How To Treat KPRF (The Official Treatment Plan and the only one that works)

nah I tried this last summer. Just a waste of around 60 bucks. Daily perfecting lotion and the other diminisher thingy are just lotions, the touch up one doesnt even have an active ingredient. Just a fancy cover up name for make up for us guys to fall for. It did make the permanent redness go away a lil though, but then after a month it just burned my skin. Makes me wonder if I have rosacea

alright, been almost two months since i've used this every day as mentioned. it does seem to have reduced some of the red, my skin texture is somewhat better, but the flairups are still occuring but less often i feel, but the coverup stuff can't hide when flairups are at their worst. keep in mind that this is winter (and im in northern illinois) and i run outside regularly which takes a number on my face skin to begin with. i don't think i will stop using these products as i feel my face is better feeling more often than it was before. so was this a total cure? nope, but it has helped.

i spent about $65 on the cleanser, day moisturizer, evening moisturizer and pen-type thing with the green stuff. with the green stuff, i had to pile on more foundation to hide the green, and i ended up looking ghoulish. at first the cleanser seemed to be helping somewhat, but after about a month i wasn't sure if it had done anything or not. i want noticeable results, so i didn't purchase the stuff again.

Here is the thing, this does not hide the redness, I never claimed that it would make your face look "pale" or completely even in coloration.

What it does do, however, is allow your facial redness to look more "natural" and better blend it in with your face. You should apply the day lotion and rub it in so that you cannot even tell that it is on your face. This will take down your facial redness a few shades (which makes a big difference) and then if you are a woman apply your makeup.

Then again, if you are a woman you probably have various other alternatives open to your with facial redness cover-up.

Also I would like to stress again how helpful the night lotion is. It really helps in toning down the facial redness over a period of a few months and greatly helps in your "blending" efforts with the day lotion.

This made absolutely no difference in the extreme redness of my 14 year old son's face, unfortunately. I had seen the ads, eagerly awaited the arrival and immediately purchased the Eucerin product the minute it was available on the market. Oh, well.

For the guys reading this, I really recommend it. I bought all three. I can't really tell yet if the nightly lotion / cleanser are working, but the concealer is great. It takes the redness down a few shades, plus it helps out psychologically. I use to always be worrying about how red my face was when i was at a club or a bar, and although I still worry sometimes, I feel a lot better being out in public.

This is for the redness of the face.

Do Not:

Try tropical steroids
Use exfoliation
Undertake any kind of laser treatment (There is currently NO LASER TREATMENT FOR KPRF)
Talk with a dermatologist (don't waste your time)

There is only one treatment plan:

Buy Eucerin's Redness Relief line of products.

Buy their soap and use it on your face, buy their night lotion and lather up at night. These two products will diminish your redness, however, it will still be prevalent. More importantly, it will help reduce the "solid line" that divides your red skin from your regular skin that makes KPRF so unsightly.

Now, buy the Day lotion and the concealer stick. Use the day lotion in the following manner:

Day Lotion Instructions:

-Apply very small amounts, rub it in, and then apply more as needed. If you are male it is very important to avoid overapplying. If there are some portions of your face that require a very large amount of lotion to conceal, pull out the concealing stick and use that in those small areas. Be sure to use a tissue to wipe away the excess and ensure that there is no lotion on parts of your face that are not red (to avoid a white line around the redness)

All products mentioned are in the Eucerin Redness Relief line! Google it!

I have extremely severe KPRF (worse than on the two pictures available through the google search) and this diminishes the redness to a point where the redness on my cheeks is mistaken for an unusually healthy glow.

I have named this the "official treatment plan" because this is the only treatment plan that has had any positive feedback on this board.

For those of you unable to purchase this brand of products due to living outside the US please post and I will be more than happy to assist you.

blembek any chance u cud help me aquire this stuff as i too am from outside the us (the uk to be exact)
cheers

Has anyone had success with accupuncture?

I've been using all three of the Eucerin Redness Relief products for about a week now. Here's what I have experienced.

My face feels good after using the cleaner both day and night. It also feels good after using the night cream. But both of these products haven't seem to do much for the redness...yet.

The daily lotion has done a little to conceal the redness but I've also found that it doesn't always rub in very well. When rubbing it in, I end up getting flakes of lotion. Maybe it takes a little getting used to but when I look at my face during the day, I can tell there is something on it.

So I guess I'm going to keep using it to see if there is any difference because its only been a week.

So its been a couple weeks now that I've been using the Eucerin products.

I realy like how the night cream feels and I feel that my cheeks are getting a a little bit smoother. I also like how the cleanser feels. However, I'm having problems with the daily lotion. It doesn't seem to rub in and absorb into my skin. Always seems to leave somewhat of a residue but it does conceal to a certain extent. I can't say my flushing has subsided but I am willing to continue to try these products.

I think I'm going to try to use these products without the day lotion. I might just try without any lotion all together or try using another daily moisturizer. I'll keep you posted.

The daylotion contains much of the same ingredients as the night lotion, and it will greatly help maintain the reduction in redness over the entire day.

Remember that this is only something to take you down a few shades (50% reduction in redness) Don't use the concealer like makeup!

what the heck is this stuff, it's green and after i put it on, it makes my face look pale and powdery. am i applying too much?

Prager34 · #28 04-24-2006, 02:40 AM

Agenda,

Yeah I would say that you are probably putting too much on if its looking too pale or powdery. This was the problem I had when I first used it. It wouldn't seem to absorb into my skin either. I realized I was putting way too much on. I was also putting it all over my face.

Now I just put a very very thin layer on only the redness of the cheeks and nothing else. It definitely works better and tones down the redness a bit. The key is definitely small applications of the day lotion. Go wild with the night creme but use the day lotion sparingly. Hope this helps.

I have but one problem. Using the Eucerin product to treat my KPRF has been mostly positive but I'm worried that if its not really improving the condition of my skin or the redness and just covering it up...is it even worth it? It is nice to have the redness toned down a bit but when everything is washed away, the redness is still there as red as ever.

Prager34 · #30 05-07-2006, 03:46 AM

How is everyone doing that is using the Eucerin products to treat their KPRF? I've been using it for about a month. I'm pretty happy with the outcome so far. It took me a while to figure out the best use for each of the products but I think this has been the best treatment option for me thus far.

The daily lotion really does conceal some of the redness to make the normal skin blend in well. Because I've been a few shades less red, I've felt more and more confidence lately and am not so worried about my redness with or without flushing.

How are these Eucerin products working for the rest of you?
