I heard shielo is good too! I havnt tried them though – but here is my situation:

I don’t have servere rosacea , but i used to have alot of redness on my face. I was happy with Made from Earth’s Rosehip + Hibiscus Face Serum (its for rosacea) and after 1 month of using it, it reduce a lot of my redness and even got rid of some breakouts. It doesnt dry up your skin. . . cause you need that moisture to maintain a balance.

Just do not use alot of the product. Only a little is needed to calm down your skin.

I have been suffering with the occasional redness on my face for a couple of years. My face would look like it was sunburned. I had to cover up with lots of heavy makeup and it felt awful. Finally made the appointment to see my doctor when I couldn’t stand it anymore.

The doctor gave me 2 different perscriptions for gels and ointments. They seemed to work but it took weeks to see any results and my face still had to be covered with makeup to hide the redness. I bought Shielo’s Complexion Moisturizer after reading some of the reviews and decided this would be cheaper than another doctor visit plus the cost of more of the same expensive creams. I gave it a shot.

Boy, was I surprised. The burning stopped with the very first application and the redness was greatly reduced overnight. I no longer have the dryness that the other ointments caused.

After just 2 or 3 days, my face was back to normal and even my husband was amazed at the quick improvement. Keeping it on hand for flare ups.

ive tried the aveeno ultra calming mosturizer with spf15 for my rosacea and it made it worse…what i do now is i pour some of the aveeno baby bath powder into a tiny cup with little bit of water and put it as a face mask leave it on for like two minutes then get in the shower and and wash my face last, wait for my face to get well dry then apply a tiny bit of aveeno baby moisturizer because the aveeno powder can make your face dry and it works very good for me….one advice never ever!!!!! put steroid cream on ur face and go out in the sun that really made me break out my face was so bad i was on doryx 150mg a day for a month now on oracea 40mg my derm told me to take it for two months you just have to have a lot of patience because it takes a while to clear up.

We have a winner! Moxiehart (I love that screen name!) was the first to post the answer we were looking for – the bowl of oatmeal in the picture represents the key featured ingredient in Aveeno. Yay Moxie! We don’t have a prize for you right now but we’ll see what we can do in the future. (We’re thinking about opening a Brain’s store in the near future!).
