Karen's Botanicals Green Tea Serum
Green Tea Serum is a light blend of aloe vera, green tea extract and precious plant oils formulated to cool inflammatory conditions such as Rosacea. Use as a light daily moisturizer, or for treatment during flare up or irritation. This product absorbs quickly and easily into the skin and can be used during day or night. Contains sea buckthorn oil which is a unique, natural mixture of physiologically active substances and elements, such as:
* carotenoids (carotene, lycopene, zeaxanathin)
* tocopherols (vitamin E, including alpha, beta, gamma and delta tocopherols)
* sterols (campesterol, beta-sitosterol, sigma sterol)
* vitamins (K, B-1, B-2, B-5, B-6)
* flavonoids (vitamins P, PP)
* fatty acids (palmitic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, beheic, ursolic, palmitoleic)
The high carotenoid content in conjunction with the other bioactive substances is responsible for its extreme skin repair properties. The use of sea buckthorn oil quickly regulates damaged skin or mucous membranes. Sea buckthorn oil also has anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and protective properties. Combined with the soothing properties of green tea, this serum is a wonderful addition to your skin care regimen!

Incredible!
I was told I had rosacea for years and tried every product there was! Nothing worked! Then I found Karen Botanicals green tea serum. I noticed a difference with one use. Within a week I no longer had "rosacea". My redness was gone. I am older and I have to tell you, I couldn't have done this without the owners of Caren at www.carenonline.com. Not only did they help me with determing what products would be good for my skin, but led me to this serum and I bought new cleanser and moisturizer too. I no longer have any redness. I now think that my skin was reacting to chemicals in other products. I am so impressed I want to tell everyone.

Very calming to my skin
I bought this after reading the review listed and have to say that though I've only been using it for a little over a week, I've really seen an improvement in skin. Very soothing and my red cheeks have paled back to barely pink. The people at carenonline.com sent other samples (evanhealy) to try as well, but advised me to only test one product at a time so I'll post the results of the samples after I get a chance.

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.
