So bummed. My Dermala experiment failed. I started breaking out w/ big red+
hard bumps! GRRR. Had to go back to 2.5% BP and my regular Rx tret. I was SOOOO hoping that a "good bacteria" topical product would work, as I feel

I do not think an oil cleanser is going to help reduce oiliness. That's a myth, IMO. I have+
always had oily skin, and it got better in my 20s after a round of accutane, and then got worse again w/ perimenopause. I have tried many oil cleanse

I would def. see a derm but yes, to me it looks like Rosacea. I have dry, sensitive pale Rosacean ro
skin as well. I have Rosacea for 35 years now but managed to get it under control. See My Notepad for my skincare routine and more info on Rosacea. T

Metrocream reduces Rosacea inflammation like redness & pustules/papules. rop
Many years ago I got an rX, using it twice a day to keep my Rosacea under control. But ever since using Tretinoin Cream I don't have to use Metrocream

Metrocream and -Gel treats Rosacea Pustules & Papules and doesn't do much for redness. rop

Are you putting the epiduo on bare skin, before the vanicream? I would recommend putting it on+
bare skin, before anything else. Also, since your skin is dry but cloggy, I would swap out the AM vanicream for Cosrx BHA liquid blackhead power liqu

Wearing a high SPF/PPD ss daily is most important; esp. when being prone to/having rop
hyperpigmentation issues like melasma. No product/treatment will be effective w/o a good ss. Ingredients like Niacinamide, Vit. C and Hydroquinone m

I would do a course (+/- 3 months) of Oracea (low dose Doxy). Topicals only do so much and esp. rop
because it's been going on so long I would combine oral rX and topical rX treatments. My last Rosacea-flare (4 or 5 years ago) was as worse as yours (
