My SIL came to visit...took the test....and is an OSNW...I believe her scores for O were 31 & the score for S was 36. (for rosacea on the cheeks- no acne anywhere) She was doing several things wrong - using a facial scrub almost every day and using a toner...

She has decided to try Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser and Eucerin Redness Relief Daily Perfecting Lotion SPF 15 for the daytime....

I read in the book that "Once redness calms, you can prevent wrinkles with the antioxidant moisturizers and serums."

I know that she is anxious to begin using the antioxidant and wrinkle products.....and I have emphasized that she should only use one product for a couple of weeks before adding another to see if she has a reaction....

If she uses the Aveeno cleanser & Eucerin lotion with SPF for 2 - 3 weeks with no problems....do you think she can start using the antioxidant/wrinkle (retinol) products everywhere except for her cheeks? Or should she get the rosacea completely under control on her cheeks before she begins using other products anywhere else on the face??? (wondering if the other products could "travel" and mess up her cheeks)

Any other advice will be appreciated since I am almost opposite her. (drpw)

Thanks for all your help....MsBee
