[rosacea] Re: Having alot of problems lately

I think this makes a lot of sense. Vitamin e is a sensitizer so it
could be that. Also, you can be sensitive to roses - rosewater,
rosehip oil.. I wonder if you are allergic to the rosehip oil. I tend
to be pretty sensitive to plant oils. The reaction is surprising.
Redness, sensitivity, etc.
