Rosacea-LTD has been discussed on rosacea forums the internet for a long time. In fact one of the first message I posted in 1998 was looking for some feedback on this product. The fact that the company is still in business is a good sign.
This product consists of compressed disks of various salts and sulphur. You gently slide the product over wet skin, leaving a tiny amount of the product on your skin.
When I first ordered them, they looked like round flat discs. They seemed to me like they would last at least a decade.
The next version I used was shaped more like a bullet. This is the third generation of Rosacea-LTD. These also felt like they would last many years.
I have used these for a few years in the past and there are many rosacea-support members who have also found them useful. I kept using them for quite a long time because I was happy that they were shrinking my papules and pustules – and thus were helping to reduce the redness. The benefit continued over the course of about a year I guess as I worked at reducing the inflammation of a red and acne looking nose.
Here are links to some other reviews from people who have used Rosacea-LTD.
Rosacea LTD Disks Personal History, Debbie Gallegos
I was that convinced after only 2 weeks that the new product was far superior for treating my skin condition than anything I had ever tried before over the 14 years. And the dilated veins are almost all but gone, the itchy is gone, and my skin no longer feels bumpy. And it worked being tested initially during the greatest challenge I face yearly, summer sun, heat and dry wind that is so prevalent in my area of California. Normally I wouldn’t bother to take the time to write a company back about their product if I liked it. I would just keep using it, and that would be my testament to it. But I know how lousy this condition can make you feel, both physically and emotionally, and if I can encourage anyone else suffering out there to give this a try, then my few minutes spent writing this was well worth it. What have you got to lose, except maybe the suffering? Anyone feel free to write me personally if you need more reassurance. Thanks Rosacea Ltd!.
Rosacea Ltd papules pustules, Pat Lucey
I didn’t notice much of a change for about a week, but then I discovered that I wasn’t getting any new papules, and that the redness in my face was starting to fade. It improved every week after that. After about a year of daily use, my breakouts were confined to my cheeks and chin, with occasional dots on my nose after a particularly bad flush. The condition of my skin continues to improve (I’ve been using the disks for 3 years now), but it’s not just the disks, although they help quite a bit.
Hi SC, I’ve had the same problem occasionally, but have found the disks to be very effective … Best of luck to you. The disks have dramatically improved my skin, but they have taken a little experimentation.
I have talked to other people and they say the same about the yellow (it has more sulphur) in it and i am allergic to sulphur drugs so I was really worried about using the rosacea discs but topically is supposed to be different than internally. I really find them better than the metrogel.
This product is only available at the Rosacea-LTD website at www.rosacea-ltd.com. The makers of this product have created an informative website to go along with their product.

I tried it…it’s no better then any of the other “Over the Counter” products. I had great hope…but after 3 weeks and drinking millions of gallons of water. And rubbing the disk over my face. I gave up! I called Boney directly. They said I wasn’t following the directions..and I was not using the product the way it was supposed to be used! Bull crap!…Yea..go figure..I;’m shocked..LOL.
They didn’t help at all.
SO..Buyer Beware!
SO..as for now..it’s laser’s and creams..and prayers!
Go Sansrosa!!!!

Hi,
I think it is important to try to work out the best and most recommended way to use all rosacea treatments. It would also of course depend on what sort of symptoms you had.
As far as Sanrosa is concerned, we have saying in the software industry something like “nothing ever works as well as the next release” – meaning that things always look promising when you don’t have it in your hand to play with. The reality when something arrives is often different to how you anticipated. So lets not diss what we currently know and understand too much until we know for sure what sansrosa is going to really give us.

Its kind of expensive, but it is well worth it. No over the counter or store products will work for rosacea. Dermatalogists also do not really know what they are talking about. The key to stopping the redness is a gentle cleanser, jojobo oil, rosacea ltd, mineral make-up (if you are a girl), lots of water and juice, and a health diet. I personally do not think rosacea exist, I think the skin gets red because it is irritated by something that you put on it or something that you put in it. That is why gentle products and a healthy diet is necessary. Rosaea LTD works great for rendness that is already there, and to stop flares. I used to get flares, and I have not had one since I started the product, and started eating healthy.
