I want to buy the right form of Vitamin C, but am confused with how much ferulic and hylaronic acid it should have, or do I purchase things separately? currently I use an overpriced a serum by neocuticles and a cream for my face and alternate with Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel (I love the way it feels), and throw retin a in the mix. Can someone suggest something easier for me?
Answer: Vbeam can help defuse redness from rosacea. Pair with melarase creams Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Improving Rosacea with Clear + Brilliant, peels and VBeam/Yellow lasers, Botox/Xeomin/Dysport I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V, Clear + Brilliant), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Skin Regimen: According to the Duke Antioxidant patent, in order for a vitamin C serum to be effective it must be formulated with pure L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) at an acidic pH within the 2.0-3.5 pH range and have a concentration between 10-20%. SkinCeuticals C E features a synergistic antioxidant combination of 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), and 0.5% ferulic acid to enhance protection against environmental damage caused by free radicals that can contribute to atmospheric aging. For redness, we would recommend SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel. This is a complexion calming gel with a 4.5% botanical blend of cucumber, thyme, and olive leaf extracts. It has hyaluronic acid and mulberry extract and simultaneously soothes and hydrates sensitive skin.

Answer: Skin Care For Anti-Aging and Rosacea Thank you for your question. I understand your frustration and confusion; there are so many products out there and it is hard to decipher what is good for YOU. For rosacea, I highly recommend a cleanser with green tea- this can soothe the inflammation. When you need to exfoliate, I would use a cleanser with glycolic acid rather than a scrub because it is irritating and can cause your rosacea to flare up. Retin A can irritate your rosacea too, but it is great for anti-aging. Everybody should use a hyaluronic acid and a vitamin C; you can buy these separately. It really will be trial and error for you because what is good for anti-aging is often irritating for rosacea. Best of luck to you!
