Cutanix DRL - progress
I received the Cutanix for sensitive skin about a month ago. I was
dealing with a bad breakout of SD over Christmas. I had been using
OTC Hydrocortisone and had gotten my forehead under control. My Chin
and around my nose was still flaking somewhat.
So I started using the Cutanix on my forehead and stopped using any
hydrocortisone in that area. The cutanix has left my skin very
smooth and very hydrated. (the best is has felt in over 2 years) The
first week I broke out with little bumps, but decided to ride it
out. THe bumps disappeared and I have not had one flake on my
forehead.
Around my chin and nose is a different story. Over the past month
those areas had been red and inflamed and if I try to put the cutanix
on it, it was irratating and left a burning sensation. But as of
this AM, I felt it was calmed down enought to apply the Cutanix there.
I definitely want to get off of the hydrocortisone. Will post
results in a month or so.

Hi,
If your problem is a lot of sebum production resulting in itching,
redness and some inflammation I would suggest you try the Vichy
Normaderm moisturizer combined with the normaderm facial cleanser.
These products contain among other ingredients salicylic acid and
glycolic acid. I have been using these for 6 days, and have not been
using the Cutanix these days. I am very pleased. (I also use the
normderm astringent toner, but I feel this product might be enough
using every other day because of the alcohol it contains)
In any event, after applying the moisturizer at the end of my routine
morning and evening my skin looks totally normal for hours, then some
time during the day some sebum returns to give the seb derm fuel, but
it is only day 6 still, and Vichy says it takes one month to see best
effect. I think this moisturizer is some kind of break through.
Anyways, check out www.vichy.com
Best wishes,

It is almost a month since I last posted. I have gotten off the
hydrocortisone completely and have been using Cutanix on my entire
face. So Far so good.
Over the past few days I have had some minimal flaking and redness.
I am hoping the honeymoon is not over. Seems like that happens with
some treatement after a while, it just stops working. I had
forgotten to wash with Nizoral shampoo this week, so maybe that was
the cause.
Overall, I am very pleased with this product. My face is the closest
to normal that it has been in a long time. I am even putting the
product on my rosacea area, in place of metrogel to see if I have any
positive results.
