It is true that sometimes it is hard to tell the real commenters from the company sponsored droids. Thats why we love hearing real feedback from real users that we get to know over time. The power of belonging to the Rosacea Support Group !!

I tried Rosacure, found it expensive for the small tube I got (don’t remember exact amount). I bought it cause I read somewhere it may help and that it contained Hyaluronic Acid. Reading the ingredients I didnt find any hyaluronic acid and I dont think the cream improve my rosacea in any way. I used it as moisturizer until finished..

I used Rosacure, then Rosacure+, from 1999 to September 2007. It was a good moisturizer, well tolerated, but I never noticed any significant reduction in redness. My doctor said that at best, it would keep me from getting any redder, but I was careless about hot water and other triggers for several years, and am now redder than I was before. (Can't blame the Rosacure for that, I guess.) I stopped using it for a week this September when I ran out, but when I started using it again, I noticed that I would always redden on application, so I have stopped using it for now. In addition, I looked at the before and after shots on their website, and only one person with severe erythema appears to be improved. The other two pictures show no significant difference to the naked eye. If these are their bragging photos, I wouldn't be too optimistic about any improvement for most people. I've read the linked study, which uses different units than shown in the graph I've linked below, used unblinded evaluators -- that is, someone who knew which patients were on placebos and which used Rosacure -- to assess the reduction in redness. The numbers looks great, with a mean value of about 60% reduction in redness, but the pictures displayed aren't consistent with those numbers (to my eyes, anyway). Before and afters PDF including graph of improvement . Note that this is a truncated scale showing a large dip, but the values (undefined) drop only from 365 to 305.
