I too have rosacea and for a couple of years now have been trying everything that I could get my hands on that were suggested by other people on different websites for rosacea. I have gone the the dermatologist, used Metrogel, Finecea, tetracycline and just different calming lotions, moisturizers... the gamut... but nothing seemed to help. I came across some information on the National Rosacea Society website that said that some people with rosacea responded to BHA ( Beta Hydroxy Acid) lotion. On the webpage that I was reading there was a link to Paula Begoun's website -The Cosmetics Cop (Paula's Choice). At this point, I was ready to try anything so I clicked on the link and was transported to Paula's Choice. For those of you who have not heard of Paula's Choice, it is a website with all sorts of information about skin care and makeup and Paula has her own line of skin care and makeup products. Naturally after trying so many different things, I was very suspicious. After looking over the information on her website, I decided to give her skin care line a try. You don't have to buy a whole bottle, she sells samples of all of her items and I've read on other websites that you can also get them to send free samples if you call and speak with their customer service. (I wish I had found that out before I ordered my samples!) I looked over each one of her suggested skin care programs, settled on the one for my skin type and ordered the program in all samples... My face was very irritated, red and I had pustuals which I just could not get rid of. The Finecea definitely was not working! After a week of using the samples, my face has cleared up almost 100%! I was so pleased with the results that I have ordered the kit so that I can continue with this progress. I was so excited, I just felt that I had to pass this along to everyone just in case you had never heard of Paula's Choice. The samples are worth the try, and if it doesn't work for you, then you haven't put out a lot of money! It is expensive to get the whole skin care kit at once but it was worth it to have nice skin again! My sister and my friends have all commented on how nice my skin looks now. And it leaves your skin so soft and smooth.
