The skin of patients with rosacea is exquisitely sensitive to various dietary, environmental, and topical factors that initiate the facial erythema characteristic of this sensitive skin condition. This sensitivity is probably due to epidermal barrier dysfunction. Overall management of rosacea involves the avoidance of dietary and environmental triggers, concurrent with the use of prescription therapies. The appropriate selection of over-the-counter and prescription skin care products is equally important. This article reviews the use of therapeutic skin cleansers, including the newest category of prescription antimicrobial cleansers, which can enhance the overall management of this inflammatory dermatologic disorder.

has anyone seen improvement in their skin using seabuckthorn oil soap? If so, what soap do you use…..where can it be bought? (Retail, please)
Hi Karen,
I wish it were that simple. I haven’t seen anyone talking about a seabuckthorn oil soap that you can get retail. Anyone have a suggestion ?

A fellow poster recommended a seabuckthorn oil soap, the brand is “Aubrey”. My local health food store carries it but was out of stock – they’re ordering it for me & it should arrive w/in the next week. Retail price around $5 – I’ll let you know how it works for me!
I used the seabuckthorn soap, essential oil and also took the capsules twice each day…to no avail. My redness did not go away, and I am still getting the rosacea associated acne. Pretty frustrating…the oil cost 28.00, the soap 7.50 and the capsules 35.00.
I tried seabuckthorn oil and it helped initiatlly with the redness and bumps but has not continued to be great help. I am also taking herpanacine via capsules and that has been of some help. I am willing to try these routes until next spring and then am seeking either v beam or intense light therapy through a dermatologist in Canada.
I googled this site after purchasing a clarisonic system. I have mild rosacea outbreaks after alcohol consumption or extended exposure to hot or cold weather. I am using the cleanser that came with the clarisonic on the low or mild one minute setting. I have not tried the body brush yet. After using the clarisonic and rinsing my face my skin is smooth but seems to have a film on it similar to the under makeup primers. Has anyone else had this experience? Should I use a mild exfoliant with the clarisonic or do I need more time to adjust to the texture of my skin using this brush?
the seabuckthorn oil soap – Face doctor is sold at shoppers drug mart in canada for about 17$. Initially, it did make my rosacea appear less red, but when i continue to use it. it really really dried out my skin. Even though i was only using it once a day at bedtime. It made my skin really tight in the morning and thus, the redness got worse because of the dryness.
