Ask Dr. Beckman: I have rosacea, what can I use to help?

Rosacea is a common but poorly understood disorder of the facial skin that is estimated to affect well over 16 million Americans. While not a serious health threat, because of its red-faced, acne-like effects on personal appearance, it can cause significant psychological, social and occupational problems if left untreated. There are several over the counter and even prescriptions and they work or don’t work on a varying scale. I want to share with you the story of a fair-skinned, early 40′s female who contacted us with rosacea. She had tried everything under the sun to no avail. We sent her a Theraderm Skin Renewal System with Peptide Hydrator to try. Here is what she had to say:

After a week of using the system twice a day, I saw measurable results. The redness had faded slightly, and the texture of my skin was smoother.

After a month of using the system, I was able to forgo concealer and foundation on most occasions. There were still days when external triggers (spicy foods, sun, wind) forced me to wear makeup. You have no idea how pleased with the results I was. It had been 8 years since I had skin that wasn’t bright red. I tried every makeup imaginable to cover up the redness, and after an hour or so, it was as if I had never applied makeup. The redness appeared and with a vengeance.

At the beginning of November, I met my sister in New York City for the day. She hadn’t seen me since I began using the Theraderm Skin Renewal System. She immediately noticed and commented on my skin. The redness was diminished. My skin tone was more even. There were no longer bumps and blemishes on my chin and cheeks.

Her results are amazing!* If you are struggling with this issue – you should give my products a try. They are far superior to most products on the market. I developed them with the end user, YOU, in mind.

*these are her personal results…results may vary.
