Rosacea Cream - Sea Buckthorn Anti Redness Treatment

I haven't been using this cream very long, but already I have seen a difference in the overall health of my skin. I am 40, with fair skin that is in rather good condition (not perfect though !!), but have recently started using retinol (for about 5 months) and then noticed that with that, comes a bit of redness... but maybe that could have been coming on with age to, if I'm to be honest. I tried using a cream with vitamin K in it, but found it was way too thick and never sunk into my skin ; it just sat on top, annoying and ugly because then my make up just layered over that. I knew of the benefits of sea buckthorn but have never used a cream with the oil in it (I have used the oil in my hair or neat on my skin now and then) so when I was searching for a nourishing cream to counteract the retinol as well as improve my skin, I decided on this product. I have not been disappointed at all !! At night I am able to use the retinol, as well as the ArganOrganics cream, and when I wake up my skin looks even better than when I used the retinol alone. It's not a heavy cream, or even a truly light one, but the texture is perfect and it doesn't rest on the surface of my face like many do ; instead it soaks in and enriches it. I didn't really have any lines to worry about, but the ones I did have a plumped a bit (a healthy plump, not one because of topical irritation). The cream doesn't irritate my skin or clog my pores either. The colour shouldn't be off-putting to one thinking of using this product. While it is rather orange, it doesn't make the skin orange. Just to be on the safe side, avoid using a white pillow at night though (small price to pay for the benefits). I have been using it in the morning too, as I have come to prefer this to my normal day cream with spf. Topped with my make-up that does have a bit of sun protection, that is fine for every-day purposes for me. A few other reviewers commented on the scent. There is a scent, but I would not describe it as bad, earthy, etc. I was surprised because I assumed it would smell like sea buckthorn oil (fruity) and it doesn't. Honestly, I can't place the scent (maybe a truly light-thyme??), but I do like it. It doesn't smell false or artificial ; it isn't strong and doesn't give me a headache; and it also doesn't last. This cream doesn't cover up any redness in the skin, but seems to heal it from the inside. I do regular peels and will probably lean on this cream post-peel (it's that good) while I'm hiding indoors. So if you are seeking something to help calm skin, but feed it too, you won't be disappointed in this choice. That all being said, I live in pharmacie heaven and while I do love shopping locally for just about everything, but I believe that this will be the exception to my rule, and I will be a repeat customer from far away.

I bought this cream because I was recently diagnosed with rosacea, something I've been suffering with for at least 6 years; mainly I get red, inflamed cheeks and small little pimples, making it look like a rash. I solved the mini pimple problem with the Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion, and my cheeks were now smooth but inflamed.This product had instant results on my skin and really does give me an even, natural skin tone, so much so that I don't feel like I need foundation or concealer. It is a very moisturising product that I'd only recommend for dry/normal skin types (my T zone is oily but my cheeks are normal). It has changed the texture of my skin, so it no longer feels tight or rough, but soft and hydrated, and that effect lasts all day. The anti-redness doesn't last as long, but I would expect this. It lasts about 5-6 hours. I use this cream day and night and even if I haven't used it for 24 hours, my cheeks still feel really soft and moisturised, which I'm really impressed with, and the price is nothing compared to some other anti-redness products out there, such as the Clinique line.Overall I'm very happy with this product and would definitely repurchase (though it's lasting me a long time!)

Having suffered from rosacea for nearly 4 years now, I had lost hope that anything natural would make any sigificant difference to my red, burning, spotty skin. Yes, steroid cream and antibiotics work, but who wants to be on those forever?! Steroid cream thins the skin and being on antibiotics for years at a time is not good. My skin burned every time I scratched it and the build up of skin meant I couldn't even wear make up as it looked awful. I dreaded going out and even had days when I wouldn't want anyone to look at me. Then I found this cream. I applied the cream, morning and night, and after 4 days I noticed a significant improvement in the redness on my cheeks. And this morning, after using the cream for 4 weeks, my mother asked me if I was wearing make-up, when I wasn't. This cream has stopped the build-up of skin, leaving it much softer and has calmed the skin, making it less itchy and decreasing that 'sunburn' feeling. I couldn't even tolerate a few strands of hair touching my face before this. The spots have gradually stopped too. I'm actually starting to see patches of my real skin tone appearing on my cheeks. I realise that with prescription medictations, the results are quick but are damaging long-term, and even then, not permanent. This cream, full of natural products, is working a bit more slowly, but surely, without the risk of any skin damage. If this is what I can achieve in only a month, I can't wait to see what 3 or 6 months will bring. Many thanks to the producers of this cream for giving me hope that I can beat this.
