The month of April is Rosacea month along with earth month and many of you probably don’t think that affects a lot of the county. Rosacea is very common and mainly affects the skin on your face. It can cause redness, inflammation and discoloration on the nose, chin, cheeks, and forehead. Over time, it may worsen and blood vessels may become apparently visible. Rosacea is a commonly misunderstood skin disorder that in fact, affects over 16 million Americans. Worst part is, most of them don’t know it and don’t know how to recognize the conditions nor know what to do about it. Being dedicated to skin care ourselves, we are here to help and we’re introducing you to SkinMedica’s wonder products .

For my redness I use aloe or cool compresses….but I need to try products like these. Thanks!
For my redness, I have to use aloe vera gel that I store in the fridge. Sometimes my redness is so bad that I cut up cold english cucumber slices and place them on my face. I still have not found a product that would cure my redness. Have tried many things..
Thank you for sharing your fabulous comments- be sure to also ask me any SkinMedica questions on the “Ask an Expert” link! I am here to discuss effective, anti- visible redness at- home regimens, along with any skincare concerns or needs.

For my sensitive skin and redness;I use Lumene serum for sensitive skin at night, neutrogena oil-free lotion for sensitive skin at day,stila hydrating primer mixed w stila green-tinted corrective cream…I also found that Sheishedo hydrating makeup calms my irritated skin. I have yet to find a face wash that doesn’t irritate my super-sensitive skin.
Cutting out alcohol cut the redness in my skin. Too bad I haven’t kept it up…
1) always use a sunscreen because UV triggers and worsen the redness. My dermatologist recommended ANthelios 60 fluid. it s awesome: light, mattifying.
2) i use to use Rosaliac from La Roche-Posay and it worked wonder. now i am alos trying in my routine Toleriaane ULTRA
Started TNS skin recovery last month on advise of a plastic surgeon. I LOVE it and THAT reduced my rosacea!! Already after month use. I also use the moisturizer of skin medica and I love thy too very light but very soothing ! My husband wants a regimen too now;)
What I’ve found to work with Rosacea or redness is changing my diet, drinking green tea. Still looking for that miracle skincare that will help the redness.
I have had good results with Perricone Pigment Corrective!
I havent found a way yet. Most of the time i let it cure naturally like after one night, it will reduce or if it comes to me in the morning, i use foundation to cover the redness.
I have noticed a huge difference in the redness of my skin by adding a high ppd broad spectrum sunscreen to my regimen. Suncreens are not created equal. It’s so important to block out those UVA rays not just the UVB.
I use Olay deep cleansing face wash w/ witch hazel for combo/oily skin. Then a daily moisturizer for sensitive skin.
I don’t know. I need help! By mid-day my foundation has fallen into my poors and my face is as red as it was before.
I use sunscreen everyday and try to avoid spicy food and caffeine.
I haven’t found anything to help with the redness other than some aloe…
Most of the time, I try to cover the redness up with green concealer, but that’s not necessarily treating the problem.
Would love to give this a try ~
Thanks for the giveaway ^_^
Sunscreen, concealer and foundation to cover the redness!
I use a cream based oil free green corrector under my foundation for my broken capillaries. No clogged pores and blends well.
Always looking for the better product tho!
For redness, I go to’s are cold aloe vera gel, a cold whole milk soak or a cold yogurt & honey mask. Those usually work to calm any redness I have.
I started using a Clarisonic instead of a washcloth to reduce my redness.
I have found that using Rosewater helps.
Hands down the one thing I’ve done to cut down my redness is use Jane Iredale PurePressed Base. I noticed that when I started using this instead of regular foundation, powder or other mineral powders, my redness and rosacea basically disappeared. It made sense to me since foundation sits on your face all day!!
I use Tns Essential Serum
I use Skin Medica TNS Essential Serum
I use Skinmedica Essential Serum. It has healed my skin and calmed down frequent redness. It is an all in one great serum
Briana- I hope that you will try SkinMedica’s Sensitive Skin Cleanser and let me know what you think- it is incredibly soothing and calming on the most sensitive of skins, including post- procedure.
Lina- So happy that your plastic surgeon has you on TNS Recovery Complex! It is definitely a critical part of the sensitive or visibly red skin regimen. I hope you will try Redness Relief CalmPlex over top as your moisturizer, and let me know what you think! My boyfriend also has his TNS routine… why do they always want what we are loving?!