Hi,
I suffer from rosacea and I have been using the rosacea ltd. product for about 3 months now. All I can say is that this is the only natural product that has worked really well for me. Yes you need to have patience, to follow the instructions well and to do the water and diet suggestions that they make but it is 100% totally worth it.
I’ve spent so much money with naturopaths, herbalists skin experts, dermatologists and none of it worked half as well as this product for very little money. The drugs that the doctors give you have so many nasty side affects and I really believe that they make things so much worse.
I would recommend that people try this product but the results will depend on your consistency with application and your dedication to diet and water consumption.
I have never written on a website before about anything but I am really excited about my own results so I do encourage you to try it out.
I have been using rosacea ltd 11 years. Prior to that, nothing would work anymore. It calmed down the redness and soaked up some of the excess oil in my face. It won’t work for everyone but it is worth a try.
Hi. I’m a 26 year old from Asia. It’s great to see a support org for rosacea sufferers. I just want to share my story. I suspect that I have had rosacea for years but it was only recently that I found out such a skin disorder existed. I was very disappointed because for years, I have consulted a few doctors regarding my skin concerns, but none of them has even considered rosacea. Recently, there are lots of bumps on my nose and they seem to be multiplying. Before, I think it was only two, and I’m not sure anymore if those were formed from acne. I also have large pores in my nose. I noticed that the skin tone on my face is very different to that of my hand. I consulted with a derma recently, I asked if I could be a candidate for rosacea. But she said she doubted so. She was thinking that it was ONLY RHINOPHYMA! I researched and found out in some sites that Rhinophyma is a form or Rosacea. Is that correct?
I dont know what to do anymore. There seems to be no experts in dermatology here in my area. I am very conscious about it.Please help. Thanks
Ive been using these disks for only about a week now but already showing terrific results.
I have mild acne particularly on my nose and during my younger years was not very careful with the sun so i developed rosacea.
First of all the ‘Rosacea Ltd’ website is absolutely fantastic, really honest and unbaised thoroughly researched advise as to the symptoms, causes and remedies for this health issue. One of the best websites i have ever been on, if followed correctly it will change your life! Its not just about drinking water as some others have mentioned but changing habits and attitude for the better. I found the topics on acidity and alkaline foods and and of the direct links to rosacea as particularly enlightening information. Here is a link for convenience: http://www.rosacea-ltd.com/
I found the disks to particularly help with excessive sebum production. And over the many years of trying to cure this seemingly chronic problem, I have increasing sensitive skin. I feel there is no harm in trying the disks as all the ingredients are natural and also naturally anti-imflamatory. Quick word of advise, Please stop scrubbing your skin!
Overall i couldnt reccomend a better product and company as they clearly only want whats best for us, a natural product which does not aggrivate skin and dedicated factual information which is more to be said than most other companies only here to make a quick buck at our expense. Once again the website is a MUST!
Cheers, Alan
I’ve been using these disks for about a year, and for me, they work really well – much better than anything my dermatologist has given me, including Metrogel and antibiotics (which I stopped using.)
I was initially skeptical about spending that much money on the disks, but decided to go ahead and try them since my dermatologist’s efforts weren’t helping, and I’m SO glad I did.
I haven’t really changed what I’m eating (although I’m sure that would help), and I’d accidentally left them at home when I went on a long vacation, and got out of the habit of using them. By the time I got home, my face was breaking out again with papules and pustules. I started using my antibiotics again (but not the disks), and my face continued to get worse, even when I upped the antibiotic dosage. It wasn’t until I remembered the disks and started using them (and stopped using the antibiotics) that my face began improving again. I was probably off the disks for 2.5 months. My papules and pustules were almost completely gone within three weeks.
All I can say is that for me, they work, and I have no hesitation about recommending them.
I have been using the disks for about 4 months. Only the yellow one works for me and only once a day. The results have been very good so far. I have found that a small amount of aloe vera sun burn lotion once or twice a day really helps a lot along with the disks.
I just started this 10 days ago and the first few days it seemed to be working and then all of a sudden after I using the brown disk my face would just start itching. I started using the yellow disk yesterday and it seemed not to itch as much and actually was working but this morning I put it on and it felt fine but now my face is itching again and my rosacea seems to be getting worse and it is not containing it. I want to scratch my face off at this point because it is itching so bad. I also use jojoba oil because i have dry skin.
