Yes, you can apply moisturizer or makeup after using Soolantra. But you need to make sure the Soolantra cream has dried completely before using these products.
Soolantra itself contains moisturizers. The cream consists of the active drug ivermectin as well as a “vehicle” cream that the ivermectin is mixed in. This vehicle cream acts as a moisturizing base. It includes ingredients, such as glycerin, that moisturize your skin.
You can also use a separate moisturizer. Moisturizing may help prevent flare-ups of rosacea by protecting your skin from triggers such as wind and cold temperatures. (Flare-ups are times when your rosacea gets worse.)
If you decide to use an additional moisturizer, be sure to check the ingredients. Make sure they don’t contain anything that may trigger your rosacea.
If you have questions about what products are safe to use with Soolantra, talk with your doctor or dermatologist.