Carol P- So happy that you are a fan of TNS Essential Serum- this product is SkinMedica’s top seller and definitely has quite a following! Many of our physician partners call it their “laser in a bottle”! That is a bold statement. I personally refer to it as the Rolls-Royce of skincare.
Sunscreen is VITAL not just for treating the rosacea but for overall skin health, so I am pretty diligent about this. I also use cold compresses, which feel great! I have been dying to try the Skinmedica TNS Recovery Complex-I have not yet tried this only because of the cost. But from what I read, it is SO worth it. I am currently using the 15% AHA-BHA Face Cream and would love to also try at some point the Redness Relief CalmPlex.
thank you!!
I have found creams & lotions with chamomile & calendula are very soothing/calming to my sensitive skin. Sun protection is also vital.
I have not found the perfect combo, but it seems that a cleanser makes the most difference. Currently using Kinerase Daily Gentle Cleanser…
Something I’ve found that helps a lot is making sure when I wash my face to keep the water luke warm. If it’s too hot it makes my skin really red & irritated.
I use metrogel, a topical clear gel at the moment but does not completely work. I avoid alcohol, mexican food and coffee. It doesn’t seem right that you would have to avoid the three things you love. I was told by my physician roseacea is so common with red haired, fair skinned people. Guess that made him feel better to tell me that but it doesn’t get rid of my red face. HELP ME
The products I use now are from the Rosacea Care brand. They are the Ultra Mild cleanser and Strontium calming lotion. Both work fairly well,although I’d like to see if the SkinMedica products would work even better. For makeup I use L’Oreal True Match Naturale mineral makeup. Works pretty good, although as I’ve gotten older, it seems to show those darm pesky lines more. Also, I avoid extreme hot or cold foods, extreme hot or cold outside temperatures and spices. I’ve had rosacea now for 20 years and it’s only been the last few years that more products and medications have become available that actually work. Oracea works wonders for me. Way back in 1991 there weren’t any makeup lines specially made to help heal and cover rosacea. It’s great to know that now many makeup companies are seeing that there is a very real need to help all of us who suffer and struggle with rosacea and just want to try and have clear skin. BTW…Suoer giveaway package! Thanks and Good Luck to all.
I will use aloe + yogurt as mask. it works!
I am a redhead who burns just thinking about the beach. Within 5 minutes of being in the sun, I develop red bumps on all the exposed parts of my body which first itch like crazy, causing me to scratch and scratch until my skin begins to bleed and then my skin is excruciatingly painful.About 10 years ago, I went on a vacation to Jamaica and did a very stupid thing. It was raining on and off all day, I lay on a chaise lounge and fell asleep for a couple of hours. When I woke up, my face was a bright red and by that evening, I was shaking and had developed a fever. Within a day or so, my facial skin had literally turned into a sheet of leather. An Islander saw me and took pity on me. He climbed up a tree and with a huge machete, cut a huge green thick leaf off the tree, gave it to me,cut the end off and rubbed this clear, gooey stuff all over my face. He told me to keep this leaf in the frig all the time and to have my face covered with it all the time, round the clock. He met me in front of my hotel 3 times a day, rubbed this goop over my face, cut down new leaves from the tree and gave them to me to refrigerate. This continued for 12 days. By day 4, this leathery skin simply wiped off and by the time I left, by day 14, my skin looked beautiful,no freckles, no redness, and actually, as an added benefit, all my lines had disappeared. I asked him what this goop was and he told me it was fresh aloe cut right from the tree in its most natural state, no additives, no preservatives, just aloe from Mother nature. When I got back to the states and went to my dermatologist, he thought I had cheated on him and had a face peel with another doctor. He did a number of tests to check the damage to the inner skin and lucky for me, I had none which was hard to believe. He was shocked to learn that it was pure aloe that I had applied to this terrible burn because if I had gone to him with the same burn, he would have prescribed medicine that would never have had the same wonderful results as the fresh aloe. He told me that I was extremely lucky because without the aloe and the kindness from this complete stranger who took pity on me,(and who refused to accept a penny for meeting me 3 times a day and nursing me back to health), my face would have been severely permanently scarred for life. Now, whenever I start seeing patches of redness on my face, I go to whole foods and purchase a branch off the aloe tree, refrigerate it and apply a thick layer to my face every few hours for a day or so, staying indoors. By day 2, all the redness is gone and it usually wards off another attack for several months. The more often I use it, the longer it is between attacks. For me, pure aloe vera right off the tree is the best remedy for treating redness of the skin. At least it worked for me!
