If your derm recommends this like mine did for rosacea - ignore them.
I don’t know what derm on this planet thinks a product with fragrance & foaming is good for rosacea skin.
I’ve broken out in little white heads all over my face and a couple bigger ones three days into using this. My skin on my nose is starting to flake and dry.
You can try it if you want but i wouldn't not recommend this at Show more
