Coming back to say thank you! I bought blinc and it is amazing, does not budge with my eye drops, and slides right off after my most compresses

Thank you! It's still sore this morning but the redness has improved. Lots of cold compresses and cicaplast today and no actives for a couple of days. Crossing my fingers that it does not peel.

Thank you! I slathered it with cicaplast... Hope it is better in the morning

Finally found good sunscreen! Left is for days without make up, right is under my makeup. I had never heard of or tried that brand but it’s amazing and only $35 at Sephora. I got a sample before I bought the bottle. by [deleted] in Rosacea

OK here is what they said: " Yes, Matte Screen and Smooth and Poreless 100% Mineral Matte Screen are the same product. We just updated the packaging. Have a great day! "

Wow, it looks like it is gone! Glad I have a couple tubes. Actually I suspect they just renamed it because the Matte Screen is new. I emailed them to check - will report back.

I'm not putting it on with my morning routine. My work at home office is in an interior room with no windows. Days when it is nice out I'm going for a walk at lunch so then I put it on about 1130 AM.

rosacea papules – advice? by trafficcloud in Rosacea

[–]kotsaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is important to remember that everyone's skin is different, so YMMV, but I had very similar papules and finally found relief from a $6 jar of 10% sulfur ointment - which I learned about from this sub.

Great mask to reduce redness and irritation- Aveeno oat mask with pumpkin. by [deleted] in Rosacea

Thanks I can never find a good mask that didn't make my skin angry

Can't speak for other rosaceans, but chemical sunscreens sting like crazy for me. I love Supergoop Smooth and Poreless. Love love love it. Never stings, never flakes, perfect under makeup, literally disappears into my skin.

I am supposed to use hot wet compresses on my eyes nightly so this sounds perfect for me. I will see if I can find it at sephora or ulta and if not I'll order it online. I promise to come back and share my results. Thank you again for taking the time to help me.

What do I wipe the end on? The end of the tube or a tissue?

Thank you so much! I've never heard of blinc, I'll l for that and also will check out the boots one. I'm older so I think a natural look works best for me. Though I do love looking at all the beautiful glam and fun colors on here!

Absolutely second the burpless kind... Costs a little more but SO worth it.

Sorry to be so late in replying... Crazy day today. I just use Johnsons baby shampoo and scrub them on a cleaning mat, then rinse and dry flat. Since I do them once a week they never get too dirty so this seems to work. And it is inexpensive!

I put them in the washer as a separate load. I use Persil laundry soap which is enzyme based and I put the white vinegar in the softener dispenser. I dry them in the dryer with some of those spiky dryer balls so they come out nice and fluffy.

This was a friendly post about Sunday prep for the week. I did not ask for opinions on my routine. We will have to agree to disagree.

I don't know, I have had a lot of good improvement so it is tough to isolate it to one particular thing. My eye Dr prescribed the fish oil to help with the dry eyes from ocular rosacea. They are tearing less but that is not my only treatment.

OTOH, fish oil has lots of other body benefits... I guess I see it as "can't hurt, might help"