I had some success with laser treatments. However, they are painful so I didn’t go back for the complete series. I usually use cover up to conceal it.
I’ve suffered with rosacea, along with acne since i was 11 years old and didn’t realize what it was until about 17 years old. I believe it developed when my hormones started taking action. I’ve tried all kinds of products for redness, acne and it’s gone away some over the years but is still present in my face. I improved my diet hoping it’ll reflect through my skin, which has helped. I have yet to find a product to really make me see and feel a difference.
I havent found anything and I need help!
As my mom and her mother before, I use whole fat milk to reduce the redness in my skin!!!I use as a you would use a toner. Thank you
I use a yogurt mask when I have a lot of redness and also watch my life and habits for triggers (like spicy foods and high stress). I use a clarisonic with delicate brushhead (instead of a washcloth) and a very mild cleanser like Dove. Relaxation is key to controlling redness, so I really focus on meditating, deep breathing, etc. to try to heal and calm myself when I have reactive skin.
I have tried using aloe which works to some extent.
I use whole milk.Let the milk sit out till room temperature, use it as a compress or dip a cloth and use all over your face
To be honest, I haven’t found anything that works consistently on my rosacea. I’d love to try these products!
using aloe
I use aloe vera gel for my redness along with Amaraté’s aqua veil pure hydration serum. I find that it helps cool and calm down my face.
I have been doing an oil cleanse every other night for the past week. I massage a mixture of 30% castor oil and 70% grapeseed oil (EVOO or almond oil can sub for grapeseed) into my skin for 10 minutes. Lay a warm washcloth over my face for a minute, then after it cools, use it to gently wipe the oil off my face. Then I massage a few drops of argan oil into my face. I had very oily skin as a child and now have combination skin, so I was hesitant to try this method. The redness started to go away almost immediately. In just one week my skin looks so much better that I no longer have to use a heavy foundation to try to cover up all the redness. My skin looks better than it has in years.
Not drinking red wine, and Chanel Precision solution Destressante calming emulsion
I have found using a gentle foaming cleanser, with temid water helps to clean without feeling tight. I however get the acne like symptoms that go along with this which depending on how bad can be controled with a Sulfa based presecription that I use nightly. I find that I have to use serum based moistirizers to get these breakouts at a minimum. Otherwise a prescription of Doxycycline for a week usually does the trick for a few months
Aloe, aloe, and aloe!!!
I use a milk wash and milk soap. Then I use a squalene and MSN (organic sulfur) soothing cream with aloe vera. It helps soothe the skin and it seems to work for the most part, but sometimes I still get inflamed redness on the forehead and around the nose and I have no idea why.
Healthy Diet and stay out of the sun.
A healthy diet and stay out of the sun.
Eucerin calming cream or redness relief is about the only thing I’ve found that even works a little so far. Still looking though!
I find that avoiding many of the foods and environmental substances to which I’m allergic helps. My skincare begins on the inside.
I use lots of concealer to hide all my red spots. It would be fabulous to use less make up because I found a skin care product like this to cover it up instead!
I have tried lots of redness product right now i’m using murad
Would love to try this product. Always looking for something to help with my condition. A real bonus would be if it worked.
I am a red headed Irish girl and get red skin frequently. Especially from running outside in the elements. I am currently using Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream. Plus, I routinely boil a hot cup of cammomile tea and keep it in a spray bottle in the frige. I use it as a toner, and it really does help!
I use gentle products, like Cetaphil cleanser and Clinique’s CX Soothing Moisturizer. I also double up on sunscreen by using a day moisturizer with SPF and an SPF powder (Bare Essential’s SPF Mineral Veil, or Peter Thomas Roth’s SPF powder) on top of my makeup. This approach helps, but so far, I haven’t found the magic bullet.
Calendula has always worked wonders for me!
Rosace is difficult to deal with. I’ve found that a paste of oatmeal and milk is effective. The most important thing is to wear sunscreen. As much as we all love the sun, it is the worst possible thing for your skin! I use TNS and love it! The only problem I had with it was that I had to use a separate sunscreen, because it SO important girls of all ages! Problem solved!
