Finally, Something That Works!, June 3, 2009
This review is from: Prosacea Rosacea Treatment, Gel, 0.75 Ounces (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
First, a bit about my rosacea condition which I have had for about 15 years. I have reddened skin, especially on my cheeks (it looks like I am wearing lots of blush) and on my chin, nose, and forehead. I have enlarged pores on my cheeks and nose. I have tried a myriad of treatments from otcs to acupuncture. By the way, acupuncture did not help at all although it helped reduce my stress levels.
Over the years, I discovered that my condition worsens with stress and seems to flare up badly if I eat wheat products, especially during the cold months. I often break out in hives and the itchy rash is nearly intolerable.
I recalled that during my teens, I used a sulfur-based product on my acne which seemed to help a bit. I have been using Prosacea for three days now. It has reduced the redness considerably and amazingly enough, my pores are barely noticeable now. I apply a small amount, and I mean small, all over my face morning and night. Just a tiny amount of product is enough to do my entire face.
There is a marked odor from the sulfur but you get used to it and it is not off-putting to me. (It actually brings back some happy memories of my teen years!) I have very sensitive skin and must watch everything I put on my face. I am allergic to most cosmetics, especially those containing talc. Prosacea is not irritating to my skin at all. No burning, no stinging.
The price is quite reasonable and the least expensive of anything I have tried. The .75 oz tube will last a long time, I predict, since you only need the tiniest amount.
Give Prosacea a try. You may be surprised at how good your skin will look.

It's worth a try, June 4, 2009
This review is from: Prosacea Rosacea Treatment, Gel, 0.75 Ounces (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
I have been suffering with the occasional redness on my face for a couple of years. My face would look like it was sunburned. I had to cover up with lots of heavy makeup and it felt awful. Finally made the appointment to see my doctor when I couldn't stand it anymore.
The doctor gave me 2 different perscriptions for gels and ointments. They seemed to work but it took weeks to see any results and my face still had to be covered with makeup to hide the redness. I bought this Prosacea after reading some of the reviews and decided this would be cheaper than another $25.00 doctor visit plus the cost of more of the same expensive creams. I gave it a shot.
Boy, was I surprised. The burning stopped with the very first application and the redness was greatly reduced overnight. I no longer have the dryness that the other ointments caused.
After just 2 or 3 days, my face was back to normal and even my husband was amazed at the quick improvement. Keeping it on hand for flare ups.

Thank God, It worked for me!, February 17, 2009
This review is from: Prosacea Rosacea Treatment, Gel, 0.75 Ounces (Pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
My skin went crazy...it felt like it was on fire. Raw and red and such pain! I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed "MetroLotion" and all it did was burn my skin even more.( This started when I was about 48 years old---other strange health problems were happening at the same time).
I started taking Omega 3 capsules and using Prosacea and my skin is under control. The hideous raw red skin flares occaisionally...and when it does I use Prosecea and it calms down the redness and the pain. I don't use it daily, only when I have a problem. I think that the Omega 3 has helped my skin and some of the other health issues to improve.
