Short answer

Use Soolantra exactly as prescribed on clean, dry facial skin, keeping it away from the eyes, lips, and broken skin.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

What correct use involves

Soolantra is a topical ivermectin cream prescribed for certain inflammatory facial skin conditions. More product does not make it work faster and may increase irritation. The treated area, frequency, and duration belong to your prescription, because the plan depends on your diagnosis and skin tolerance. Improvement can be gradual, so early dryness or mild irritation should be discussed rather than interpreted alone.

Application steps

Wash your face with a gentle cleanser, pat dry, and wait until the skin is dry. Apply the prescribed thin layer to the facial areas identified by your clinician, then wash your hands. Let it absorb before applying other products, unless you were given a different order. Avoid scrubs, fragranced irritants, and contact with eyes or mouth. If you miss an application, follow the label or ask your pharmacist instead of doubling the next one.

When to seek care

Ask for advice if burning, swelling, rash, or worsening redness persists. Rinse the eyes with clean water if cream enters them and seek urgent care for eye pain or vision change. Get emergency help for facial swelling with breathing or swallowing difficulty.

Questions for your doctor

Confirm how much to apply, which areas to avoid, when to use moisturiser or cosmetics, and what to do after a missed application.

Questions people ask

Can I apply Soolantra after moisturiser?

Use the order recommended by your clinician or pharmacist, since product layering can affect irritation and comfort.

Can I use it on acne spots elsewhere?

Only apply it to the areas included in your prescription; a separate rash needs its own assessment.