I found cucumber work very well for redness. but he most important thing is to protect the skin from the UVA/UVB by using sun screen every single day of the year
My redness is usually a sympton of over treatment,red wine and foods I have sensitivities to. I use cold water, ice and chilled yogurt and then will let my skin rest after applying a calming lotion/gel before putting on makeup. Drinking green tea seems to lessen the heat within as well. I have sampled TNS Recovery and it seemed to help but I only used it for 2 days.
I have found that using a mask out of oatmeal w/ whole milk works wonders! :0)
Definetly stay out of the sun…..always use sunscreen. Love to put on a cooling mask followed by a cool cloth ahhhh
Being very fair in complexion, I always have to battle redness for some reason or another. In the summer, the heat and sun trigger my redness. In the winter, dryness and wind trigger it. For summer I have found that aloe based products really help, especially alcohol-free aloe toner sprays even throughout the day! In the winter, I slather on the moisturizers. Even if it’s a bit overkill, it makes my makeup look dewy and fresh!
For redness I mainly just try to cover it up with concealer and foundation after keeping skin moisturized! Would love to try a product to reduce redness!
For my redness and rosacea + dry skin, I found the best way to treat it is with a gentle cleanser (I am currently loving Obagi Rosaclear), apply a soothing and calming toner (I absolutely love Bioelements Calmitude Hydrating Solution – its ultrcalming extracts instantly relieve dehydration), followed by a Vitamin C serum in the day to strengthen the capillaries and Revaleskin Night Cream with Coffeeberry antioxidant at night. Of course, sunscreen is a must of at least SPF 30. Right now I am using Colorscience mineral powder in Perfect Medium. It has enough tint in it for me to even out the redness on most days.
3 times a week I use a Clarisonic brush in the shower, paying close attention to my chin, nose and forehead where most of the congestion is.
I have redness and sensitive skin. I have used the TNS Essential Serum for less than 2 weeks and have seen immediate results. I love it. It’s often hard for me to find products that work on African American skin with great results. The product is worth every penny I spent on it.
I’ve tried many things and products, including Rx…and still, the redness plagues me. Mostly around my nose. I’ve even had the little spider veins zapped with electrocautery needle. Didn’t really make them any better, and I still have scars a year later from it.
Use sunscreen daily and I also use Clinique Redness Solutions. I would love to try these products.
I haven’t found anything yet. Hope to win so that I can try these products!
For redness I take a cooled Chamomile tea bag and dab it on my face.
I haven’t found anything that will work on my neck. Have any suggestions?
Dermologica’s calming spray is great – I’ve also tried Redness Relief from Clinque which was ok….
Cool aloe vera gel is a must. A topical steroid cream (hydrocorisone) helps when quick redness relief is needed. I haven’t found that miracle product just yet…
I’ve found some moderate sucess with the Vbeam Perfecta laser and Pyratine-6 lotion.
I use stila’s green tinted corrective cream to cover but still need to try something else, occasionally it still bleeds thru – frustrating. Redness worsens if I consume liquor.
Hydrocortisone.
My dull, dry skin needs manual exfoliation to look good and control breakouts, but manually exfoliate too often and I turn red as a beet. Resisting the urge to exfoliate more than 3X per week keeps the redness from being awful. And good moisturizer! (now if only i could find one…)
My grandmother had rosecea, my mom has and and so do I – it’s so annoying!
Well my grandmother always said to use water on face. A lot of cool water when washing face.
I can add to that: I use only products without fragrance or added color. I refrain from saunas and I’m very careful in the sun.
With all this – it’s such a pain! I never really have it under control.
I have had lately a terrible red face after washing with just water. I went to my Derm. and he told me to take bleach baths for my skin, it has worked with medications, but I would love to get some new skin care products for my specific skin care condition. Thanks.
M2 Refinish 12%- It was remarkable how this reduced the redness in my face and acne.
Fruit of The Earth Aloe 100% Gel
Clinique ‘Redness Solutions’ Protective Base SPF 15
Clinique ‘Redness Solutions’ Urgent Relief Cream
Clinique ‘Redness Solutions’ Instant Relief Mineral Powder
I have two red blotches on my cheaks.. Ive used rosacia medication by Dr and helps reduce the reddness.. Ive stopped using the medication and Ive used Dr Pericone creams and so far so good.. not as noticeable.
I find that being a minimalist with makeup helps with redness. Also, willow herb and tea tree oil are good ingredients for my acne redness.
