Maximum age: N/A.
Gender(s): Both.

greater than 10,000 units/day (multivitamins are allowed) within the 6 months prior
to the baseline visit.
5. Use of the following within 1 month prior to the baseline visit:
- Topical Retinoids to the face
- Systemic antibiotics known to have an impact on the severity of facial Rosacea
- Systemic Steroids
6. The use of anticoagulant therapy within 14 days prior to baseline.
7. The use of any antipruritics, including antihistamines within 24 hours of any study
visits.
8. History of blood dyscrasia.
9. Ocular rosacea (e. g., conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis) of sufficient severity
to require topical or systemic antibiotics.

months of the Baseline visit (this includes hormonal contraceptives).
14. Use of high strength (20% or above) alpha-hydroxy acid for facial peel or any type of
