Anti-aging Treatments for Rosacea?
I am 48 and have rosacea (under pretty good control with Metrogel for years). I have fair, sundamaged skin. Are there any anti-aging treatments or regimens to get younger looking skin? All I hear about is Retin-A and I cannot tolerate this. My dermatologist says I could do microdermabrasion, but I feel my skin is too sensitive. Can you recommend any skin care line or products for sensitive/rosacea skin that would work like Retin-A?