I started this yesterday morning. It was ok during the day, but after I applied the yellow disk at night in the morning I noticed a few bumps. I thought that it was part of the program and applied the brown disk and progerssing itchiness at around 3 in the afternoon I had a severe swelling and redness and itching. I suppose I had an allergic reaction of sorts. I am staying away from this stuff as I think I am allergic. Has anyone else had this reaction?
An update from me… Well it has been about 3 weeks now and still no change in my skin. Actually i am seeing more red spots and my forehead is the worst I have ever seen, I contacted B&B and they replied back to fill out another qustionaire to make sure I am using it correclty. I am using it according to the letter I initially received.I am drinking a minimum of 10 glasses of water a day and have even started eating fruits high in alkaline but nothing is working. At least when I used Finacea it kept my forehead pretty clean. I wonder if using finacea along with this product would be good?
Mike, I would stop using if I were you . If you are having anything close to the reaction I am having that is a good reason to not use this stuff. Could be you are allergic to the ingredients and are doing damage to your skin. Sigh, Why couldn’t this be on my ass instead of my face!lol! I would do the diet thing, stop the Rosacea LTD and see how that goes.
I called them up and they were very nice and told me to return the stuff, which I will. This has been a disaster for me and all I can say is I am glad I have no parties or engagements cause I am in hiding till this clears up….
I have severe redness and itching and the skin on my cheeks looks like chopped meat. This is just from one day!
I was told to just use jojoba oil and cleanse with a mild cleanser.
Hope that will work to bring me to where I was before which was 1,000 times better than this!
Guess it does not work for everyone.
Maria,
Well my face is still the same but it looks like the rosacea has just taken over and the disks don’t seem to help. They do itch for a little bit after the application but then that subsides. I’m sorry to hear about your reaction. There must be an ingredient that your skin cannot tolerate. LOL! yeah if it were on my ass I wouldn’t care either! I wish I could hide but I work in IT technology and I have to be in the office.
Yeah people who try to find something alternative to the metrogel are just trying to get some relief from this. I have had rosacea for 15 years now and it off and on. For women I think it has something to do with hormones, and it could be for men as well, but I know mine acts up and calms down during certain times.
The best thing to do is drink loads of water and not use anything but a light cleanser adn jojoba oil or even a light moisterizer. I use homemade soap which is great for rosacea and mostly nothing else. The soap itself contains a lot of moisteriers so need for that step which I guess helps a little.
I wanted to get rid of it for good, but that backfired…I suppose the key is to control it with mild mild stuff and eating healthy.Carrots!
And I will NEVER AGAIN use something that I got over the internet!Not unless it has been proven and approved and is in the papers all over the world!
Till then, we have to be patient.
Hi,
I am wanting to contact the company as i have had my rosacea LTD for over a year and haven’t used, touched or even opened it basically i was scared to make my rosacea worse!
I basically want to know if i can now use the discs (i’ve finally realised i have nothing to lose).
I’ve tried to look on their website and tried every possible way to send the email but it just comes back as failed.
Can anyone help with the email details.?
Thanks
Hi all here,
I had no luck with the disks they actually worsened my rosacea to the point I thought I was going to be disfigured, I guess I was allergic or something. I returned the disks and had my money refunded, so that was good. I used the email provided here.
I wanted to say that to heal my face I used a regimen of Noxema followed by colloidal oatmeal (avveeno oatmeal bath packets). I made a thin paste with the oatmeal powder and let it dry for around 10 minutes. Wash off, pat dry and use only jojoba oil after you have finished cleansing. THat not only healed the skin but has proved to be very effective. I use the oatmeal once a week now and the noxema & jojoba every day. Hope this helps someone! Also, drink LOTS of water.
Ljohn I sent you an email about you contact issues.
Maria, could you please explain to me your noxema regime? What is it? how it looks like?
thanks a lot
Hi Yvonne. You can get Noxzema at the pharmacy, most stores sell it. It’s a sunburn remedy basically. I wash with it in the morning and then use jojoba oil and then again at night. Once or twice a week get aveeno oatmeal bath packets. Put a bit in your hand and add some warm water to make a paste. Put on your dry face (after doing the wash with Noxama) and let dry for 10 minutes, Rinse with warm water . Noxzema is pretty cheap as well. Lately , the rosacea has been better so I am now just using homemade oatmeal soap and derma e face lotion with hyralonic acid. It seems to be working nicely as well. I will wash will Noxema on a day when I am feeling itchy,but that stuff saved my life! Hope it works for you!
