Good Cleansers for Rosacea

I was told I have rosacea about a year ago. I'm having a real hard time finding cleansers that don't freak my skin out. Anything I use has to be soap free, oil free, fragrance free, the works. I typically use Oil of Olay cleansers but sometimes it's like my skin is getting used to it and not responding. I'm currently having a bad flareup and even the cream I bought over the counter specifically for rosacea isn't working. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Check into Mario Badescu products. Go to their website, fill out questionaire and they will send you free samples! Love their poducts! Have you seen a derm? I know of a cleanser called Plexion (RX needed) and it is for Rosacea. If not what about a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil?

Eucerin has a redness reducing line and everything can be bought separately. They have a cleanser, day lotion, night cream and anti-aging cream. Clinique has an extensive redness reducing line including their new face powder which sells for $32.50.

Have you ever tried Mary Kay? I know a few people that have rosacea that have had success with Mary Kay products. If you would like to try please give me a call. ###-###-#### E. Baker

I use Cetaphil/ Target has a generic brand. It is non-alkaline, non-comedogenic, and fragrance free. It's very easy on the skin. I do not recommend the bar soap, it leaves a heavy residue on skin. I have the same problem w/ Rosacea. Oh, and I just recently found out Clinique has a new line for rosacea. Or you could ask your doctor. Mine perscribed this stuff called Metronidazole Topical Gel. Hope this helps!
