Rosy Cheeks. Not Cute.

<-- dis me a lot. I broke down and went to the doctor and got my already known diagnosis of rosacea. I thought she'd give me miracle creams and send me home. Creams are not so miracle.
Wondering if anyone has or has a loved one that deals with it and what products you use that work and things you know you should stay away from?

Research it and make sure you're not doing anything to make it worse. Especially look at your diet.
Apple cider vinegar seems to be a miracle worker. Research that and see if it may help.
I like Skinceuticals, Skinmedica, and Neocutis. These are all high end skincare brands that the dr's have in their offices. They all have products for it but I've never used any.
Also when dealing with skincare conditions make sure you go to a derm that focuses on the vanity side. If the derm's office is full of old people run. I've never been happy with those. Try some high end med spas that have a dr there. Some just have nurse practitioners.
Hth and good luck.

Alcohol, spicy foods, and some medications are vasodilators (expand blood vessels). Makes it worse. Avoid sunlight. Reduce stress. Mine got much better over time. Creams didn't work.

Since then, I have had a few times when I've fallen off the wagon and eaten wheat (not just a little, but significant amounts). My skin gets red and rough and dry, but clears up after two or three weeks. I mentioned this to my dermatologist and he just said "Hmmm!"
Even though people are skeptical, may be worth a try, not much to lose. No topical products ever helped me, but I never tried anything else.
Hope it helps!
I've also ordered the Face Doctor soap and it seemed to be exactly the same product but in a different box, but I just looked at it online and it looks like it is now a different product. I looked at the ingredients and now they are not the same as Chang Sheng. If you look at the reviews for Face Doctor soap the older reviews are good, the newer reviews say it is not the same.
