I developed rosacea from overusing corticosteroids: acne rosacea and redness around my eyes and nose. I can not use AHA and retinol products now even though I could use it before. I did 2 v beam and 2 yag lasers within 2 months, but still have constant blushing and flushing. Is it too earlier to see the results or I should try something else? Oracea and finacea are not working for me. My dermatologist use settings such as 9.5 the first treatment and then 10.5 with no succsess even though my face was swallen for 1 week and also was more red for 2-3 days
