Thank you. I really don't believe I have rosacea. I think the dermatologist I saw was prescribing this because it helps with acne. I'm not sure if he thought I did or not, I'm one of those patients that doesn't ask the necessary questions!!! TIA for any help, I appreciate it.

Actually, WH is not harsh at all and doesn't dry out your skin like alcohol does. It shrinks puffy under-eyes as well. I follow it up with wrinkle cream and moisturizer anyway so my skin is just soft and smooth. I am in my forties.

I have adult acne too
Shaun gave me Dermalogica for it, it's been working great. I still get a random pimple or two, but nothing like when I was using Clearasil or other Wal-Mart crap.

Maybe it's because your skin is used to it. Shaun's an aesthetician, I'd trust her with my face if she said it was good to lather bird crap on it (I've heard Victoria Beckham does this, it is kinda gross though).
[edit]: Did I spell that right?

OK, Yes Finacea is a topical cream used to treat rosacea related acne. Soooo the Dermatologist must think that you have some sort of rosacea that is causing you to have the acne. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which are good. You should see your symptoms improving within 4 weeks. How long have you been using it? If it does not change I would go back to the Derm and explain this and they can prescribe something else. As far as I know this is an early attempt at treating acne related rosacea and something stronger can be prescribed if needed. Hope I helped you out.

That's exactly what I was going to say.
I just went last week, and my copay is $50 and I can't afford that. Not to mention, I know that I don't have rosacea. Someone mentioned that you suggested Dermagolica (sp?) because they had adult acne, I was thinking I might try that. I'm not the healthiest eater and I do eat my fair share of sugar--pretty sure that is causing it. Thank you so much for your advice.

Dermalogica kind of pricey, but it's worth it. The face wash lasts a while too, you barely need any to get a good lather on your face. The oil control lotion wasn't quite enough for me; I'm prone to dry skin - so she suggested the active moist and that did the trick. I gave up my pricey Bare Minerals make up for this stuff
That's one hell of a copay though. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get my wisdom teeth out. I may have to take out a loan and skip that new Mac computer

So happy to hear that the active moist is working out for you. God I love Dermalogica.

She acts like a doctor, like she knows all, yet is smart enough to keep herself out of legal trouble by making sure to add the line "I cannot diagnose"...smooth

She's not acting like a doctor. She's trying to give the best advice she can for someone that's interested, she happens to be rather well informed on the topic.
Go pick on someone that deserves it. There are plenty here.

Oh Honey, get your knickers out of a twist, no one is attacking you here. You are obviously feeling quite threatened by my knowledge without even feeling aware of your inferiority to me.
Hmmmm, maybe you should just pick up a book now and then and you won't have that problem. My job is to help people with skin problems and give them advice which is precisely what I was trying to do because I LOVE what I do. No one asked for your two cents on your insecurity.

Shaun, your text hurts my eyeballs.

Yeah, okay.
Estee has been posting advice for those who asked and information about the job she does. She is telling people that they should have a Dr diagnose them so they know for sure what they have. I see nothing wrong with that. Then you come on here and say "She acts like a doctor, like she knows all, yet is smart enough to keep herself out of legal trouble by making sure to add the line "I cannot diagnose"...smooth". She never said she was a doctor, but is obviously knowledgeable about the subject. You popped on her like a teenage drama queen.
Thanks estee for your information, it is appreciated!

Thank you, I'm glad to see who the real immature one is in the room!!! haaaaaa.
Awe I feel so warm and fuzzy inside. Don't have time for this chick's catty crap. She is quite the cat with some serious insecurities that I just don't have. Someone needs to mind their own "beez wax"
