I am fairly new, have learned a lot from this forum and book. I am a DSPW- slightly dry and sensitive. Sensitivity due to Rosacea. Have had 4 Beta-Lift peels done earlier this year- kind of suspect I probably should not have done that now. At the beginning of first peel Dr. said - ah you are very sensitive. Was scheduled for 2 more for a total of 6- decided wasn't what I really needed at this time-if ever. Three years ago used Renova- stupidly stopped it was working very well. Trying to use again without irritation.
Now using- AM Ponds Cold Cream or Cetaphil Cleanser
L'Occtaine Ultra Moisturizing Care
Foundation-Prescriptives Yuck-looking for new one
or Philosophy The Supernatural Poseless-Flawless
PM Ponds
Atopalm MLE Face Cream
Renova .02 every other to every 3rd day
Body moisturizer- Cetaphil Moisturizing cream Best thing I have discovered so far for me- the bumps on the backs of arms are nonexistant to gone. Have had a Dr. prescribe urea cream in past which did nothing for chicken skin.
Does anyone know of a good Dermatologist located in north Fla. or South Ga? Need a new one quickly! Think I need a Rosacea med.
Rosacea? in past have only had few small broken blood vessels(which Laser took care of)and few small bumps. I now have few more broken vessels, and dry flakey patches- on right cheek and each side of mouth. I have wondered if ones to side of mouth are due to fact that on nights I use Renova and sleep on my sides- and drool :o(water and Renova aren't good together). But I did not have this problem when I used Renova before. Can Rosacea do this??
Back to Foundation issues- recently tried Arden's with ceramide - too few colors none to match me- and made my skin crawl- counld not wait to get it off. Too heavy- I am slightly oily in T-zone. My pores(nose) looked like craters. Am going to have to go to a much larger city for this-I think.

PS-sorry I know I can't spell worth a toot :-
