He thinks it works pretty well..I think it covers it well too, but sometimes I can see green where he didnt rub it in all the way...his skin does look less red, infact he even seems to have a tan this year which is something new...usually its just red...

hi! i have got KP on my cheeks and a couple of months ago i had lasering done to try and take away the redness because people seem to think that i was constantly blushing or something. the bumps dont really worry me so all i really wanted was to get rid of the redness. since the lasering (which didnt hurt) my cheeks have calmed right down and it isn't really that red at all, which is great. i think i will have one or two more lasering session, so the red on my cheeks will be entily gone . you can also get it done on your arms or wherever else you have it (i also have it on my arms and a tiny bit on my legs, but that doesnt worry me). also i have found that using a moisturiser for dry skin also helps i use QV which has been great.

if you have any other suggestions for how to get rid of the redness please tell me

Talking KPRF and Eucerin

I've been using the Eucerin Redness relief night cream for only a week or so, and it's a miracle!

My derm tried to tell me that I have a mild case of rosacea - because my mother has it - and that only laser treatments would help. Bull...****. All the pics of KPRF that I have seen are my cheeks. Even my mother says that those pics could be of me.

I use the night cream because I sweat excessively during the day, so the daytime lotions would slide right off. I used to use HydraLac (for my thighs and elbows) on my face, it made the skin softer but the redness never went away.

Now when I look in the mirror I can see my freckles...not red cheeks!!!

smithten_76 have you just been using the night cream and not the day ones?

Also, I look like those pictures aswell, had the redness gone down much?

Cheers mate

Hi buck!

I can only use the night cream - I sweat heavily during the day, so I hate wearing lotion and can't wear makeup. The redness has faded to a pink, looks soooo much better. My face looks and feels healthy now. Maybe I'll try the face wash next.

But I do highly recommend the night cream - it's almost fun to wake up in the morning and the results!

Blessings!!!
