Looking For A Rosacea Remedy
I have been looking for a better rosacea remedy lately, I have noticed that
my skin has been a little darker than the normal pink. It gets dark pink when
its too hot and I also noticed the skin next to my nose has gotten a bit bigger
than I thought it was. It is not anywhere else and I am getting frustrated.
Also I have been using Aveeno Ultra Calming and it doesn’t even work. What do
I do?
There has been some discussion in some forums of the recent studies implicating
that higher levels of certain peptides (cathelicidins) can have an effect in
the development of rosacea. So I’m feeling a bit cautious and more than a little
concerned about introducing a rosacea remedy with any peptides to my skin.
The Neostrata Company from Canada has introduced a new rosacea remedy called
Wrinkle Repair that may actually do just that (at least that is what I have
been reading). The active ingredient seems to be another peptide called (Matrixyl)
which appears to be available in a great variety of other products as well.
As a woman in my late thirty’s having had rosacea for the last six and a half
years, I have tried make-up and concealer and possibly all the products for
rosacea at my local drug store including Calm and Correct Line for Rosacea Skin
by Joey of New York and Clinique Redness Relief for Rosacea Skin both of which
close friends had recommended.
Getting back to my question about the Neostrata Company’s new product called
Wrinkle Repair I wouldn’t mind trying this around my eyes and even on my forehead
but in addition to my usual concern in using any new skin products, there is
the peptide issue.
Has anyone here used the Neostrata rosacea remedy product or anything else
with Matrixyl? Did you have any adverse effects from it?
