I’ve liked the Aveeno ultra calming products-recommended by my dr. I also use the Neutrogena minerals makeup and it covers great. My dr. also uses this for herself. It has good coverage and goes on sheer. Neutrogena also has a perfect color match coverstick I use for redness and dark circles. It covers the red and is not cakey.

Guess lasers will be in my future too-non of the meds have helped that much.
Good Luck to all

Just wondering about the role of exfoliation.
I am looking for the best treatment for my rosacea, sensitive skin. My instinct is that exfoliation would be too rough, and thus an irritant. But, I love that “scrubbed clean” feeling, and would appreciate advice on whether I should avoid or actively seek out cleansers with exfoliants.

Thanks.

Hi, I have Rosacea, and well, if you suffer from that, you understand my frustration and pain. I have spent lots of money trying to find the right products. I just started taking Herpanacine(which is 100 % natural), by the way you can get the 200 capsules bottle at Amazon.com for a very affordable price. I’m at the highest dosage right now, which is 3 pills in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. I’m going on my third week. I also found some extremely good natural facial cleanser (this stuff is absolutely amazing and it’s only $17.99), it’s called Rosacea Cleanser. I also use the Rosacea Moisturizer, wich is $32.99. You can find these two at beautynaturraly.com. I’ve been using this for a week; and let me tell you, for the first time, my face is finally clearing up. Just today I had one of my coworkers tell me that my face was so clear. I’m so happy! Using these three products, along with a toner for sensitive skin, and sunscreen, all these have definately helped not only my complexion, but my self esteem. I also try to avoid spices, and hot beverages, and eat lots of vegetables and fruits, along with whole grain products. I just felt obligated to write this review for all the people out there that suffer from Rosacea. If someone would of introduced me to these products four years ago, everything would of been different. But anyhow, I’m glad I found these products and that I’m now using them. Oh, I almost forgot, I don’t know if you know but I also found out that Rosacea is Cardiovascular related, so I started also adding to my diet the fish oil pills(I get these ones at Whole Foods-it’s their brand) they are very good quality and very affordable; I only paid 11.99 for a bottle of 250 softgels. I hope this helps someone out there! God bless…..

Hi i also have rosacea and right now im extremly frustrated atmy derm dr. She just tells me to look OTC products tell ya what ive tried just about all of them and either ended up redder,drier,or buring. My rosacea is mild its on my nose onto my cheeks where im extremly dry/and very hyper-sensitive, but i also break out to even in those dry areas. Im using metrocream. but where i have dry patches on my cheeks the medication doesnt seem to want to do its job there. I cant use no alcohols,fragrances,no products that has sulfur based.and any of the SLS”s Any suggestions from anyone knows what im going thru.

hello sakinah, i have heard of people having a lot of success with the laser treatment. they found it reduced the redness. if you feel your skin is getting dry then you’re probably not using the right products. try to find products with aloe vera or shea butter. they’re both meant to put moisture back in your skin. chamomile is good too. very light but effective. good luck. i know what it’s like to have rosacea so i feel your pain. take care.

I suffer from Rosacea and although I do not use soaps or face make up, I feel my skin is getting drier as I get older (I am 33). I use a light exfoliating cream that washes off and I use soap and alcohol free products. Is there anything I can purchase in the UK that I can reduce the redness?
And is laser treatment helpful?
Thank You

yeah i find that alot of sites tell you what ingredients to avoid and then they name products that have those ingredients. i wanna go the organic route because i’ve tried so many OTC stuff that i’m about to go crazy. i’m looking into aubrey organics and thinking of using their sensitive line products. we’ll see how it goes.

Stephanie, I also wondered the same thing. Also, the Active C recommended above contains fragrance. Not sure what the best answer is. still looking for good products.

I don’t understand how they tell you to use Cetaphil when it contains propylene glycol and parabens. They tell you to stay clear of that but it is in most of the gentle cleansers!!!! Any comments?

I think products containing Parsol are still quite hard to find in the US. See the following articles for more info: Zinc Oxide or Avobenzone boosts sunscreen protection and rosasol: would you like sunscreen with your metrogel ?. davidp.
