Rosacure – Help For Red Skin

If you suffer from sensitive, red skin such as rosacea, you may want to consider incorporating an anti-redness treatment such as Rosacure into your skin care routine.

Rosacea is thought to affect around 14 million individuals in North America alone, yet we still know little about what cuases it. Theories abound, from infection with a mite called Dermodex folliculorum to an underlying problem with the vascular system. Whatever, the reason, rosacea tends to present with 4 main symptoms:

• Flushing (often the earliest sign)
• Persistent redness
• Red bumps and
• Visible blood vessels

Some individuals experience acne-like blemishes.

While the classic treatment for red skin conditions such as rosacea employs the application of the drug metronidazole (MetroGel, etc) topically, other agents such as adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, erythromycin gel or azelaic acid have also been shown to be effective. However, regular use of antibacterial agents does carry the potential for developing bacterial resistance and is something to keep in mind.

In addition to antibacterials, topically applied salicylic acid, sulfur, antioxidants as well as laser treatments may help. Individuals respond differently so what works for your best friend may not necessarily work for you.

Why Rosacure Works

Rosacure combines MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), a sulfur compound along with silymarin (an extract of Lady’s Thistle). MSM and silymarin work synergistically to strengthen the skin’s barrier system thereby helping to minimize redness and flushing. Rosacure is available without a prescription and may be used on its own or in conjunction with prescribed topical or oral medications to treat redness and rosacea. It should be applied sparingly twice daily.
