EXCELLENT! The foundation covers all of the broken blood vessels and redness of my nose. I use the whole line of products. Expensive, yes, but worth it.

I find this stuff really good. I recently got off roaccutane and tried for almost a year to get rid of the redness and its really good but very expensive.

HI, does any of you use the dramatically different under the daily relief creme.
My flare-ups are located mainly on my cheeks and I have wondered if I should use the DD creme and just the daily relief as ‘target’ creme on my cheeks.

Do any of you have any experience combining the various products??

I just came across the redness makeup and I have to say I am very impresed – I will be turning 50 at the end of this year and I have never worn make up as it would react very badly with my rosacea.

My friend told me about this so we went to sears to try it out and the lady put it on and I could not believe the difference – it was like looking at a totally different person. I purchased the line for redness had the lady teach me to put it on and that was back in April and I have to say I don’t think I could go a day without my makeup on and I used to laugh at people that said that..

Thanks Clinique it really is great makeup and cleaners…..

I used to scrub my face every day with st Ives also. Maybe there is a connection. Its too bad, because I loved the way it felt.

I disagree with you on trying it for a few hours, and then dropping it if it doesn’t work that fast. I have found with my rosacea that any time I change a product, I have a reaction. I have to try something new for at least a couple weeks in order to determine whether it is a product that will work for me or not. If I hadn’t tried Clinique for a month first, I would not have realized that it IS something that works for me. Some people may be able to try something and know right away, but for others you have to give your skin time to adjust before knowing if it works or not.

my dream was to be an makeup artist and to bring out my own lines of makeup… but how can i sell products to make people look better if i can’t control my own skin? i’ve had rosacea since i was roughly 22 when i was told about it. i prolly had it longer. in my heart i believe being that i was combo skin exfoliating the was answer. i thought my skin was protected by my own oils and i can keep washing it. i have oils on my forehead n nose and dryness on my cheeks n chin. i use to use st. ives scrubs. they are the worst. i believe thats what caused my rosacea. my cheeks became red and my nose. then i got bumps on my cheeks n forehead as well. i’ve been told i wore too much blush in high school. i wore lots of makeup like shadow, liner, mascara n lip stick n glosses but never blush. i thought i had bad acne and bought 4 cleansers at a time to always have a back up. i’m so ashamed of my skin. i bought different lines of mineral makeup. i have stands that are like 4 foot tall of makeup. i use to give away avon boxes of makeup filled to the top with different brands of makeup at a time. i been to a derm. and they gave me like 6 products to try on my skin at once and i was to report back how it all works. i didn’t catch the names of all of them cuz my insurance paid for like 3. i had some kind of pills, some kind of gel or cream but it wasn’t the metro gel cuz that didn’t work for me and i had a solution of sodium and sulfur. the wash worked at first cuz i tried different combos of what worked alone. the wash make my face smell like a match (sulfer) and cleared up all pimples and some redness at first. after bout 2 weeks my face started to get big under the surface pimples that hurt so bad i’d cry. my face hurt worse than when i was a lil acne prone teen. it took awhile for it to get out of my system but finally my face healed. i was too afraid to go back to the derm. i started my old routine of buying products till i find one that works. i have bought the (OLAY REGENERIST) line. the scrub was ok it cleaned so it did it’s job. the daily with spf 50 i use to go out and i bought the foundation thats light. the moisture got rid of my dry itchy flakey cheeks i thought there was no solution to and was to afraid to keep exfoliation due to more redness. i i have a mild case compared to some others i seen online with extreme cases. i know others with it but have milder cases than i like few bumps n maybe like a finger print of redness on the nose n cheeks. i have plenty of makeup books that say (CETAPHYL) they use for problem skin clients. it does cleanse n soften the skin. i use to use the night cream thats oil of olay which is the best moisturizer i found but no spf. now i use cytaphyl moisturizer cuz they got one for eczema. it’s called restoraderm and is recommended by the eczema foundation it says on the bottle so it must be mild for irritated skin. it does NOT get rid of redness but if you can’t find something for redness it’s still important to have a mild cleanser and a good moisturizer. i do know that products are diff for everyone and i like get immuned to everything fast. i also used (AMBI) since i get brown spots due to the sun and it worked for that and the pimple like bumps for a lil while. my products i change around alot and i know it’s not good. i just get tired of a product if i don’t see any change and gets excited to try something new. currently my skin line is neutrogena naturals the one to deeply cleanse not to soften skin. they got two but they don’t do the same thing. one is a deeper cleanse n one is to soften skin n some other stuff. anyway neutrogena ($8)for cleanse, olay regenerist (i think $10) for spf 50 for day and i use vitamin E oil (12,000 i.u.)($5) at night on my face till it absorbs and then covered by cetaphyl lotion ($13) and E.L.F. makeup remover clothes (for 20 $5) with aloe for sensitive skin (says on the back not front from they’re professional line) eyelipsandface.com sometimes i use the wipes just cuz of sweating or being out all day. they never irritate my skin so i never have to wipe of residue after using one.

for all those into trying clinique redness relief, my advise is to ask the sales lady to try a sample of the cream or day lotion to take home and try. if you notice no difference on clean skin after leaving on for a few ours chances are it will not work for you. yes many times you need the whole system to get the best results but if the heaviest cream won’t calm down your skin then the rest will not do anything either. use with a mild cleaner before applying. this way you save yourself a trip of it doesn’t work, the embarassment of taking it back, and money you can use for something else

The Redness Solutions range contains some irritants so beware before you buy. For normal skin they should be no problem, but for rosacea they can be. The products that are good are the Daily Protective Base, the cleanser and the urgent relief cream.

I bought the cleanser, base and moisturiser redness products. I love them all, although its only been two weeks. My skin looks and feels so much better which has upper my confidence! Even my mum (with bad eyesight) commented today on how. pale I was looking which was a compliment for me! It might not suit everyone, but for me it has given me hope and optimism. Go for it! x

I was hanging around the Cesar Palace in Vegas and run into the CLINIQUE store. The lady who took care of me was extremely knowlegeable of the issue, she explain to me the most likely reasons of my REACTIVE REDNESS/ROSACEA. She also recomended the products I was supposed to use. REDNESS SOLUTION SOOTHING CLEANSER, R. S. DAILY RELIEF CREAM, R. S. DAILY PROTECTIVE BASE SPF 15, R. S. URGENT RELIEF CREAM (in case the I have A realy bad flare up) and R. S. INSTANT RELIEF MINERAL POWDER, which I all used religiously. At the begining the products work satisfactory but after about 5 to 7 months my problem, even though I kept using the producs, started to get worse and worse, and now (a year later) I find myself frustrated not only because I turn scarlet red on a drop of a hat, when I use these products I feel it gets worse. I know that every person have a different reaction to such products. Probably my case might need a madicated product, I’ll find out when I see a Dermatologist.
