I have rosacea on my face and am wondering what others have had success with. I don't want to have to go the route of medications if I don't have to. I am looking more for suggestions of natural products or skin care products you can purchase without a pres:cription.  
 
I realize this is a somewhat trivial matter, however it is affecting my self-esteem. I'm not a huge make-up wearer and don't really want to become one at this point in my life just to cover up the embarrassing redness on my cheeks.

Hi there, I use Nerium Night cream and have found it helps a ton with Rosacea, not to mention wrinkles! Feel free to send me an email if you want to hear more. dpawchuk@hotmail.com.

I sell a product call Seacret. I sell it because they have products that help conditions Rosacea. I can start you off with some samples to see how you like the product. Message me if you are interested. These products really do help!

Have you considered food as contributing to the rosacea. www.rosacea.org/patients/materials  
Wheat is definitely a trigger for me even though not on the above list.

I’d go to Dr.Sneath at Skin clinics. You can get your doc to refer you. He offered me different antibiotics but I didn’t want to take those because they interacted with my other meds. Also 2 pres:cription creams Elidel and Finacea. I can’t remember if the Elidel worked, but the Fineacea does. He also mentioned laser but I haven’t researched that yet. A good quality skin care line will help. I find my skin is very dry and sensitive since I’ve got rosacea. Two of my fave companies are La Roche Posay and Eau Thermale Avène. Both have great products and also rosacea lines. You can get La Roche at Skin Clinics, Shoppers Drug Mart or online. Eau you can get at Shoppers or online. For make up I’d recommend Smashbox Primer (The green tube) it really helps with redness. And I use Sephora’s brand of foundation it covers the red right up. Also certain things can make rosacea worse like wind, weather, stress, etc. I know how you feel I don’t like to go out without makeup any more.

I sent you a PM

google demodex and rosacea. If that is your culprit, then they suggest using tea tree oil methods to clean.

Just checked my inbox and I didn't see one in there from you. Would you be able to try again?

I might give those skin care products a try. Thank you!  
 
I've tracked it for a while and it gets worse when it's warmer out (or when I'm hot) and when I'm under stress. Unfortunately two things I can't always control. Food doesn't seem to affect it much as far as I've been able to tell. So I figure if I can take care of my skin as much as possible, at least I'm doing something.

and have for 20+years. In the winter I use plain old EVOO (Extra virgin olive oil) to cleanse at night, my skin feels amazing after. I have had laser, but that was ages ago, it did work and all the little broken capillaries that come with years of rosacea were gone, I think I might look into laser treatments again. There is no cure for rosascea, only trying to figure out your triggers. I am to the point where I now wear a light foundation just to even out my skin tone, but it has to be oil free, and hypoallergenic.

I really think a laser treatment through dr Sneath  
Will work  
I’ve heard it takes 3 to 4 treatments. I’m saving up for it  
Also for makeup, I use younique touch foundation - the color is velour  
It it very light texture and dried matte and natural looking  
It covers the red on my cheeks soooooo nicely!!  
Good luck!!
