the skin of people with rosacea. Twenty-one adults had different moisturizers and the medicine applied to their face, then had skin tape strips taken at 1 and 4 hours to measure drug levels. The goal is to understand if the common practice of layering moisturizer affects treatment.
