Re: [rosacea] what product? so many out there now......

Diana,

Have you tried Aveeno or Decleor products? I would recommend using all the products-including cleanser & lotions or creams. Also, do you use sunscreen when you're outside? And you know that rubbing the skin just aggravates things.
I've had problems with flaking & dry skin like that on my jawline & in my ears. My GP put me on a cream RX called Elidel.

Hi all,

I am a new member and a bit over-whelmed by all the emails and suggestions.

I just developed Rosacea in the last two years. I'm 65 years old. I don't get many of those tiny little pimples, mostly redness and terrible dry scales on my skin. The T area of my face, forehead and upper nose area. It isn't on my cheeks at all.....yet anyway. It also itches. I thought I would get rid of the scales so used the Oil of Olay derma stuff to slough off the scales. It backfired on me and my forehead is awful. I can actually take a soft brush and make the flakes fly like snow! In my eyebrows too. It's scary to look in the magnified mirror!

I thought the peroxide sounded interesting, to use topically. I know it helps poison oak on some people. I am so dry already though so I'm not sure. I do use some cleanser and calming moisturizer Eu.....something but I don't see any benefit from it. It doesn't calm a thing.

I use a makeup like Bare Minerals, although mine isn't that brand. I does a good job of covering the blemishes but I need something for the flakes and itching.

Colleen,

I use the RosaceaCare serum, moisturizer, cleanser and calming lotion. I
really like them. They have reduced my persistant pinkness somewhat, and
improved my skin quality over all. The texture of my skin is starting to
feel like it did pre-rosacea. (my rosacea has always been the drying flakey
variety, not the oily, except for the sides of my nose, for some reason,
which do get oily) Their cleanser is thusfar the only off the shelf cleanser
I have used that my sensitive skin doesn't revile. I had been washing my
face with purified water only for years prior to using this. I do not
really have P&P so I can't speak on that aspect. They are expensive, but in
their case at least the quality appears to be there.

Hello everyone. I just found this yahoo group and have been looking
at products to treat my rosacea. I have had red cheeks all my life
and have the usual more intense red after spicy food etc. Only spread
to my chin in the last 2 years and also started getting the acne like
postules.

I've used Metro Lotion but would like to get off prescriptions. Any
suggestions on what product lien to look at next. I've been looking
at Jan Marini and Rosacea Care.

Thanks,
Colleen