Sometimes I use the lining of chamomile tea. Cold chamomile tea bag compresses can alleviate some symptoms. It’s a cheap solution to quell rosacea. Sure, I’d try SkinMedica solution.
Metrogel or cream seems to do it for me. I also had kryotherapy for a couple of years in my younger days and that was a wonderful fix.
I use sunscreen everyday.
1. staying out of the sun in daytime (as much as possible)
2. being extremely gentle with cleansing (using cleansing water instead of a foaming cleanser if necessary) not using hot water on the face (lukewarm at most, but actually cooler water is more helpful)
3. gel textures are calming rather than thick creams
4. as natural as possible. (stay away from sls, and parabens if possible)
Minimal makeup.
In the long run, heavy makeup will only make redness worse. You’ll have to work harder to remove it, which causes more irritation. So focus on good skincare and you’ll need less makeup. I use a yellow based concealer around the nose and in strategic areas of the face and chin. Rosy gals don’t need blush, so focus on concealing properly instead of color. You don’t need to use a lot of concealer but using it properly will really brighten up the face.
I was using Avene products till Skin Medica came out with the redness relief. I bought it as soon as it came out and it really works. Not only on rosacea, but it removed redness from my husbands face after shaving. I also decided to try it on a rash that comes and goes on crease of arm and it cleared it up so no more topical steroids for me. I’m on my 2nd jar,it really does work!
Hydrocortisone cream seems to work well for redness…you just can’t use it for a long time.
I forgot to include before Avene I was using topical antibiotic lotion which cleared up acne but not redness,
The Skin Relief also has the lightest but yummy scent. It does not compete with your fragrance.
Redness can be kept under control by using lukewarm, not hot or cold, water on the face. Also, USE SUNSCREEN (for sensitive skin)! Would love to try these products by SkinMedica–thanks! I’m still searching for the ideal solution!
My keys to keeping my rosacea under control is to cleanse with oil (currently using SK-II), use Clarins Skin Beauty Repair Concentrate and use physical, not chemical sunscreens. My skin healed and rarely has an issue from this regimen whereas Metrogel made my skin worse.
Aloe and cucumbers seem to work for me!
Rosacea is a constant struggle because it seems to worsen with time, however I’ve started using a gentle foaming cleanser along with a prescription retinol, which seems to have kept it in check for some time. I’ve also had great results after getting a chemical peel.
I have used Skin Medica Redness Relief Complex for about two weeks now and have noticed a signifcant reduction in redness. I keep a sample that my dermatologist gave me and use it as I need during the day. I also use Clinique Redness Solutions foundation.
I use Aveeno Ultra-Calming face wash and their Ultra-Calming SPF 30 moisturizer.
I have only tried Clinque’s redness solution becuase I am living in Japan and this is what they have to buy on the military base. I have a hard time trying to get other things through the mail becuase not many people will ship to an APO address. I am hoping to find something soon because it is embarassing to have to get dressed up for the events I go to and then I have this red, blotty skin that ruins the whole outfit! I appreciate all the home remedies that others have suggested…I try them until we move back to the USA next year. Thank you!
Aloe vera, healthy diet and plenty of rest.
I use tetracycline when the rosacea is inflamatory. As to general skincare regimen, I have oily skin so the Glytone for Acne products work great at clearing the redness and uneven skintone and I have fewer flare ups. The biggest contributor to my out of control rosacea is stress, but good care products make it less a problem. The most disappointing product line I have come across for rosacea is the IS Clinical, which was just not very effective and a too pricey.
I’ve yet to find the miracle for my redness. Luckily it is light so most think I have a sunburn, but staying out of the sun is what works best for me, plus using a face day tinted moisurizer.
I like the coffeeberry line from Revale. This and a good moisturizer like atopalm MLE work well for redness and irritation.
I’ve managed redness with cold compresses of buttermilk, followed by Bare Escentuals mineral makeup….soothing and clarifying!
I haven’t found anything to help…so I would love to win something that does!! All I do is try to cover it…
I use milk to relieve the redness, and also fresh aloe vera works very well. I would definitely like to try the SkinMedica products.
I’ve suffered from redness for many years. For my redness, I try to use warm water to rinse my face. I also avoid direct sunlight when possible. To help with my redness, sometimes I mix manuka honey with oatmeal and do a mask to calm my redness. This is the only solution that works for me. I hope to find products that would help control the redness instead of always having to mix up a batch of manuka honey and oatmeal.
