I tried iodine on my face last night and it took away a lot of redness and seemed to clear my pores too! Please research iodine-providine, it’s been around a long time, is cheap; about 6 dollars for a bottle that should last maybe a year, and kills bacteria and fungus so it should destroy the mites too. Leave it on for about an hour, then rinse and you should notice a difference right away.

In the morning, I used it again wihout washing my face and my face looked clear and clean. Since it’s a brownish-orange, it isn’t something you can leave the house with, but an hour even once a day should show improvements.

At least it’s more natural than some of the products everybody is using, which for me usually makes my face worse and dry and more red.

The only thing I use for a moisturizer is Jojoba oil mixed with water. Jojoba is the closest thing to our own body oil and actually slows down our sebum from being in over drive.

I think using chemicals on the face especially in OTC moisturizers and washes is prolonging or promoting skin irritation and that’s why nothing seems to work long term.

Taking a bath with 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide added always kept my face and skin clear, but now I don’t have a bathtub so my body hasn’t done as well.

I’ve been using this product called Face Doctor. It’s a bar soap that has seabuckthorn oil in it. It doesn’t heal your rosacea but i find that it sort of calms it down. It tends to dry out your skin so you need to moisturize afterwards. Maybe this info may help someone. I’ve tried ZenMed which i didn’t find worked for me..I tried Prosacea which didn’t make my skin better, but didn’t make it worse either…so i quit that. i’m at a point of not trusting these products such as rosacea ltd and what not. i wanted to know how effective Rosacea LTD was for pustules (i got lots on my cheeks/forhead)?

I was diagnosed with Rosacea about 7 years ago. At the time, I was 37. I had dry patches and my skin was red and inflamed most of the time.

My cosmetologist recommended a Gylocolic Cleanser and a Gylcolic cream by Jan Marini. I also use Jan Marini’s 30spf mosturizer. Within 2 months the symptoms went away. I have been using it for 7 years now. I have no redness and my skin is no longer dry. With the exception of maybe a couple small veins, my skin looks great. People are shocked when I say I have Rosacea. The Jan Marini products not only improved my skin but kept it from getting any worse.

I highly recommend these products. The 3 products combined cost is about $120. But they last at least 6 months. You can buy them in some Spas or Salons. Or you can buy them online directly from Jan Marini.

Also, I use Bare Minerals makeup. Keeps my skin healthy, and clear.

I am 52 yrs old and have suffered from rosacea for over 10 yrs now. Last week I had a horrible outbreak of swelling, redness, and unsightly papules across my face. I was, quite frankly, embarrassed to leave my house looking like some kind of monster.

I read on here about Prosacea, and decided to check it out. Along with beginning to take flaxseed oil tablets (for the rosacea and I’ve read it is also beneficial in weight loss). In just 4 days my skin is visibly clearer, and I’ve been very pleased with the Prosacea product. My only complaint is, (even though it says it’s unscented) it has a very heavy sulpher smell that I worry is going to offend others around me. Of course, the main ingredient in Prosacea is sulpher, so of course it’s probably going to smell like it. If they could somehow mask that smell, I would consider this stuff a miracle worker.

I am trying to find out if what is happening to me is Rosacea….I was sent to an allergist, My dr thought I had a contact dermatitis….We recently moved and do not yet have medical insurance…I happens every so often, to the left side of my face under my eye, near my nose/a little around my mouth and chin/in between my eyes above my nose…the right side of my face is fine!! It swells and there are dozens of tiny tiny what looks like white heads…I dont know where it comes from…I dont flush, and it is usually gone in 2 days or less…Occasionally my right eye swells and is itchy, but not at the same time my face is swelled…And my eye is better within minutes…All of this started happening to me within the last year when I started a new birth control…I have stopped the birth control, months ago…Was wondering if anyone had anything that may help answer my questions?? Thx

Penaten cream for babies diaper rash works well for Rosacea – just dab it on very lightly and it covers up the redness, then apply light makeup.

I’ve had decent results with Prosacea, it seems to help calm things down when I’m having a breakout but the smell of it keeps me from using it a lot. Still, it’s worth trying out and having on hand for breakouts.
