ROSACEA & SKINCARE
I have Rosacea ["roh-ZAY-sha"]. It's a chronic but treatable condition that makes my face flush with redness along with blemishes and bumps called papules and pustules. I rarely get cystic acne/pimples but I always seem to have these blemishes. I also have ultra-sensitive skin that reacts quickly to products, stress, and even food/drinks.
I've done everything from organic to the 10-step Korean regimen. Some of it worked, some only worked for a couple of months. I'm still a work in progress and I'll be updating this page for products that worked and didn't work for me (and where to source them in the Philippines).
Here are some of my early Rosacea posts:

These are the products that worked for me so far (both Korean/AB and Western) and where you can get them and know more about them:
Rx | Prescriptions
Galderma's Desowen Cream - this is a Desonide Cream and it's a Holy Grail BUT it's a prescription cream so you have to ask your dermatologist about this.

Mirvaso Gel - not as effective as Desowen but it has less harmful ingredients
