I'm surprised that more don't know about it. I guess because they are a small company from New Zealand. Anyway, it's a great product, very cooling and soothing as well Someone mentioned ‘SkinFix’

I have been suffering with Rosacea for over 30 years now. I could cover up the problem fairly well when I was younger, with cosmetics. About 15 years ago I tried antibiotic treatment, which did nothing for my rosacea and left me continually nauseated. So I stoped with that treatment and did pretty well with the cover up method again..............until about 5 months ago. Now my Rosea is horriffic! I have it all; the erythema, papules, pustules, facial swelling and burning and to my horror my nose is changing shape from what is apparently rhinophyma! To add insult to injury, I no longer have health insurance. So, I've been trying to get info about over the counter treatments and need some experienced help in this direction. Could you tell me what you feel is the best over the counter creams, or home remedy treatments? I really need your help. Thank you, Shirley Hi,

I have had acne all my life, Im now 30 yrs old, but little tiny zits have appeared around my cheeks following the redness. I thought it might be linked to my birth control pills, like a rise in my blood pressure? If anyone has any feedback id like the help!

I am now using a cream called 'FINACEA' which is for the treatment of Acne and Rosacea and have had quite successful results. It has more or less killed off most of the pustules that I had all over my face. I had to order this 30 gram tube of cream via my local pharmacy as it is not normally stocked with being such an expensive cream. 1 g gel contains Azelaic acid, 150mg Benzoic acid, 1mg contained as preservative. I initally used three quarters of this tube which really cleared up my facial skin and the last quarter that is left I now use from time to time - whenever I get flare ups. Let me know if you would like more information which I am happy to provide if you are interested. Cheers Vicki If this can help any Rosacea sufferers – I’m more than happy to pass this information on………

Obviously it was in a gel formula but i found after getting rid of the small amount of pustules on my forehead it did very little else apart for irritate due to it's drying out of the skin and then subsequent changing to the texture of dried pva glue or a face mask. This meant it was difficult to apply moisturisers, or if I applied the metrogel later on I would get remarks such as "whats that peeling on your face" So my question is Is the metro cream or lotion better than the gel? and what treatment best treats flushing and mild erethyma The only treatment I tried was metrogel.

I got Rosacea since 36 heavily on my chin, and scattered on nose, and aside. Lately, I found that refrain from alcohol, caffein, dairy products, egg, crab and shrimp, sleep well, and to do heavy toilet everyday or more than once a day-by just drink lots an lots of fresh water; DO a great calm down my Rosacea. I am taking the Dual Light treament twice a month. (Formerly, my doctor tried the V Beam but it was not as good as the Dual Light.) Eventhough it cost lots of money but I can feel that it always getting better after the treatment. Pa Jiab Dear all,
