Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug, FMX-103, is safe to give and if it helps people with moderate-to-severe papulopustular rosacea. The investigational product is FMX-103 minocycline foam. Two concentrations of the investigational product, 1.5% and 3%, will be studied along with vehicle. The foam will be applied once daily to the face for the 12-week treatment duration of the study. Approximately 210 patients will participate in this study.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participants age is 18 years or older.
- Participants have a moderate-to-severe rosacea excluding lesions involving the eyes and scalp.
- Subject must have diagnosed rosacea for at least 6 months prior to screening.
You may not qualify if:
- History of hypersensitivity or allergy to minocycline, any other tetracycline or any other component of the formulation such as Soybean oil or Coconut oil.
- Women of child bearing potential who are pregnant, lactating (in the last 3 months) or planning to become pregnant during the study period.
- Moderate or severe rhinophyma, dense telangiectasis (score 3, severe), or plaque- like facial edema.
- Rosacea conglobata or fulminans, corticosteroid-induced rosacea or isolated pustulosis of the chin, facial erythrosis of known origin other than rosacea (e.g., known carcinoid syndrome).
- Ocular rosacea (e.g., conjunctivitis, blepharitis, or keratitis) of sufficient severity to require topical ophthalmic or systemic antibiotics, papulopustular rosacea that requires medically indicated systemic treatment.
- Bacterial folliculitis.