I have tried many.. too many to list with little or no results.
Haven’t found anything yet to help with sensitive skin
and some redness, too.
Help.
I use gentle, natural products like 100% Pure. Those seem to work pretty well.
I’m a fair skinned red head in my 50′s with lots of surface capillaries on my cheeks & nose. I also have extremely sensitive skin, very rosey cheeks
& rosacea flare ups. The swollen skin is hot, pink and tight feeling. I use Kinerase Gentle Daily Cleanser and a gentle touch with washing and drying my face. Boots Organic Face Rosewater Toner is perfect for me. It gently cleanses, refeshes & tones. The gentle rosewater scent is lovely & doesn’t dry out my skin. I keep a spray bottle full of it in the refrigerator. I spray it on my irritated cheeks for instant cooling. It is also very refreshing when the weather is hot.
I have found that PCA Skin’s A & C Synergy Serum works well at reducing redness by evening my overall skin tone.
For my redness in my complexion, I avoid using too cold or too hot water on my face. Also, stress can show up in your complexion. I love to go for long and relaxing walks to handle stressful times in my life.
For my redness – I just try to use the most gentle yet effective cleanser to get off my makeup at night.
I’ve been loving the Shu Uemura oil cleansers – they don’t dry my skin out – so they don’t cause more redness in my sensitive skin.
I have found nothing that works all the time for me. Please help! Thank you!
Since rosacea runs in my family, I thought I would have to accept just using gentle products, for example a cleanser with no additives or artificial chemicals. Recently, I have gotten some prescribed creams from my doctor that seem to help.
Keeping my sensitive skin clear is so important. I find that using products devoted to sensitive skin helps avoid irritation. The right product produces better skin and better skin makes me happy. Thank you.
Avene works well for red skin!
For redness I have tried using calming lotion in order to help my sensitive skin. However I have yet to find the ONE product that will really help especially during those harsh cold winter days. thanks for the giveaway dermstore!
dermaheal post laser cream is fantastic for redness!
Hypoallergenic skin care and makeup with organics and botanicals. Kineras and Ole Henricksen are some good brands
i use a special cream it’s from the local health food store all natural ingredients
I haven’t found anything yet! Hopefully this will work on my red skin!
TNS skin recovery works great and is good for senstive skin!!!
I use my Clarasonic and Mario Bandescu Seaweed Cleansing Soap and Seaweed toner to reduce the redness on my face.
I use seabuckthorn oil. I’d love to try your products to see if they’d help. They sound wonderful.
I haven’t found anything that will help me with my redness. I use a yellow based powder by tarte to camouflage it. Please help.
For my rosacea & non-specific redness, I use MetroGel 1%.This weekend I traveled home to Texas for a family reunion on my family’s cattle ranch. It was in the 90′s & we were outside a lot. I had forgotten my sunscreen, so I wore a hat, but was very worried about burning. I did burn & now I need more help than usual. My rosacea is going crazy right now! SkinMedica is exactly what I need & want to be able to use from now on. Wish me luck! Thanks!
I haven’t been able to find anything that really works! Aloe Vera helps a little but that’s all. Would love to find a product that works!!!! I’ve heard only good things about Skin Medica & I have been dying to try it! :~)
Sunscreen daily!
I haven’t found anything that helps. A steroid works briefly, but you want to avoid that on the face.
donna444444@yahoo.com
I have not found a great product yet. I use cool aloe vera gel & some aloe vera “juice” from my own aloe vera plant that I grow. I use sunscreen and moisturizer with a high SPF. and I use a concealer and foundation to cover the redness!
I try to stay out of the sun, stay away from spicy foods and cleansers that are too harsh for my skin. To cover up the red patches I use bare escentuals powder. Can’t wait to try these skinmedica products. Thanks
A careful diet, cool compresses and avoiding radical temperature changes. No product have helped so far, but I was just introduced to the Skinmedica line, so I am looking forward to trying the Redness Relief Calmplex and TNS Essential Serum.
I like the SkinMedica sunscreen- the worst thing is to add redness through sunburn! Also stay out of the sun in general!
An acquaintance of mine found out that over in Canada that the canadians are looking to go away from paper cheques. Do you or anyone heard if the European countries is thinking anything similiar?
