Eucerin Redness Relief Soothing Facial Cleanser-6.8 oz

I have what my dermatologist describes as mild to moderate rosacea. This problem has been getting progressively worse over a long period of time. I have never used any other product specifically for my rosacea except the medications perscribed by my doctor. While doing some research on the internet about rosacea I came across Eucerin as a sponsor of one of the sites. I already use a product from this company for a hand lotion and knew that it did a fabulous job for that and I began to wonder if the Redness Relief line might work also.

I have been using the Redness Relief Soothing Cleanser twice a day for two weeks now. I can see a marked difference in my face. I realize that all the instructions for this product state that for best results you should use if consistently for four weeks and I fully intend to do that.

Now, for some specific information. This is one of those tubes which sit on the opening/cap. DO NOT open the tube with it in that position. The product is rather thin and the first time I used it I had about a week's worth of product in my hand before I realized what was happening. I hold the tube sideways and squeeze out an amount about the size of a dime. Believe me, it is sufficient to cleanse my entire face. One slight drawback is that my skin does feel rather "tight" after the skin has completely dried. I don't think it would be very comfortable to just leave it that way. I use the Redness Relief Soothing Moisture Lotion in the daytime and the Rednes Relief Soothing Night Creme at bedtime. I am extremely sensitive to smells and odor and am very pleased to say that none of these products have any fragrance at all. (Some products claim to be fragrance free but if you are sensitive you find that it is often not a true claim.)

I will update this information after the full four weeks have elapsed. I hope my experience will help you in your decision making. I had trouble finding all three of these products at any one spot (in fact, I never did find the Night Creme here) so I just ordered all of them from Amazon.

****April 26, 2008****My trial period is up and now for the update. I have seen a high degree of difference in my skin tone since using the three Eucerin products. I would estimate as much as a 75% improvement. Since I have never used any cosmetics my rosacea has become more and more of a problem because people (friends) have begun to notice and be concerned for me. These three products, used on a daily basis, have made a huge, noticeable difference.

On the negative side, the skin cleanser leaves my face feeling tight and dry each and every time I use it. I would be very unhappy using this product by itself. Since I use a Eucerin lotion product for daytime and a cream at night,they take care of the discomfort. On the plus side, a very small amount goes a long way and there truly is no fragrance. People who are not sensitive to smell really cannot understand why that is so important. But, if you are like me, you know exactly why that is a very important factor in choosing this product.

I know that the combination of these three products has made a great deal of difference to me. If I were to stop using one of them, say this cleanser, would I still get the result I have now? I don't know. I'm not willing to experiment with leaving off the cleanser yet. Besides, I've still got several months of product in the tube. I had a mild flair-up of my rosacea during the trial period. I had to use my prescription medication, no choice. The combination of these products have a cosmetic effect only, they do not cure or heal rosacea. But then, they don't claim to do that.

I have tried everything under the sun for gentle frangrance free cleansers, and this is the best so far. No drynes, no redness, no acne! FINALLY A PRODUCT I AM NOT ALLERGIC TO!!!! THANK YOU.

There is a soothing effect but I did not see any change in eliminating the redness.

This product made my skin really dry. After I use it I can see dry patches on my cheeks and forehead and it appears that my skin is peeling. It also did not reduce redness. This product may work for some, but was not helpful to my sensitive skin. On a positive note, it doesn't sting or irritate my skin.

As a rule of thumb, gel cleansers are not for dry skin and as a person who has been on accutane for the past 5 months let me just say that rule holds true in this instance. If you are on accutane or have dry skin in general I would stay away from this product since it just irritated me after only 2 washes. Instead I would recommend Cetaphil gentle cleanser and you will be fine. The night creme is a nice compliment if you have dry peeling skin and need relief, but pass on the cleanser.

I can't speak for rosacea/acne sufferer's, so I would not deter those individuals from trying this product. No two people have the same reaction to every product, but if you have dry, sensitive skin beware!
