It was my impression that Melanotan, in both incarnations, provided only a way of concealing rosacea--the melanin in the skin masking the redness. I could see how it would make skin less dry and sensitive, due to the increased oil production, but actively decreasing redness is a whole 'nother story.
Then again, I've heard that Melanotan II is an anti-inflammatory, so maybe that had something to do with it?

Yes at day 4-5 my redness had near enough gone completely, with no UV exposure. I don't believe my skin had darkened either (but it definitely did when I used the sunbeds). Eithen going outside in the freezing cold causes no redness apart from a little common sniffy nose. I haven't injected for about 2 weeks and still there is no present redness, I will record how long it takes to return, though I am hoping it will not.

That is possible. I will research into it more.
