After a couple of days of doing the left side/right side routine with using the Rosacea Ltd. disks also, I decided to bite the bullet and go whole hog! My rationale: the disks had gotten me to a very good place with my skin (no more bumps, no more nose/cheek dilated capillaries, very little flaring) and as anyone who has communicated with me knows, I have been apprehensive that since I had finally found something that worked well for me after all those years of trying "stuff"-that one day it (the disks) too would be rejected by my skin and no longer work. I have been on the disks for about 8 1/2 months now-and the good results have been maintained. So I decided to give my face a break from the disks and be a complete purist with Dr. Linda's products. I had been using only her soap, lotion, & makeup/ powder to this point, but had continued the disk treatment in conjunction with those products. So I started the acne gel from a unique standpoint-my skin was already clear from the months on the disks-now I needed to see if that could be maintained, or improved upon?, with using the Dr.Sy products. I will need to give updates for a time, but after a week I am pleased to report that I have had no flares or returns of any dubious symptoms sans disks-so so far my skin is maintaining, and glad to report with the oil and lotion, much less dry (I had already noticed this positive effect as I had continued the disks w/ the lotion and oil). My skin seems to this point non-reactive (negatively that is), to the acne gel, even with the alcohol in it, and if it continues to keep away the bumps, redness, and doesn't allow the dilated capillaries to return, then I have found another product that works for me. I feel, for no apparent medical knowledge based reason, that alternating between products that work for you, (giving your face a break between product use), may somehow keep you from becoming immune to the good effects of one- a rest from one-a kick in the you know what, to your face so it doesn't get too complacent with one product. I will be very pleased if the good results from Dr. Linda's products continue so that I have more than one product to rely on that would work for me. I'll keep you updated! debbie g.
