Mechanism of Action:

Ivermectin in topical form targets the Demodex mites, which may contribute to the inflammatory component of rosacea. The medication binds with high affinity to certain ion channels involved in the nerve and muscle function of parasites, which can lead to paralysis and death of these mites. This decreases inflammation and the number of lesions in patients with rosacea.
