[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm looking forward to trying a low dose antibiotic and although I already knew I needed to, I'm going to make a serious effort to get my diet together (I eat like crap).[/quote]

OP, I am a PP. I think the antibiotic is critical for knocking out the break out flares you are having. That was the ONLY thing that stopped the cycle for me. After that, you will have to do trial and error. FInacea and metro gel did not work for me, but Soolantra seems to (although it could be just the residual effects of the antibiotic).

There are different kinds of IPL, some swear by V beam and others the regular IPL. Make sure you go somewhere where they will be willing to put numbing cream on first. this made a huge difference for me in tolerating it.

I've tried a ton of rosacea products, creams, etc. I find a very gentle cleanser (cetaphil) to be good. I use elta sunscreen too, The very very best  combo of sunscreen/bb cream for me is by color science and it is called "All Calm." As the name suggests, it counteracts redness and is excellent for rosacea prone skin. I actually dont need to use if often anymore, but I did when I was still getting a lot of redness. It feels really good, not chalky, and lasts. I was recommended it by the derm who started me on soolantra.

But start the antibiotics, clean up your diet and try something else beside metro gel. Don't go down the rabbit hole of tons of expensive creams, etc, until you start with this as you need to know what is effective. [/quote]
