In the NRS survey of 1,391 rosacea patients, only 44 percent said their rosacea first appeared between the ages of 30 and 50, while 39 percent reported that the disorder occurred after age 50 and an additional 17 percent said they developed rosacea prior to age 30.

Solagé Topical Solution is the only FDA approved combination skin lightening agent that does not contain hydroquinone.
