SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline to week 12

Population: Treatment success was defined as all subjects from either treatment group with a score of clear or near clear on the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scale. Treatment failure was defined as all subjects from either treatment group with a score of mild, moderate, or severe on the IGA scale.

Mean change from baseline to week 12 in biochemical markers of rosacea and expression in skin samples. A biological marker is a substance used as an indicator of a biological state such as rosacea. Biochemical markers are serine protease activity and expression, metalloprotease activity and expression, and production of leucine leucine-37 \[LL-37\] peptide.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 12

Number of participants in each category of the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) scores at week 12. Investigator's Global Assessment evaluates papules and pustules of rosacea on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = Clear, 1 = Near Clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate and 4 = Severe) with 0 being best and 4 being worst.