Hi All,
Good to find a company of rosacea people.
I am living in Tennessee and it feels I am the only one having this rosacea.
Maria, I am really impressed by your comments and hard work you are doing.
I have decided to follow your regime and lets see what I get.
Thanks again to everyone. !!
GOod luck Abhi! I know rosacea can be annoying but having a good attitude (finding ways to deal with stress) eating healthy and drinking LOTS of water helps a lot. I am currently trying to eat more carrots as well and have had good results. Vitamin A and the stuff that makes carrots orange is good for your complexion! Carrots also detox your body and THAT is key. Also, I cut down on chocolate, that is killer for me but chocolate make me itchy for days, and sugar. I use honey and maple syrup as sweeteners. IF anyone has success with diet please let me know! I am thinking that allergens in food may have more to do with rosacea than we think.
I am also trying to
cut down on gluten and dairy. (Cheese is also a trigger for me).
In short, keep track of your diet and you may notice it more.
I am eating oatmeal for breakfast and although it has gluten it is so far working well. Also yogurt , but no cheeses. Maybe the process that makes cheese is the culprit? Not going to drive myself crazy, I am just trying to get results!
Good luck to all!
Maria.
Hello everybody,
I have been using Rosacea-Ltd for 5 months now. I believe it has helped me out greatly. I was trying to find a site where I could see other peoples review on this product and it seems to me that there is a mixed feeling on this.
But it reminds me of others products that were prescribed to me that didn’t work either and cost a lot more.
Hi Jerry,
I am happy it worked for you , it was horrible for me. People thought I was a burn victim for a couple of weeks, just awful.I suppose I have a sensitivity to sulphur as that is the main ingredient. Good luck to you!
Maria
I have had a great result from the Rosacea Ltd and just really wanted to encourage people to try it — as long as they’re OK with sulphur, of course! I’m breastfeeding and had the most amazing attack of what turned out to be rosacea about eight months ago. I wasn’t diagnosed for ages and tried lots of natural remedies in the meantime, thinking it was post-natal hormonal acne or something of the kind. It was severe! But between the discs and upping my water intake (4L a day is a lot but it is possible) my skin is now pretty much better. I will continue with the discs to address occasional pustules and keep working on the redness, but the dreadful ridges and blanket of whiteheads are gone. I can hardly believe it. I thought I was going to look like that forever.

Hi all!
I just wanted to report back that even though my rosacea was getting worse when I first started the disks that now my face is clearer than it has been in a long time. I started out drinking tons of water and eating better but now my water intake has gone back down to maybe 3 glasses a day but the only thing I have now is a little redness on my cheeks. Every now and then a red spot will show up but that is usually because I have eaten something that I know I shouldn’t and it usually goes away withing two days. The only issue I have is the disks make my face smell like a burnt match! LOL…
I started the disks last February and you can see my comment above and my job being in IT. I didn’t see instant results but after about a month or so my face did start clearing up. So if you can handle the smell then stick with it. My regimine is I wash my face twice a day and use pure jojoba oil each time after I wash it. I use Dove soap only on my face and I also shave my face with just the jojoba oil. I think a lot of my problem was with having dry skin but now it’s moist and I actually look younger! I need to order a new set of disks as mine are almost gone but I see they raised the price to 98 dollars. Oh well it is worth it for me. Good luck to everyone!
Hello everyone,
i have had this redness for around 9 years , i started notice it i thought that was not normal to have my face red all the time, but i didn’t even know about this condition. i went to several doctors and all had different opinion. everything that they gave me made me get worst. so the latest doctor gave me metrogel, which since i started using i got terrible, so i stopted it.
i feel so sad because i don’t find anything that really help me, i try to don’t eat bad things to trigger more my condition, also i was thinking to do a laser ipl procedure, that i heard it is good for rosacea. today i was trying to search info about rosacea and i found this rosacea ltd, i don’t know exactly what it it,, but your comments are helpful. propably i will like to try it
