Suggestions for dry, rosacea skin

Post by junomacguff » Tue Feb 01, 2011 6:45 pm

Hi! I'm new here and would love some recs for very dry, very sensitive rosacea-prone skin. I just want products that will soothe my poor cheeks. Thanks!! :)

Oatmeal Serum immediately comes to mind.... Any other info you can give me to narrow things down a bit? Your age, current routine, etc?

I am 31 and currently use Cerave Cleanser and Lotion with La Roche Posay Anthelios SX during the day. I'm allergic to lavender and menthol/mint is a big no-no for me.

Since you have the basics that are working for you, I would just try adding a serum to hydrate your skin for starters. The Oatmeal is the most hydrating and calming. Put it on the skin after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizer.

Okay, great. I'll check that out. I'd like to try a moisturizer too, any you recommend?

The Argan & Goji Berry or Intensive. For rosacea, I would recommend trying the Emu.
