Cetaphil Gentle Cleansing Bar
 

Cetaphil bentle Cleansing bar
This is the best cleansing bar I have found for thoroughly cleansing my skin to remove makeup, dirt, etc... without further irriating my rosacea. It's not too heavy or greasy like so many cleansers I have tried.

Works for me
I tried this after first using the liquid version. While the liquid irritated my face terribly and caused itching and bumps, this one has been fine. It doesn't make my face any redder and seems to clean it very well. I would recommend it to anyone. I still have some samples left, but when they're out, I plan to buy more.

For Full Body Care
The Cetaphil Cleansing Bar works wonderfully for me. I use it as a full-body bar because I was frequently getting flushing on my neck and upper chest. When daily use of the bar with Metro-Gel at night, I haven't needed courses of antibiotics for nearly a year. By the way, I'm 43 and many people tell me my face makes me look 35. Cetaphil thank you

Dry and irritated skin
Thought this might be gentle, but it just made my skin worse. I think it was too drying and caused my irritated skin to become more inflamed. I have had difficulty with prescribed Plexion cleanser as well, perhaps the shared use of sulfur is to blame. I would not recommend it for moderate, papopustular sufferers: find something gentler!

Soothing
I have cronic rosacea, & like others, have tried many different products looking for relief from the burning and itching that makes a person want to tear the skin off their face. This product was recommended to my over a year ago by my pharmacist. And, I love it! Not only does it not irritate my skin, but it is so instantly soothing that I literally let out a sigh when the lather is applied to my inflammed skin. I have very dry skin, but I have not found the soap to be drying; only calming and refreshing to very "hot" skin.

What would it be like
If you could develop or formulate the perfect skin care line for Rosacea, what would it be like? What would you put in it? What would you leave out?

Excellent and relatively cheap
Well, it's not dirt cheap, $5 per bar in Canada, but a bar lasts a long time. I use it twice a day with tepid water and no washcloth. I find that not only does it clean my skin gently, with no irritation, but that my evening wash (outside of the shower) often brings my skin down to its relatively mild baseline redness for the rest of the evening. It can be slightly drying sometimes, but my natural oils come back quickly.

Rosacea Subtypes
Subtype 1: Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea
characterized by flushing and persistent redness, and may also include visible blood vessels.
Subtype 2: Papulopustular rosacea
characterized by persistent redness with transient bumps and pimples.
Subtype 3: Phymatous rosacea
characterized by skin thickening, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue.
Subtype 4: Ocular rosacea
characterized by ocular manifestations such as dry eye, tearing and burning, swollen eyelids, recurrent styes and potential vision loss from corneal damage.


Rosacea Stages
Pre-Rosacea
the first cardinal sign of rosacea: blood vessels dilate to more stimuli, open wider and stay open for longer periods of time compared to normal persons. No visible damage can normally be seen.
Mild Rosacea
begins when the facial redness induced by flushing persists for an abnormal length of time - usually 1/2 an hour or more after a trigger. Those who have frequent pre-rosacea flushing are highly susceptible to progressing to mild rosacea. Some of the common triggers for a facial flush are heat, cold, emotions, exercise, topical irritants and allergic reactions.
Moderate Rosacea
as facial flushing becomes more frequent and intense, vascular damage occurs. This can result in long lasting redness, swelling and inflammatory papules and pustules. Telangiectasia (damaged micro blood vessels, often visible on the surface of the skin) may be noticed in the areas where flushing is worst.
Severe Rosacaea
characterised by intense bouts of facial flushing, severe inflammation, facial pain, swelling and burning sensations. Sufferers may develop intolerance to products they were able to use before. Also inflammatory papules, pustules and nodules may be present. Some experience a bulbous enlargement of the nose, known as rhinophyma. This is just a guide, you may of course experience symptoms outside these ranges.
