Linda Sy Mild Oatmeal FacialCleanser
Our gentle non-irritating facial cleanser washes off
stubborn soils, makeup and sunscreen without leaving skin
feeling tight and uncomfortable. It contains colloidal oatmeal
that sops up skin's excess oil/sebum, which is responsible
for clogging pores and causing inflammatory papules. Our mild
cleanser also helps remove dirt, bacteria and dry flakes
without inducing damage to the epidermal barrier. We recommend
this product for those with rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis,
atopic dermatitis and sensitive skin.

Not bad for gentle exfoliation
I couldn't use this as an everyday cleanser, as it is slightly irritating and quite drying. It is however a great remover of hard to remove sunscreen, and I decided to use it once or twice a week as a very mild scrub instead.

Too Drying for Me
I got the sample size (which, BTW, is great. You can try 4 of her products for $10). Tried it once but could tell right away that it was too drying. BUT, I have very dry skin so don't think this would apply to everyone's face.

Good Stuff!
I like this cleanser...it's pleasant and soothing to use, easy to rinse off, removes all makeup and sunscreen, and it totally non-irritating. I never succeed at getting it to lather, so it's more of a milky-gel cleanser to me.

No stinging, gentle cleansing
I have not had any problems with this cleanser. It does not sting and does not seem to make me break out in more papules. I have been happy with it and the Linda Sy Vita Oil. For some reason, the Linda Sy ZinCo sunscreen stings my face.

Linda Sy's Mild Oatmeal Cleans
I know each one of us respond to different products / treatments in different ways. But my skin’s response to Linda Sy's Mild Oatmeal Cleanser has been great. This cleanser has been gentle on my very sensitive skin. Also, my skin has stopped feeling tight. It removes dirt, makeup and even the dry flakes very gently. I use Vita Oil after cleansing and I seriously think the intervals between my flare-ups have reduced to some extent. I think I have found the right cleanser at last.

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.
