the best so far!
I have not been 'diagnosed' with rosacea but have sensitive skin which flushes through heat, alcohol etc. I have tried many physical sunscreens (some which have irritated my skin) and this is the best so far. Firstly, it only contains zinc oxide (and at 22.3%) which is in microform (a little bigger than nano I think) so no white cast however much you use. secondly, it contains non-irritating ingredients and anti-oxidants (botanical oils and green tea which is good if you concerned about aging). Thirdly, is is fairly well priced (not cheap but much cheaper than most other cosmetic sunscreens I have tried). Forthly, a little goes a long way. When I first started using this product I thought it might be a little irritating (itchy not flushing) and certainly very greasy, but then I realised I was putting on way too much. Unlike other sunscreens (which add loads of water to make them go further) this does not contain water so it spreads further (and less is needed). I do have dry skin and you can certainly feel this on the skin, (like all physical suncreens) but for me it is most cosmetically elegant of all the serious UVA/UVB sunscreens for senstitive skin/rosacea that I have tried. It is worth mentioning that the ingredients for this are very similar to UV Naturals. So, if, like me, you have wasted lots of money on physical sunscreens that still irritate your skin then this is definately worth a try

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.
