Soolantra Cream – Product Description
1. Product Overview
Soolantra Cream (Ivermectin 1%) is a prescription-based topical treatment used for managing the inflammatory lesions of rosacea—specifically papules and pustules.
This listing features the Middle East version, packaged with Arabic-language labeling, but manufactured in France by Galderma. Each tube contains 30g of ivermectin 1% cream.
It is suitable for adults experiencing persistent inflammatory rosacea and looking for a clinically proven, gentle, once-daily treatment.
2. What Is Soolantra Cream?
Definition
Soolantra is a once-daily topical prescription medication containing ivermectin 1% (10 mg/g). It is FDA-approved and widely used across dermatology clinics for rosacea management.
Indication
Soolantra is indicated for treating inflammatory lesions—including papules and pustules—associated with rosacea in adults.
It does not treat redness (erythema) alone, but many patients see overall skin improvement over time.
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Soolantra works through two primary pathways:
-
Anti-Parasitic Action
Ivermectin targets Demodex mites, microscopic organisms found in higher numbers on rosacea-affected skin. Many dermatologists believe Demodex overgrowth contributes to inflammation. -
Anti-Inflammatory Action
Ivermectin helps reduce inflammatory cytokines in the skin, calming redness, swelling, and pustules.
Together, these effects help restore clearer, calmer skin with consistent daily use.
