Miracle cream!
I just thought that I would write a quick review on this product as I never thought that anything would clear up my skin and stop it burning and looking bright red.I am only 25 and had rosacea for about 3 years,nothing prescribed helped at all,makeup looked awful,it was uncomfortable and depressing.Then I saw my accupuncturist for some back pain relief and whilst there enquired about my skin,he gave me this cream,first of all it really stings but dont be put off,my eyes still run everytime i put it on.On the second week your skin appears worse as its working then the normal colour returns,the spots disappear,your face may be flaky for a week or two(impossible to keep makeup on) but the three month final result are so worth while,my skin is like it was before any spots,healthy soft and balanced.I recomend it to everyone,and I only got through 1 pot every month and a half,applying 3 times a day.I am so much happier now,I feel pretty again.

Burning!
Day One: No results.
Days Two and Three: Skin looked white and fabulous!
Days Four - Six: Extreme dryness and flakiness. Despite what other people may say, I could not solve this with baby oil or any other type of moisturization.
Day Seven: Skin still very white and dry. And the intense neuropathic burning/itching started. Prior to this, the only time I had neuropathic pain was when my rosacea was horrible because I quit using a steroid cream (that induced the rosacea) cold turkey.
Day Eight: Discontinued.
About two weeks later after the pain went away, I tried it again. You have to apply it VERY lightly (wet your finger and run it over the product to get a very fine film). My skin got very dry again, and as I thought the neuropathic pain may have been brought on from my skin being so incredibly dry, I stopped. I tried again later, just applying it at night every other day, and I still got extreme dryness.
I think the zinc oxide may have been what helped my skin, and since there's ways of using zinc oxide without the dryness and possible neuropathic pain, I chunked this. Too expensive for too many side effects. This is just my experience, however; other people claim good results with it.

Don't ruin your eyes
Tried this product for several days. The fumes felt like they were burning off my corneas! Not to mention my nose. I'm amazed that anyone can actually tolerate this. Tried it a week later with the same results. This may have originated in China, but I suspect it was invented during the Tung Dynasty. Time for an update!

worth trying
I've used this product successfully for two years now and only need to use it once or twice a week for maintaining clear, itch-free skin. It is difficult to use in the beginning and I could only tolerate the tiniest amount every other day, but it is worth persevering with it for the end results. To start with I would just lightly touch the cream with one finger and press barely a fingerprint of cream onto the reddest areas and leave a day or two if the skin got too dry. After a few weeks the flakiness of my skin improved and now doesn't flake at all. The red areas and itching, together with the ever-present pimples around my nose have all gone. My nose still reddens more than average if I drink alcohol or eat too much sugar, but otherwise I look normal!

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.
