My SD has been pretty bad this week… must be the cold (it’s in
single digits in the Northeast this week.

I'm also using Finacea (azelaic acid) for rosacea, which works well at stopping "bumps" (papules, etc). As for the redness... if you find something that works, please let me know!

How well does it work at reducing the redness ? as flakes aren't really an issue for me. Thanks for the reply Jon, trying to find it in the UK isn’t easy

I would recommend it. It only costs about $5 a bar (which lasts for months) so you're not out much if it doesn't work. Good luck! ZNP works pretty well for me… I would recommend it. It only costs

I'll take a look into Plexion TS, what goups of drougs does it fall under (e.g steriod, anti fungal etc). ZNP bar is something thats also seems to get a lot of praise, perhaps I should give this a go too ? Yeah I’ve read that many a time and thats probably what scares me the
