Dear Dr. Syed,
Thank you for your email. I am always glad to hear about new possible treatments for rosacea. I posted the AAD presentation about your study and green tea cream. I have a tremendous number of questions and excitement about the cream; however, most cannot afford the cream. I truly understand the labor intensive demands of small business productoin of products. Have you considered taking on a larger partner that would listen to your instructions and signifiicantly reduce costs. I had several people order it and when everything was said and done it was nearly $160 for a 1.7 ounce jar. You had many excited rosacea sufferers until they saw that number and then they moved on. That is a shame. Once again I have had first hand experience with several small dermatology skin care products and know what time and investiment is involved, but the price will be quite limiting.
I wish you the best.
Geoffrey
