Prosacea Review

I suffer from rosacea. It hasn't always been an issue, in fact, it only flared its ugly head when I was pregnant with my youngest who is now 5 months old. It began as a persistent patch of dry skin on my cheek. The patch erupted in bumps that looked like tightly packed micropimples. I had no other bumps anywhere on my face.

That didn't last long.

The rosacea spread to my other cheek, my nose and my chin. My eyes became red and inflamed with what my eye doctor calls "ocular rosacea". I was basically a hot mess.

I tried calling my primary care doctor for a referral to a dermatologist, but I live in MA and our universal healthcare universally stinks. I never got a call back and nobody seems to answer the phone at their practice. Not wanting to play phone tag for weeks on end while my face got worse, I took matters into my own hands and headed to the internet to consult my good friend, Google.

Dear Google told me about a little-known something called Prosacea. It's homeopathic. I was instantly skeptical. To me, homeopathic OTC medications just don't work as real as the chemically laden mainstream medications. Having no other options, I decided to give it a shot.

I've been using it in conjunction with Neutrogena's redness reducing cleanser. I apply the cleanser first, gently clean my skin, dry it and then apply the Prosacea.

The end result is pretty good. I've been using the system 2 times daily for 2 days and my face is noticeably softer with less bumps. The worst of the bumps are still there, but not as large and red as they were.

I will say though that the price ($8.88 for the Prosacea and $6.97 for the cream cleanser) is a bit steep considering the package sizes. The Prosacea gel also smells pretty bad since Sulfur is the main ingredient. I can't use it at night or it's hard to sleep with the stinky sulfur smell attacking my senses. I feel bad for my husband when he goes in for a kiss and gets a whiff of the face products.

On the other hand, the Neutrogena cleanser smells wonderful. It has chamomile extract in it which gives it a distinct smell. I wish the smell of the face cleanser would linger and drown out the Prosacea, but that doesn't happen.

So, in conclusion, if you have rosacea, consider using Prosacea and the green Neutrogrena cream cleanser.
