Re: Official Rosacea Thread

Hi everyone, I am a newbie here. I also have rosacea as diagnosed by my dermatologist here in Manila. I am 41 y.o. and I noticed this when I was aroung 35. I thought my skin was getting irritated with the toner I was using. My derm at that time didn't notice my rosacea. It's a good thing I changed my derm. My present derm suggested IPL and I've had 6 sessions already. I've seen about 60% improvement already and she says I will need maintenance IPL treatments even after the redness disappears.

I use Cetaphil cleanser AM & PM. For the AM I use Vit. C serum and sublock and for PM I use Vit C serum and Tretinoin .10% twice or thrice weekly. My IPL is once every 4 to 6 weeks. I'm happy with the results but I'm still waiting for the day I would no longer flush.
