Hi SC, I’ve had the same problem occasionally, but have found the disks to be very effective. A few things I’ve learned are:

One, make sure your face is dripping wet when you apply the product.

Two, make sure you are well-oiled. Are you using jojoba?

Three, make sure you are only using it on the areas truly affected by your rosacea. I made the mistake of using it on my whole face, when I really didn’t need it everywhere. The end result was that the places that weren’t previously red were becoming red. And the places that were red, were becoming normal. Kind of a reversal.

Four, if you are having irritation in certain places, do add extra moisturizer before applying the disks. Certain parts of our faces are drier or the skin is thinner, or whatever. But there are definitely places that don’t tolerate the disks as well as others. I like to apply a thin layer of either vaseline or Neosporin to these areas (followed by another splash of water to make sure my face is still dripping wet) before applying the disks, and this seems to resolve the problem.

Five, don’t graduate to the yellow disk unless you absolutely feel you must. I’ve read many other postings indicating that the results with the brown disk tend to be better as the yellow often causes irritation. I know when I tried the yellow disk, I had itchy red patches the following day and have not gone back to it as a result.  The brown seems to work just fine. My skin tends to be the dry, flaky kind rather than the oily, pimply kind and that may explain my reaction.

Six, make sure you are not rubbing or scratching your face after applying the disks. They leave a thin film of minerals on your face and sratching or rubbing will burn them in to the skin and cause irritation. The minerals either absorb or slough off after a couple hours.

Seven, consider using the disk only once a day if all else fails.

Also, if you’ve just started using them (as in just a few days), this may be normal anyway. I know that after I initially started using them, my face would be quite red for a couple of hours and then the redness would go away. Now, my face does not turn red after using them.

Best of luck to you. The disks have dramatically improved my skin, but they have taken a little experimentation. The color of my skin has lightened almost back to normal color after my derm told me my raw salmon colored skin was permanent! I hope they work as well for you.
