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.

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.

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.

I tried this with high hopes based on all the positive reviews and advertising. It did not help and in fact made my skin worse. It dried my skin to a near crisp in no time, had a stinging sensation, and activated the redness rather than calming it. So I have to agree with others who have said that this product is definitely NOT for everyone who suffers roseacea.

This is the most effective treatment I've ever used for rosacea; I just stumbled across it in a store and really didn't expect it to make much of a difference, since most gels and creams (including ones prescribed by a dermatologist) never really improved the situation. It's actually a homeopathic remedy (sulphur 1x), so it may not be the exact remedy that you need for your particular skin condition, but for my symptoms (redness, extreme dry patches, bumps) it was finally a very effective solution to a long-standing problem. It's definitely worth a try. I highly recommend it.

As someone with both rosacea and super sensitive skin, I was naturally hesitant about trying Prosacea. However, I've now been using it for over three years and have had pretty good success with it.

I don't doubt that some folks have had problems because really all skin is not the same and rosacea varies in intensity, number of outbreaks, etc.

What I like about this gel is that aside from working, there is no smell, it is easily absorbed, and lasts a few weeks (I don't need to use it every nite; it works well enough to use every third day at times.) It is non-drying and doesn't cause my skin to flake, which is really important to me as my skin seems to dry out and flake from almost anything. And it does what matters: reduces the redness and "calms down" the rosacea. (FYI: For me, the gel is neither cooling/soothing nor is it stinging. It's neutral, which is fine by me.)

I've used several of the Eucerin products designed for redness associated with rosacea. They work, off and on, but not as consistently as prosacea.

Overall, it's a good value in my opinion.

Given it's price, it's worth trying a tube to see if it works for you.

I have been plagued with roseaca for years and years. I tried a prescription cream with little results after weeks of use.

TWO DAYS of use and my bright red spider veins and patches were pink. Of course, I redden up more when I'm hot (very frequent) and was amazed that the red was not as bright as usual. I'm continuing to see less and less redness as I use this (2 weeks now) and can't wait to see results over the long term.

Like other reviewers, I only need the barest amount for cheeks, nose and chin. It's not greasy (like the rx cream I used), I haven't noticed any odor, and it is absorbed quickly. Zip, zap and I'm ready for moisturizer!

God bless whoever came up with this miracle!

I've had rosacea for years - just a redness in my cheeks and nose. A prescription topical gel kept it in check. But then I started getting deep painful bumps kind of like pimples, but they lasted for weeks and were really ugly. I did some reading and realized they were another type of rosacea. My prescription gel did nothing. But Prosacea cleared them up. Definitely worth it.

Made my mild rosacea worse! Zenmed didn't work for me so I tried this based on the great reviews. First day, it improved the itchiness and dryness. Then after that, it made my face more itchy and raw. As soon as I stopped using it, my face went back to normal. I still have my red bumps, but atleast my face isn't irritated, itchy and unbearable anymore.

This did not improve my Rosacea but didn't make it worse - did nothing at all so was a waste of money. The things that have helped me the most are various zinc oxide creams, black African soap, and Clearasil Ultra Overnight Scrub. I guess Rosacea is one of those problems where a one size cure does not fit all.
