Did you know that an estimated 14 million Americans suffer from rosacea? I am one of those millions. I suffer from rosacea, but I haven’t always. In fact, it wasn’t until I was in my mid-30’s before it began to rear its ugly head. It started as this tiny little patch of dry, red skin right along the side of my nose (where my cheek and nostril meet) that just wouldn’t go away. Then the redness began to develop on both sides of my nose, where it slowly crept across my cheeks, and now, it is on my chin and forehead as well. The worst spot is the place where it all began. I guess I should be thankful that the only place the bumps appear is on the original starting spot, but the redness is beyond noticeable.
If you are not familiar with it, rosacea is a condition that causes excessive redness on your face, along with bumps, irritation and discomfort. Flare ups always seem to come at the worst times, and your natural instinct is to find a way to cover it up. For years I would do my best to hide it, using cover up and base and thick powders. It took me quite awhile to learn that I should concentrate on healing and treating the problem so that I don’t have to feel like I need to wear concealing makeup all the time.
Thankfully there is a wonderful homeopathic product out there that can help. A product called Prosacea® whose fitting motto is “Heal, Don’t Conceal”.
Prosacea Medicated Rosacea Gel is a non-prescription, dermatologist recommended, homeopathic topical gel used to treat rosacea and acne. Applying it daily to clean skin can bring about a reduction of visible symptoms in those suffering from rosacea including the embarrassing redness, bumps and irritation.
Its lightweight, water-based formula goes on easily, absorbs quickly, and provides a flawless finish under makeup. And since it also contains Aloe, it is quite effective at soothing dry, reddened skin. Prosacea can be used alone, under moisturizer, or even under makeup to help treat and heal your redness so you no longer feel the need to cover it up.
Prosacea® is actually the #1 over-the-counter rosacea treatment with a 90% satisfaction among users because it works! I have been using it for close to three weeks now and I can see quite a difference. Just look at my before and after pictures!
I love that Prosacea is a water-based formula so I don’t have to worry about breakouts, or about it leaving a greasy residue on my skin like other medications I have tried. Plus, since the formula so light, it doesn’t feel as though I am adding layer after layer of products on my face! Now I have the confidence in my skin I need to no longer hide under layers of makeup!
Although Prosacea is not a prescription medication, like with everything in your medicine cabinet, please make sure to read and follow all label instructions before using.

I have severe rosacea that can get so bad, I don't want to leave the house at times. About a month ago, I had a particularly horrible flare up, and was miserable for days. Not knowing what to do, I decided to purchase some Prosacea as a last-ditch effort since literally nothing else works with such awful flares. From the first application, my skin immediately felt soothed, and after it dried I followed up with a gentle moisturizer and repeated the process twice a day. The change in my skin is truly amazing and I have more self confidence than ever! I also began collecting artesian water from the local artesian well, because it has a high sulpher content. I use the water as a rinse after washing my face, and I use the Prosacea if and when I have flares, even though they're less frequent now. Sulphur is amazing!

I have been suffering with acne rosacea for many years. It started off at a young age and never went away so all the scaring from over the years have left alot of insecurities. Until recently i found out about this product from my boyfriend who has just rosacea. When i picked it up and read the lable i saw that it helped with acne.At this point I already tryied everything in world to stop acne and it always keeps coming back with more problems. One month of prosacea use and this product has been preventing breakouts and lessend alot if inflammation. Having less breakouts and noticing my true beauty that was hiding behind breakouts has made me more confident and modivated. I can actually look people in the eyes! I dont mind if i have to use it everyday and night of my life i am just very glad i found somthing that will always keep working without fail or fear of my condition taking over me.
