clinical benefits, it can complicate treatment regimens to the potential detriment of patient compliance. An all-in-one approach to treatment with a structured and defined regimen is helpful in encouraging optimal compliance and, ultimately, optimal efficacy, tolerability, and satisfaction too.

The rosacea treatment system offers a convenient all-in-one approach to treating rosacea that appears to be more effective and better tolerated than metronidazole 0.75% plus the standard skin care regimen used in this study.

DISCLOSURES

This study was funded by OMP, Inc. and Dr. Leyden has been an investigator and consultant for OMP, Inc.
