SuzyQ3 -I would love to know exactly what products you use. I also have mild rosacea and am having a difficult time finding anything that I like right now.

I wrote a pretty lengthy reply to the other poster who asked me. I don't know whether she saw it, or maybe it wasn't helpful to her. Anyway, it's Post #21.

Truth be told, though, I'm going through a bit of rough time with my skin right now. I'm having a horrible allergy (nasal/eyes), as are tons of people in my drought-stricken state, and I think it's affecting my skin -- a couple of red, rough patches popping up. And I haven't switched or used anything different. I'm now taking an OTC med daily, so hopefully this shall pass.

One thing I have stopped since this problem started is Paula's Choice BHA 4% foam I was using. I think my skin right now doesn't approve of it.

Ah, sorry to hear about the allergy bout. It makes sense that the lack of rain to wash away allergens would be affecting you and so many others. Sure hope the OTC chases away what the lack of rain is not. Feel better, bud.

Re: Most expensive is not always best.

Both OLAY and Almay skin care products have broken my skin out. I have used Principle Secret/Reclaim for 15+ years- it costs about the same as high end drugstore products or mabey in the Clinique price range.
