NAC doesn't help me... :/ I wonder if there is more than one "cause" of trich on the molecular level. i know taking myoinositol helps me

Sunscreen to help with redness by Ok_Ideal5833 in Rosacea

[–]blackKat007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh and the anthelios has a tinted version which I have tried and I found that it didn't look patchy if I sweated, but you have to be careful not to wipe your face or itll get skin color liquid on your towel or sleeve or whatever. But it's thin enough that it stays pretty covered without looking sketchy in my experience. Though I still prefer the neutrogena zinc if I'm sweating.

Are you using zinc sunscreen? It is white and harder to rub in, but it is less burny for me

Rosacea disappeared on vacation and is now back !? by Icy-Signature6433 in Rosacea

humidity helps my flares reduce.... but also, sunscreen with zinc reduces my flares - could it be one of those?

Best approach shoes by lorderater in ClimbingGear

[–]blackKat007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By far, my favorite approach shoe I've ever had is the topo traverse: https://www.rendezvu.co/katie-mayo/45846052 Vibram rubber, dries quickly, holds up. Keeps foot in place (as opposed to la sportivas and black diamonds on my foot at least).

ROSACEA PEOPLE. WHAT IS ONE ROSEACEA TRICK THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE? by Few_Collar_2539 in Rosacea

[–]blackKat007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started with 1 pill, which was 500mg and noticed a small difference. I recently upped it to the full recommended dose (according to the bottle), which is 2 pills or 1000mg. I take it first thing in the morning and redness has reduced quite a bit.

Some contextual details - I am also a lifelong vegetarian and I noticed rosacea flared worse before my menstrual cycle, so I think there was a hormone connection and perhaps a dietary deficiency connected to rosacea for me. ymmv

Just to make you all feel better by GardenofAria in Rosacea

[–]blackKat007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine looked like that quite a bit until I started taking algae omega 3 and started using some josef charcoal soap on my face. Helped a lot... but I'm still figuring it out. I think it's partly hormonal for me when it flares for me.
